In 1971 Gerald Wiegert founded a design house called Vehicle Design Force. Vector Aeromotive began in 1989 and ceased in 1993. Mr. Wiegert's plan for the Vector supercar was to feature various power plant options. Preproduction literature indicated it would cost $10,000.
The Vector W8 is an American supercar built to compete with Ferrari and coupled to a modified General Motors transmission. At the time of a Car and Driver test, they obtained a 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds, a 12-second quarter-mile, and claimed a top speed of 218 miles per hour. The sleek Kevlar body offers a low 42-inch profile and it weighs 3,570 pounds. The hand-built car was offered with a base price of $483,000 when introduced.
This Vector W8 was on display at the Singapore Motor Show for Vector Aeromotive in 1992 and it is the only California Emissions legal car produced.
