The Vector W8 twin turbo was America's answer to many European supercars and in the early 1990s it was seen as the destroyer of Porsches, Lambots and Ferraris. Due to the extremely expensive materials, only 19 examples were produced, and its price today is an average of 1.2 million dollars.
Vector Vw twin turbo was presented to the public for the first time in 1990, and electrified the world automotive world upon its presentation, as after a long time it represented an equivalent supercar to the European competition, which even surpassed the competition in terms of exclusivity.
The Vector was also an extremely advanced and consequently extremely expensive supercar for those times selling price amounted to 448 thousand dollars at the time, which means that today it would significantly exceed the limit of one million American greens.
It was built in such a way that its lifespan would be as long as possible, preferably longer than the age of its owner, and it was made of futuristic materials for that time, such as carbon fiber and Kevlar, with which most of the manufactured examples still successfully defy rust and corrosion.
Just as technologically advanced was spinning under the hood W8 petrol engine made of aluminum, which with the help of two Garrett turbochargers and system direct fuel injection squeezed out of six liters of volume more than impressive for those times 625 hp. It reached speeds of up to 389 km/h (accomplished by Top Wheels magazine on the dried-up Lake Bonneville salt flats), making it the fastest small-production car in the world for its time.
Due to the enormous production costs, they are produced only 19 examples of this vehicle, and all of them are said to be still in use or as part of some private collection. It rarely happens that an example appears on the market that would be for sale, but when it does happen, prices they tend to whine over a million dollars. One of these (the example in the pictures) will be put up for sale at an auction in Monterey on August 15, but experts are already predicting that this example should reach the record price of any Vector that has ever been sold. So, if you want to have an important piece of automotive history in your garage, which is also much rarer than most Ferraris and Paganis, then book a plane ticket.
