$1,000,000 Vector W8 Twin Turbo
After our afternoon snack at Fulfilled, we decided to browse the fancy stores on Rodeo Drive a little. All the cars parked on the streets were either BMW or Mercedes Benz. Then this car caught my eyes!
At first I thought this must be a prop car from a movie or something. It was probably just parked there for show.
But it has a license plate. Also when I looked in from the window, there were lots of “personal belongings” in the car.
This is actually somebody’s car!
We had no idea what kind of car it is. But it said “Vector W8 Twin Turbo” on the side of the car. So I googled it….
And found a video about the car.
Also found the official Vector Motors Corporation website.
The car was produced between 1989 to 1993. Original price $455,000. If you have $1,000,000 right now, you can own one, too!

Looks like it is a display car. It doesn’t even have the license plate bracket on it- and it doesn’t look like the police gave the car a ticket so probably it is.

Wow!
I spent my entire youth wanting one of these! It was the second-to-top card in my ‘Fast Cars’ Top Trumps game! It came behind the Ferrari Testerosa, because it was something ridiculous like .001 of a second slower from 0-60mph… Ahhh!
If I had a million bucks, I know what I’d be doing right now!
Not buying one of these, sadly – but if I had 10 million, I might buy one, if only to see how many people stand around it taking photos!
But hell, imagine if it got scratched!!
Lovely pics anyway!
Take it easy bro!

That is an incredible car. I am fortunate enough to say that I know “Jerry” who is the creator of the Vector…What a Brilliant Man. If you think these are beautiful you should see the 2 prototype Vector’s that Jerry has, They are Gorgeous!!!! One is a convertible.
Jerry is looking at bringing back the Vector and is looking for investors. I have seen the prototype and has a lot of potential. I would like to see his product come back out in to the world.
He could very well build the next Supercar that would beat the SSC Ultimate Aero (what an incredible Supercar, American Made, Fastest production car out there faster than the Bugatti. Priced at $650,000) and the Bugatti, Great Supercar Priced at $1.3 Million (personally I think over priced). They both are Great Supercars and I have been fortunate enough to have seen and driven both.
The new Vector will have over 1200 HP and will be priced under $600,000
I personally own a Ferrari and a Lambo in fact that is how I met Jerry at a car show and then we became friends.
Yes those are real cars and not a prop. Never give up on your Dreams if you work hard enough and stay focused you will achieve them!
