The Aspid GT-21 Invictus is a sportscar from Spanish automotive manufacturer Aspid,[1] creators of the 2008 IFR Aspid.[2] Like their previous model, the GT-21 as an open-wheel car.

It is powered by a BMW 4.4-litre V8 engine producing 450 horsepower. The output is directed to the rear wheels via either a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission or a six-speed manual.[3] Because the vehicle weighs less than, thanks to the use of composites and aluminum, along with other technologies borrowed from the aerospace industry,[4] the 0- time is under 3 seconds and it can reach a top speed of 187mi/h.[5] Aspid promises superior cornering abilities for the GT-21 Invictus, with a maximum lateral grip of up to 1.5 G.

The occupancy space allows for seats to be rearranged to accommodate two backseat passengers. Its boot-size of 275 liters allows the Aspid GT-21 Invictus to be used for short trips and getaways during the weekend. Customers purchasing the Invictus model have the option to collaborate with the brand's engineers to personalize the vehicle’s electronics and design. There is also an option to pick up the car right from the factory, where they can get a book that shows how the GT-21 Invictus was built, signed by the assembly team.

Aspid planned to produce 250 models a year but it's unclear if any were actually produced.
