at Munch...If you guys are ever interested in learning anything about Vector, the guy who got the company funded (and who currently owns the white car in the pictures above) is an alumnus of my college(the pictures are actually taken during a car show I helped put together on campus) and an acquaintance of mine. Great guy. He also has a 500+ hp Porsche Turbo.
The Vectors were supposed to be aircraft inspired designs. The M12, in particular, was designed by Vector, but used Lamborghini engines.
i love the design
Yup...aircraft style cockpit, literally.

'American Supercar' may not be an oxymoron for much longer. Until now the only car that could claim such a mantle was the Vector. The story of the Vector is somewhat of a soap opera with the company changing hands on a number of occasions and never really settling down to produce many cars (only 22 by 1993).
The cars they did produce, although small in number were a real contrast to normal American road fodder. Ideas hatched in the early seventies came to fruition in the 1980's with variations including the 625bhp twin turbo V8 'W8' model, the 7 litre WX3 concept and finally the Lamborghini V12 powered W12. The company ceased trading again in July 1999, just as it hoped to produce the SVR8, another V8 based car.. July 2000 saw a Miami businessman attempt to revive the company once again and restart production in Miami.

Some local guy (black british dude) had a 96 red Vector M12........I remember he once drove through the mall in it (during Christmas time) and the thing literally stopped everyone in their tracks....like a UFO had landed in front of them.
