Vector return with 1850bhp Hypercar! In theory...

14.12.2007
Now, here's a name from the past. Vector, which has never quite been able to crack the supercar market, is back for another go. And this time it's serious (or at least it says it is).

Vector founder and current CEO Gerald Wiegert recently unveiled the company's most extreme car yet, the HPRV, which stands for "Hyper-Performance Road Vehicle".

On its apparently straight-faced website, Vector says it is planning to take on the Bugatti Veyron with the ultimate version of the HPRV, powered by a 10-litre twin-supercharged V8 that produces up to 1850bhp and 1700lb ft of torque.

Naturally the claimed performance figures are equally extraordinary. Top speed is said to be over 275mph, with a standing quarter in 10sec flat (at a terminal speed of 160mph) and a 0-60mph time of 2.5sec.

The price for all this performance? Around $400,000. For more entertainment check out Vector's website, www.vectormotors.com

I really really doubt if it will ever be released. The prototype looks cheap. A single nob on Veyron's dash costs more than the whole development of that weird looking prototype. I wonder how reliable it will be at 1800 hp. And how will it behave on road. Is is planned to be awd or rwd?

labeeshment 16.12.2007
they probably call it "hyper"car because it will only appear in hypertext...just as the previous vector from early 90's is a matter of search "engines" performance! and my opinion is that 90's design was genuine and impressive, this prototype looks no more than "cheap"!

Anonymous 16.12.2007
WTF is that? another ultimate Aero with million hp and zero appeal.

Anonymous 17.12.2007
so...I'm the only oen that likes it?

FastestLaps 18.12.2007
I hope you are not the only person interested in it because then they (Vector Motors) will surely fail again.

Anonymous 18.12.2007
the fact is, the Veyron is a luxury car. it's a car for old men who waunt to flaunt their money. i see no passion or flair in it's design.... It's like they said "lets take an old man's car, and throw a giant engine in" that's why i hate the Veyron. and why i rather like this.

No-Anonymous 18.12.2007
Veyron, you say, is old man's car. But how about others? What, do you think, is a "Young man's car"? 400k USD Vector hypercar? Tell me how long it takes for average person living in average economical and political scenario to earn enough money legally to make 400k waste for that toy? All the expensive stuff is more or less for old and middle aged men. Young men's car is 10 years old "hot hatch" for couple hundred dollars.....

"Tell me how long it takes for average person living in average economical and political scenario to earn enough money legally to make 400k waste for that toy?" Ok, by the same logic, how much longer would it take to earn enough to aquire the Veyron? To save up over a million US would take a lifetime for an average bloke, so reaching 400K US comes sooner, hence its a younger man's car! (HEh heh, I'm just throwing around some ideas for fun, no harm intended!) :D

Anonymous 04.02.2008
It'll have to be awd and weigh no less than 3000lbs, or itll be another uncontrollable beast. the numbers are almost as crazy as the 1000+hp twin turbo flat twelve porsche they built in the sixties, the series number escapes me,and that was hard for the pros to control! other than these little complaints, i like it and hope it does come to fruition.

rice 25.04.2008
is it just me or does anyone else thinks cars are gettin to be a lil tooo powerful?

PhantomPorsche 26.04.2008
I think your right but 220 mph would be great with great handling thats all I need 1850 too much.

rice 26.04.2008
yeah i dont mind if a car goes 220 but i think that atleast right know a cars hp should be limited to about 1005 or atleast to 1200 ie ssc..lol but only for a couple of years than they should raise it because 1850...thats unheard of im mean damn...lol im happy givin this car 750.

Anonymous 28.04.2008
has this turned into the pipe and slippers page? how can any power be too much? admittedly, we can't do 275mph legally, but wouldn't it be nice to get to 60 in under 2 seconds?

Anonymous 12.05.2008
im happy with gettin to 60 in 4 secs and i agree with rice an pp cars these days ARE gettin too be a bit too powerful pretty soon 1/4 times wont be here itll be 2 miles in 4 damn seconds..lol this car would be fine with 625 bhp in ma opinion..
