1/18 1991 Vector W8 Twin Turbo black by Ricko (2003)

The Vector W8 is an American supercar produced from 1990 to 1993. It was manufactured by Vector Aeromotive Corporation, and was designed by Gerald Wiegert and David Kostka. The company utilized the newest and most advanced aerospace materials in building the W8s, which they said justified applying to the car the term "Aeromotive Engineering." Just 19 W8s were produced (17 customer cars and two pre-production cars, the prototype W2, and the two prototypes Avtech AWX3 and AWX3R, each with a mock up of a 7.0 liter DOHC TT engine).
The engine had twin intercooled turbochargers, and produced an advertised 650 bhp (485 kW) at 5700 rpm and 649 lb·ft (880 N·m) of torque on 8 lbs of boost. Boost levels were driver adjustable between 8 and 14 lbs and during dyno testing at the factory the engine put out 1200 bhp at 14 lbs of boost. 
The W8 had an estimated top speed of over 220 mph (354 km/h), with an acceleration of 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. However, in testing at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the W-2 prototype reached 242 mph (389 km/h) with the less powerful Donovan block, as reported by Top Wheels magazine.
