    never forget when i saw the red W8 in Rising Sun. what a stunner; no other car ever made that looks quite like it

    Cars like this remind us that form and function need to be in harmony. It’s more than just a shell over a frame, it’s how it makes you feel, but if it was all show it wouldn’t be interesting either

  • @caciquedarecibo
    @caciquedarecibo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Fact is this car was way ahead of it's time. Lambos and ferraris were posting 5 sec 0/60, and 13 sec 1/4"miles times. While the vector offered a whole second and 200+ top speed

      Unfortunately I think the personalities of DeLorean and Weigert were similar and they were kind of destined to fail. Gerry did some not so great stuff with funds ear marked for the production of the cars. Hubris can be a cruel thing. I do love stories about automotive failures and the insane personalities that don't know when to stop.
