The First American Supercar... Vector W-8 V8 Twin Turbo

looks like the dash it out of a early 90's buick

 

Nice looking engine but ugly car imo.

 

Yeah, the W-8 wasn't my idea of sexy either. Then they came out with the M12 and, although that was an improvement, it still wasn't a beauty queen. Now they have the WX8 with Supra headlights and what almost look like FTO tail lights. And I read somewhere (can't remember where exactly) that the engine block might be from the Diablo SV. The WX8 looks pretty cool, but I don't know what they were thinking using foreign car parts. Kind takes away from whole "American Supercar" thing.

 

i only know about it because of gran turismo =P

is that engine transversely mounted? =/

 

Uhhhmmm. how do you shift? I don't even see a lever for an auto trans unless its on the floor between the drivers seat and door.

 

same here.

 

3-speed auto column shift.

 

From what I overheard, the shifter is near the door sill to the left of the driver. 3 Speed Automatic... Sounds very space age huh

 

when did that come out?

 

i dont know what year that one is but i do know Vector has been around awhile. when i was a kid i had a book on supercars and the Vector was a car in there.
