Why We Picked It:

An auto industry veteran, Gerald Wiegert partnered with Hollywood movie expert Lee Brown and created the 'Vector Aeromotive Company.'

Wiegert built his prototype in 1978, the Vector W2, which was finally perfected into a definitive production model, the Vector W8 Twin Turbo.

The most advanced technologies and the most avant-garde materials of the time were used in the design of the Vector W8. Components from the aerospace industry, such as carbon fiber, Kevlar, or fiberglass, reinforced its structural rigidity.

A heavily modified, transversely mounted 6.0-liter Corvette V8 engine with twin turbochargers produces 625 horsepower and 649 lb-ft of torque to power the Vector W8.

The Vector W8, despite being designed to compete with Lamborghini supercars, was a failure due to negative publicity and its exorbitant price.
