Vector W8 TwinTurbo Supercar Concept 2006

[McLareN]

Whats amusing about this is the fact that despite the V8 that powers the car, it was named W8.
Why? Because this will be a "new" Vector, in this case, the W8 sucessor.

Thats one weird looking supercar. I guess it looks alright in some ways, but all in all, it's just plain weird.

(I like the stats!)

[McLareN]

I knew you guys woudnt wait. :D

W8 TwinTurbo Supercar #2:

[ScionDriver]

And its just as ugly as the old Vectors.

[McLareN]

W8 TwinTurbo Supercar #3:

[McLareN]

And its just as ugly as the old Vectors.

The older Vectors are way worse IMHO.

[mclaren_crazy]

It reminds me of an old Lambo gone wrong

[Vaigra]

The older Vectors are way worse IMHO.agreed.
Still ugly though.

[NuclearCrap]

Vectors are nice, but I thought they died? :confused:

[PerfAdv]

I prefer the older models. :cool:

[jorismo]

It reminds me of an old Lambo gone wrong

Yeah, were my first thoughts too. It's a different way of styling, in a negative display I think.

[aNOBLEman]

This looks better than the old Vectors but it's still ugly.

[dydzi]

still trying to revive the brand after 30 years

...despite the fact, that they have never really started selling cars :D

[PerfAdv]

Before it looked like a bastardized Countach now it just looks like a SOB!!

EDIT: I couldn't find their website. :confused:

[andy.muc]

"Twin-Turbochargers boost power up to 1200 bhp" @ about 1500 kg?
That are some really scary numbers imo...

[hec16]

I think its a ungly car they grabbed the front part of a murcielago made it ugly and the back part gives me the idea of trans am it plain ugly

[Niko_Fx]

Prius is gonna die...

[Prius]

What did I do?

[Vaigra]

What did I do?you love the old Vectors...He means you'll love this one too

[rev440]

Didnt lambo brake up Vector in 1994?

[rev440]

Vector W8 Old model

Thats the m12

[Vindesh17]

nothing is uglier than the old vector

[Egg Nog]

Of all the brands to reincarnate, Vector?!?! Stupid.

[Lani Kai]

The company name implies that the car will not handle. I am convinced that this is the case.

[90ft]

This is a joke right.
Some student work you've found.

[andy.muc]

Is this a concept or are the specs really gonna be like that?

[RazaBlade]

Looks too busy, styling wise, as every Vector usually was.

Surely these figures must be projected, otherwise what the hell were Bugatti doing for 8 odd years! Just get a 6L V8, only need 2 turbochargers and you get more power than they managed with an 8L W16 with 4 turbos!!!!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

This is what happens when someone gets a 'bright' idea, and will not let it rightfully die.

the life support switch should be flicked on Vector :p

and wow......thats ugly.

[Street_Dreamer]

holy crap, look at the front overhang! it is SCREWED UP

[ZeTurbo]

I actually like it a LOT...from the front wheels back.
The front is just yuk it does not match with the rest of the car and is IMPOSSIBLE with that loo00OOOOng nose.

[Distress]

Is this a concept or are the specs really gonna be like that?

It's Vector, the lied before, so maybe they are again...? :D

[Spastik_Roach]

Air ram?

Did they just copy paste the specs from K.I.T.T or something?!

[FlameRide]

I like alot, you know just by looking at it that it is a vector

[EL Nino]

Nice pics. The rear and the doors are cool!

[MysteriousGT1]

Awesome, i love vectors!

[F1_Master]

The old W8 looked like a Countach gone wrong.
This one looks like someone mutated a Murcielago.
