    Vector WX8 2007

    he Vector WX-8 was a sports car prototype manufactured by Vector Motors. It was first unveiled at the 2007 LA Auto Show, revealing the development and the company`s ambitious intentions of creating a next generation sports car successor to their previous models. Vector claimed the WX-8 may achieve a top speed of 270 mph (430 km/h) and a zero-to-60 mph time as low as 2.3 seconds for the version of the car equipped with a 10-liter turbocharged engine. This engine was described variously on the company's website as being capable of "1800+ HP", "1850+ HP", and "over 1250 horsepower".

    The prototype was criticized by automotive journalists for using Toyota Supra Mk IV headlights and resembling a fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro.

    As of August 2018, Vector Motors reportedly was still actively developing the vehicle. It was reported that the company seeks to sell two Vector WX-3 prototypes for US$3.5 million to secure further funding of development operations. Vector's website announced the WX-8 will be equipped with a choice of two potential engines: a 10.0 liter big-block V-8 or an electric/hybrid 7.0 liter small-block V-8.

    Info? There isn't any. Well there is, but it's just a bunch of random numbers so it's irrelevant.

    like the car itself, or its patron, looking at the way he is dressed...

    and the seats you can see trough the windshield in the last pic seem to come from an '80 Cadillac...

    I like the side profile, front looks like a Camaro. Whatever, it isn't too bad.

    I assume those idiots are trying to get the top speed record again.

    And 1. I was going to make the reference if no one had. It's better looking than the old one but still not great. The late 90's Camaro headlights are ok, the profiles nice, but overall it isn't great.

    Let's wait to see what it really can do. The old W8 does 242 mph at Bonneville Salt Flats so 275+ mph in this brand new one shouldn't be a problem. Even if it's pure insane.
