Vector V8 Wiegert Twin Turbo

Anyone heard of this exotic? I played with it in Gran Turismo 2. Nice looking, but it handles like a drunk sailor on a moped.

The Vector W8 (the car you're talking about) was produced between 1990 and 1993. They made 22 of them, including prototypes. It was quite fast but VERY expensive. Some sold new for over $400,000. Today, if you can find one for sale (which isn't really that difficult), they sell for $100-150k.

Just to make it very clear, there was 1 W-2, 2 Pre-Production W-8s, 17 production W-8s, and 2 WX-3s.

My W8 on GT-2 is fully modified and it handles awesome 'cept on TIGHT corners that come out of nowhere then she gets away from me in a spinout. But she don't no time to catch back up and pass. The M-12 on the other hand I don't think has nearly the power or handling potential.

You need to upgrade the part and do custom tuning for it ...about 702BHP MAX

set the front camber angle to 2.5 and rear 1.3~ 1.8
and using super soft racing tyre ... LSD / TCS control etc
I love When this Bady drift !!!
