Vector W8


There's a school of thought that says America's only proper supercar is the Corvette. However, not only is there the Saleen S7, but in the 1990s there was another contender; the Vector W8. As long ago as 1977 the Vector Aeromotive W2 debuted, its designer Gerry Wiegert being obsessed with aeronautical technology - which is why the car was priced at $450,000 when it finally went on sale in 1991. At the heart of the W8 was a turbocharged 600bhp 6-litre V8, supposedly giving a 200mph top speed. Despite the price tag, 14 were sold before the car was superseded by the WX-3 in 1992 - priced at $765,000.

Speaking of bad designs, didn't the W8 have an awe inspiring 3 speed automatic?
