Jerry Wiegert, founder of American supercar builder Vector, has died. He was 76 years old. Wiegert passed on Jan. 15 in Los Angeles, his publicist, Katana Alexander, confirmed to Motor Authority . Founded by industry veteran Gerald Wiegert in Wilmington, California, this company, through the production of its Vector W8 Twin Turbo, would make its entrance into the automotive establishment with a manner which would be fittingly described as "shock and awe". The Vector W8 wasn't the first supercar that was American-made, and it is far from the last. Regardless, it is still a car most people wouldn't recognize it. It isn't quite as iconic as the Dodge Viper, but that might be part of the charm of the vehicle. Even upon first glance, you can tell that the Vector W8 is something different, and While just 22 examples of the Vector W8 and 17 units of the Vector M12 were produced from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, the small American automaker is still talked about today. ベクターW8 生産台数わずか18台のアメリカ産スーパーカー mikichan1984 17K subscribers Subscribe 13K views 8 years ago まるで戦闘機! ! 生産台数わずか19台のアメリカ産スーパーカー『 Vector (ベクター) W8 』です。 more more The W8's base price rose to $450,000 by 1992 after building 23 cars.
