A true supercar that handily bests Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini at their own game, this 1991 Vector W8 Twin Turbo has a projected max speed of 242 mph. With less than 2,300 miles on its odometer from its only owner, the car includes the original purchase documentation ensuring its authenticity as 1 of just 17 models ever manufactured. Designed of aerospace-grade materials, there is ample carbon fiber, fiberglass and Kevlar incorporated throughout. The Vector W8 is powered by a 6.0-liter V8 engine that takes flies from 0 to 60 in just 4.2 seconds. With a quarter-mile time of 12 seconds, it’s clear that Vector was up to the challenge set by its competitors.
Sotheby’s now puts this 1991 Vector W8 Twin Turbo on the auction block. This car is number 009 from the model’s lone production run. The cockpit mirrors that of an airplane complete with a Hobbs hours counter, Airpath compass, numerous other instruments, and a digital computer screen. Recaro Classic racing seats, a Sony stereo with a 10-disc CD changer and a cassette player, and a removable moonroof with its own protective case are just a few of the other notable features.
