The Vector was the first American supercar
I agree, that perhaps a different sub-forum should've been chosen
actually, just the opposite; i've never seen a lamborghini that was as well constructed as the vector.... I'll go a step further, and say that I've never seen any car that is as well constructed as the Vector W8 (not the M12)...
design... well, that is in the eye of the beholder.
people often ask "is that some kind of Lamborghini?"
to which the owner responds "no, its faster then a Lamborghini"
It is true that Weigart needed money, and it took over 10 years for him to gather enogh to go from W-2 prototype to W8 production car.
Even today, it is still faster then 99% of the cars out there, and when it came out, only the EB110, Jag XJ220, and McLaren F1 could come close in terms of accelleration.
The Vector was a model for show at an auto show in 1977, and the prototype W2 was begun in 1978.
actually, it wasn't just boasting that it had fighter-plane tech... everything was built to aircraft specification, and tolerances.
the Vector is deisned to last the lifetime of the owner, with minimal maintanence costs...
It's truly a facinating car
