Vectors are such fascinating cars. The styling is so wild, inside and out, and the story behind them is equally crazy. I've had the luck and pleasure to have seen a W8 in person, as well as a W12 being driven by none other than Jerry Wiegert, although I didn't know it was him at the time.
I'm saddened by his passing. I wish he had succeeded in putting this into production. It shamed Porsches and Corvettes when the first customer model came out. Imagine being a Corvette owner, bragging about your 340hp engine when this thing roars out 700! And if that wasn't enough, they were planning an optional upgrade to boost it past 1,000!

@@Lakros03 just for the history: Production 1989-1993 (22 produced) Model years 1990-1993. 1989: You know.. rumors, press leaks.. Anyway, just many of us in our mind merge the history of cars not exactly in chronological order but in supercars classes-eras. For example, for me: BMW M1, Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari F40, Ford GT, Porsche 911 Carrera turbo etc, Bugatti EB110, Porsche 959, Ferrari 288 GTOetc.. etc.. belong to the fist exotic supercars era.
Extremely cool. I'll never forget getting my issue of Road & Track and reading about this thing: 650hp, 240mph jet fighter. It really created lore and legend.
@@deven6518 Well, I heard that it was originally intended to have two engine options: 700 or 1,000 hp. 700 would be enough for most people! Early prototypes had no mirrors because they were trying to install the world's first onboard view cameras including backup cameras. Makes sense to try that as the view to the rear is blind. If you see pictures of the first fully assembled prototype, notice a tiny 4" TV on an arm between the seats. That was for the backup and side cameras.
PS: forgot to mention: the Vector was intended to be the first car ever with antilock brakes but the technology was so difficult to work with that they gave up waiting for the source to send them the brakes. They did install a damping system where you could adjust the amount of response by turning a dial, just like on modern IMSA race cars.
@@drobson8004 the original w8 was the more powerful at over 1000, or at least so says this old supercars data book I have. Supposedly the M12 happened after the sale

the highly elusive and mystical Vector. wow man Chris, quite the experience and accomplishment, I mean, as special as it is for people to drive, say, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini or the likes of those, but a Vector, that is the pinnacle of rare and exclusive. a Vector makes most of the exotics almost look like your standard run of the mill toyota . amazing !
Wow what an AWESOME video! I've seen Doug's video on this car and read alot about it, but I think this is the best video on RUclips that shows more of it in action. Absolutely LOVE the design and interior of the car especially the HUD showing an overview of the car it's soo cool. Idk what people are complaining about in the comments to me it sounds incredible. I've always wondered though for the very few people that actually own this car how they do any sort of upkeep or maintenance on them when something goes wrong since the company that made them is long long gone lol. Very cool DtRockstar1 thank you and the owner of this unbelievable vehicle for showcasing it to us! 👍
After hearing you talk about this car for years I'm so happy that you are able to drive your dream car. That smile on your face says it all. This makes my so happy. ❤️
Thank you so much!! I was so blown away that the owner offered to let me drive it. I had to pinch myself for a while to make sure I wasn't dreaming. :D
Would it be possible that this particular car has an exhaust leak at one or both ov the headers? It sounds like it has one and a pre-turbo leak with increase spool time and hinder performance in general. And although I was'nt there and am just judging from the vid, but it seems slower than it should be.
I've heard some other people make the same observation about the exhaust, so there is a possibility. Regarding the acceleration, this car definitely has turbo lag. It starts to take off once the turbos have spooled up, but we just wanted to be careful about going to fast. I would love to drive this thing on a long airport runway to see how it accelerates then. And BTW, thank you for keeping your comment civil! It's so sad how many people have to be complete a-holes on the internet with everything they see that is undesirable. Hats off to you!
@@DtRockstar1 People are a-holes just because they're jealous that you're able to drive such an amazing beast like this. I would kill to be in the driver seat of one of those, I don't care if I can only idle around the parking lot!
Well, we'll find out more for sure tomorrow when Doug D posts his driving experience with the red Vector. It's either going to sound the same, or not. I'm not sure where the issue is with this one, but it definitely sounds like a broken vacuum cleaner.
Beautiful car, but it definitely sounds like it has some minor issues. Given it's age, that's understandable, but it would be nice to see the motor freshened up/checked and and also checked for any exhaust leaks and possibly have it checked for boost leaks. Either way, thank you for featuring this car that many have never heard about.
@JMDonis. That's how they sound. I've been in 3 and they all sound like they're churning trash in the back. It may be the dry sump system scavenging oil from the bottom of the pan.
This was my dream car years ago still is today don't care what anyone says this car was ahead of it's time thank you for uploading a high quality video of the Vector W8 in action!
I remember the hype in the car media about the Vector in the mid 1980s. It was portrayed as sort of a Tucker story - an outsider was going to turn the surpercar market on its head with a remarkable car. There was always more hype than reality, so of course when a car was finally produced, it couldn't match the expectations. It was best as a teen postercar.
check turbine high pressure fittings. Check the exhaust manifold gasket. In short, this engine does not run well. You have maximum boost control, but the thrust is really low. Remember that you should have over 600 hp...
Huge Vector fan! Sat in the pp1 in Wilmington 20 years ago... Having such a passionate creator really makes this car stand out! Jerry W got fd so bad... Such bs with these take overs of someone else’s dreams only to develops a pos m12 kitcar.. weigert is the Steve jobs of vector, f megatech! Fargin ice holes! I read his recent article on hagerty chx it out! Such a beautiful masterpiece... can’t wait for this documentary!!!!
I really enjoyed this video I love vectors. What would be really cool is if you could have some background on this particular car and it’s history because they are so rare and there are so few and maybe some interview time with the owner. 👍🏻
Coolest Supercar that time! Was allways a mystery car here in Germany! Lots of rumours and fantasy technical data. Wish I could drive in it some day. Wish that Company was still around. They could develop a new Hypercar like SSC did with the Tuatara! That would be a fantastic Comeback!😉😎
Dry sump alloy block with forged internals, a twin turbo V8 mounted in the back. People even knocking the built 3 speed should know how much insane potential the platform for this car has once refined. Modern engine management and fuel / a supporting fuel system would allow it to hang with supercars of a far more recent era.
Doug was told by the owner that they were having serious issues with the windows so he didn't open them. He obviously didn't want to damage the windows.
People don't know just HOW old this car design was. This thing was a monster in its day. Nothing production was close to it, not the Countach, nothing from Ferrari. It was around in the 70s with minor updates for the W8. I feel like this example of it has some maintenance or mechanical issues, though.
Um, it still is. Name 20 cars that produced 700 hp in STANDARD production straight from the factory. And NO, the souped up Ford Mustang (insert "special" name) does not count. Not many will make this list. Ferrari fanboys keep bragging that the F40 was the most powerful when it first came out in the late 1980s. Um, it didn't even reach 500 hp straight from the factory!
@@largol33t1 Yet 480hp was enough to smash 200mph. More powerful cars are slower now. I'm not belittling the Vector at all, it is one hell of a rare, unique, futuristic car and I would be in for a huge headache if someone told me to choose between for example F40 and Vector.
at the end of 1980, CAR and DRIVER ran a story called..Vector twin turbo W2. that was the original name and concept. to bad this never really caught on. hell of a car.
Hard to believe that this is 35 yr old technology! Jerry Wegiert got it right with his creation, only 18 were ever built! Vector's performance is still awesome by today's standard's!
This and the Countach are probably the most outrageous cars ever built. I would love to see one but it's unlikely I'll get the chance because they are so rare. I imagine keeping one on the road is a real challenge since parts are totally unavailable. Just for the fun and adventure of it if you get the chance to drive a Yugo you just have to do it. Those things are completely unpredictable.
Well, many of the owners are the ORIGINAL owners and refuse to part with the car because they know how rare it is. Also, interestingly, many say although a supercar, it is unusually reliable and has amazing body work, i mean there isn't a single misaligned panel. I remember a car magazine invited to the body shop and the writer said the welders were VERY picky about the quality of the welds. They wanted it absolutely uniform throughout the frame. When they finally got to the exterior panels, the writer couldn't help noticing that everything was perfectly aligned. I mean perfectly.
If I heard that coming down the road I would be expecting a Old motor home, but then seeing that the noise was coming from that would leave my brain at a blank.
Incredibly advanced inside considering its age etc I was shocked to see the amount of digital styling inside. The monitor reminded me of a xt pc. Love it thanks for this video.
To drive this car properly, you need a Member's Only jacket in the trunk, a Don Johnson pastel suit with no socks, Phil Collins on the radio, and a briefcase full of cocaine
Cool car I knew Jerry, he was a local car guy in the Santa Monica Venice area, not sure who tuned the car before the video was shot, but they needed to back the timing off or run a higher octane gas in the car, the car is pinging like crazy under acceleration.
I wander of we race side by side a 1992 Jaguar XJ 220 vs. 1992 Vector W8 vs. 1993 Dodge Viper, who is going to win? Let's assume all 3 supercars are just with factory tuned engines. What do you guys think?
One of the coolest cars ever
I just wanted to say this! 🤤
Yes, ever!
Needs an engine upgrade
Yes indeed.
Yes! Many beautiful supercars were made in 80s!
Thanks for Gran Turismo for introducing this car to me in the late 90's
Was my favorite in the game.

To drive this car properly, you need a Member's Only jacket in the trunk, a Don Johnson pastel suit with no socks, Phil Collins on the radio, and a briefcase full of cocaine
🤣🤣🤣
Cool car I knew Jerry, he was a local car guy in the Santa Monica Venice area, not sure who tuned the car before the video was shot, but they needed to back the timing off or run a higher octane gas in the car, the car is pinging like crazy under acceleration.
How many times did you film it going around that exact same curve? You think we can't tell? Do the work if you're going to make a video.
Such a cool car, was the ride harsh? or was the suspension fairly soft?
Nope, it was very smooth! It also had power steering, something you don't see much in supercars from the era.
I wander of we race side by side a 1992 Jaguar XJ 220 vs. 1992 Vector W8 vs. 1993 Dodge Viper, who is going to win? Let's assume all 3 supercars are just with factory tuned engines. What do you guys think?
