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
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
Once saw 3 on the same day in Furnace Creek in Death Valley - 1992 if memory serves.... Vector we’re conducting high temperature tests prior to cars being shipped to the Middle East...
Oh man I loved that game! I got so good at it that me and my friends would end up having fist fights because I wouldn't let them win lol Kinda like the on side kick from Joe Montana football
This was my dream car when i was in highschool. I was almost as obsessed with it as I was with Jenny. The only thing i miss about the 80s is being young.
Thanks for posting this forgotten brand. Again like your epic intro, and the the synthwave song at 8:55 is just cool. For chillout music, you can check out my channel.
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.
It certianly looked like a good car in the flesh and on paper... but have you heard the engine? Ithas a rattly metalic sound rather than a nice grunt like the lambos for example
Very interesting, thank you for the content! But please don’t do this fancy-super-alternative-teenager VHS filter. It sucks. Sure it gives a nostalgic feeling but it put down the quality. Keep it up dude!
Cool. But is it just me or dose this video look like it was made to have 1980's 3D effects 🤔 because you can clearly see red & bluish green lines like they did 3D in the 80's
It is quite possibly the ugliest vehicle ever, the desperately American Lamborghini Frankenstein Countach on steroids wanna be. The look at me I can beat the Italians with this American made Ultra Bad ass Exotic. Am glad it failed massively.
never forget when i saw the red W8 in Rising Sun. what a stunner; no other car ever made that looks quite like it
Alfa guy, your channel is awesome. You deserve a lot more views, for sure. Greetings from Paraguay!
this synthwave vhs track is cool
Totally 😊
But what is it called?
I love when someone or something takes me back to the 80's.
Guys, just skip to 8:55 ... This is where it's all at!
The vectors cyberpunk dashboard has always made my pants feel funny. XD
The part of your intro where the faded music steps out and the CGT blasts into the screen always gets me pumped for some reason
Next to the Lamborghini Countach the Vector is one impressive car I remember falling in love 😍 with it.
I always loved the W-2 prototype, without the ground effects, I thought it was really cool looking.
Awesome content!!!! as always.
Cheers my friend and blessings from Serbia.
I love how much the Vector W2+W8 both look like something from Blade Runner or Total Recall (the original)

many cool images from 80s include vector cars, really cool
This is now one of my favorite channels on YT.

So sweet. I remember back in the day. Thanks for the video.. 🍺
I really missed Gran Turismo 2
You know. its possible to emulate it on pc even in 4k. Its amazing
Oh man I loved that game! I got so good at it that me and my friends would end up having fist fights because I wouldn't let them win lol Kinda like the on side kick from Joe Montana football
The intro music tells you a little about the era these were produced in
I considered the W8 the first hyper car considering the contemporaries.
Also welcome back alfa!

Jenny who?
Still the best looking car ever.
The Vector was use in a scene from the 1993 Sean Connery movie Rising Sun.
Hell yeah thanks great video bro

Vector W2 and W8: an American answer to the Lamborghini Countach
I wanna go back to the 80's 😪
this is the first time I almost reached for the tracking knobs while watching a youtube video. immersive af
The name of the song at the end?
Turbo bubble gum anyone? Early 90s. Very early.
I think, an Error in the Elektronic of the Dashboard i a nightmare...
Back To The Future
What if a vector w2 or a vector w8 would look like as a Time Machine?
R.I.P. Jerry.
I looks like the same car, "pink pather" enters after after the every episode
I heard the electrical system was designed by some aerospace engineers and thats why the dash looks like it was lifted from an 80s US jetfighter
it was directly from a f16 according to the founder... never gonna hate on somebody dream, its a fukin crazy cool car, and americans should be proud.
13:40 - What's the name of the song?

ευχαριστώ!
thank you brother
Also also do you think you could do a video on Strosek someday?
Could you imagine something like this in today’s tech age?
the story of "the story of the vector"
You deserve way more subscribers for your contant :-) but why have you started a second Alfa Guy channel? The first one was already grate
RIP Gerry Wiegert :-(
I heard Andre Agassi had a W8 in the 1990's!🤟
Only for a few days.
and he blew it up!
You have to follow them dreams. You’ll hit it you’ll fail. All that matters here, is you gave it hell.
Amazingly Beautiful Car' though just like the Delorean' the Were Pushed Out of The Sand Box' 😶?

Do Zender
The scarface of exotic cars.
That would be De Lorean...

Please do a video about the story mine's

Keep it up dude!
Yeah you are right I used to the VHS filter to much
Jehle Saphier?! 🙂
I came for the music
Know the name?
The way the developer of Vector Supercars designed the way they positioned the motor in the engine bay is atrocious and laughable today.
Dr Disrespect should get Vector W8
Cool. But is it just me or dose this video look like it was made to have 1980's 3D effects 🤔 because you can clearly see red & bluish green lines like they did 3D in the 80's
A reliable Lambroghini :D
And it was made here in america I still think that it is an amazing looking car from the 90's here in 2019 would love to see one in person
Replicate its body with carbon or fiber glass then drop a LS6 or LS7 on it , then add a turbo on it
All i want now is to find a countach and a kilo of coke.
What an ignorant comment.
Should be back
