Vertigo Race Car to have 910PS??

[Buggy Boy]

In the ad for GT4 in Car magazine, the Vertigo is included and again is said "having 897 HP".

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=55614

Meanwhile I found the official Gillet Vertigo website up again, and that says only 385 HP for the Vertigo engine in racing lay-out.

http://www.gilletvertigo.com/frb/racing.htm

I've posted on a Belgian race car forum to get information about a Vertigo with 897 HP. I'll keep you informed, but don't expect too much : the superVertigo in GT4 is probably a phantasy car.

Isn't that car a FF?

 

[speed_freak]

No

It has 910 horsepower off the floor. Stage 4 turbo, the only modification for power available, will give it another 60 bhp.

keep cool guys... it has perhaps very unrealistic 910 pS but it ONLY has turbo 4 as upgrade, where other cars have 1, 2, 3 and 4!! so that could mean that THE VERTIGO IS TUNED FROM THE START with turbo(s 1, 2 and )3 that´s why it has 900 instead of 400 PS!
and the turbo 4 ONLY brings another 60 so this CAR IS ALREADY AT THE LIMIT-i just don´t know why PD tunes this car(perhaps to make this car competitive for the audis, bentley and toyotas....)

so it´s perhaps THE ONLY ANSWER to this very unrealistic data...

 

[Fruitcake]

there is something wrong with your capslock

 

[GT-One Lover]

and there´s something wrong with your topic-referrement!
please stay by the topic and don´t discuss other people´s posts!
the vertigo is-in my opinion- a race car, which is tuned up to 910 PS (probably with turbo 3)so that it can hold on against the other LM Racecars like Bentley, Sauber, Toyota, etc.
and this car doesn´t exist in real(the vertigos have around 400 PS!) but nice specs from the start! :>

 

[kamikazekoala]

Well, at least it gives me a reason to use the damn car in a race now.

It sucked in GT3...

The Vertigo is not turbocharged in stock form, as there is no boost gauge/turbo noise. It is of note that there are number of highly tuned naturally aspirated engines that have stage 4 turbo as the sole power upgrade. The BMW V12 LMR is a good example.

Off topic: GT-One, you will be pleased to know that the TS020 is now significantly faster than the R-390. At least PD has seen fit to fix that annoying GT3 oversight.

Sucked...how so? GT games should trade on realism rather than inflated speed and specs.

 

[mustang_4_ever]

yeah, but it gives you the tuning option.. plus formula one cars, last season were alittle over 1000hp, around 18000rpm. the gillet vertigo is a wild car

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

I know one thing: Belgium cars rules! 👍

I don't care how much hp it's got.



Cheers,

Started a new thread because I couldn't find anything that dealt with this.
Screenshots clearly state that the Gillet Vertigo Race Car has 910ps.

Is this just a typo? or has anyone driven this car because you should know it has 910ps because it would be very fast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If it is written then its written and it has 910hp...

 

[Buggy Boy]

Found via a link on the official Gillet Vertigo site : the Vertigo race car will also feature in GTR. For the making of GTR, actual telemetric data were used to get realistic car specs. Might be a license issue that the real world Vertigo can't be used in GT4.

No word about GT4 on that website btw.

really?...well i don´t have the game yet just GT4P and in prologue it´s the same as in GT3--->R390 the fastest overall....so you mean it´s been fixed now, that the GT-One IS now faster than the Nissan in GT4?oh man that would be soO nice

well the vertigo can´t have 910 PS in stock form with its V6(believe me, that´s much too unrealistic)so it must be tuned IN THE STOCK FROM but i just don´t know how perhaps it is a Turbo perhaps another power-up(there are many things to give a car MORE PS!)

 

[Dave A]

How is 910Bhp too much for a V6, it's common knowledge F1 cars have done that before, the Suzuki Aerio and Escudo pikes peak cars both have well over 900Bhp and they both have V6's.

The first F1 world champion turbo car (1983's Brabham BMW BT52) ran the FOUR cylinder M12/13 BMW unit, producing in excess of 1,000hp. Two years later Honda were producing 1,070 from their V6, and a year after that Renault were producing over 1400hp from their V6 units.

If 1400hp was possible almost 20 years ago, 910ps definitely does not sound unrealistic.

 

[Buggy Boy]

Off-course, everything is possible, but let's not forget that the Vertigo race car is made with endurance racing in mind. There are also national GT rules to comply with.

From www.gilletvertigo.com (as marked on the front screen of the GT4 car) : click on the image of the race car below right on the screen

The race Vertigo is equiped with the famous athmospheric V6 Afa Romeo engine (2959 cc) of the 166 and GTV.

This 6 cylinders with 24 valves is very popular in competition where the german Tourerwagen Meisterschaft and the Italian Championship.
This engine releases 162 Kw or 220 hp at 6300 tm. But thanks to the judicious tuning of Ellegi Motori in Italy, we can measure some peaks to 385 hp on the test bed in Gembloux.

I have faith in the research of PD

Well simply put, not all of the race cars in GT ar real or are in at their real spec. Remember the JGTC cars in GT4, the GT500 Skylines were 4wd and had 704Bhp, likewise the Vertigo doesn't have 910Bhp in real life, it's not impossible to get 910 Bhp from that engine. All PD have done is create a Gillet Vertigo thats not held to any set of specs any real Vertigo race cars are. Like the JGTC cars in GT2, PD have just bent the rules a little.

 

[Darts]

With two turbos maybe, otherwise, it's just impossible (F1 V10's have 10 cilinders, 3000cm3 and are just shy of the 900 bhp).

f1 cars are already above the 1000 ps in real life

 

[Jetboy.]

Does it still handle as nicely as in GT3?

 

[Taneras]

I didn't find its handling too impressive for GT3, I liked the FTO Race Car better.

 

[Aloha62_2]

debatable, but not for much longer, the power is going to take a hell of a hit next year.

 

[Jetboy.]

With just a little tuning, it was a very impressive and capable car. Even with 745 horsepower in top form (GT3) it completely whipped the competition at the Pro All-Stars.

 

[Dave A]

I had my Vertigo handling like a go-kart in GT3, it was one of the better handling cars in the game.

 

[tigre_hobbes]

Thank you very much PD, the Vertigo is 900ps instead of 400 but the 905LM is 512ps instead of 700. It just sucks!

AH good news, it was very annoying indeed that a R390 which was at less five or ten seconds slower at le mans than the GTone can be faster in the game.

 

[Dave A]

The Bhp on the 905 will go up once you do an oil change or use it like a lot of the cars in GT3 you bought.

 

[Taneras]

Meh maybe I was setting up the vertigo wrong... But I found that the FTO was quicker (at least from my experience). I traded in GT3 a while back at EB games, but I think the FTO had bigger tires which was the cause for the better grip in the corners.

 

[Dave A]

When they were both in stock form, the FTO had far more Bhp and a better power to weight ratio, and it was the same when fully tuned, the FTO was a more powerful machine so although I've never compared times between the two, using them both stock or both fully tuned would probably result in the FTO getting the faster time, but if you get them both to similar power or power to weight levels the Vertigo should come out on top.
