Could this be the reborn of Vector? Although it is just a "digital” model it might be the return of the American supercars.

Vector started its activity in 1972. Initially it was located in California and then was moved to Florida. It is the first American attempt to compete with European exotics supercars like Lamborghini, Ferrari or Lotus.

The company was closed at the beginning of the ’90s, but now it is back in business.

Vector V8 Biturbo Concept is a computer rendering and there are hopes that the Americas will built it and they will reborn the American supercars.

looks to me that it has a bit of a countach look + DB7 rear

I remember having a poster of a Silver Vector W2 on my bedroom wall when I was in junior high. There was a red one in the movie "Rising Sun" that gets crashed. They are very low and exotic looking cars but were extremely expensive and unreliable. The interior looked like a jet liner with all the buttons and screens. It would be interesting to see them get back into the market

Looks a lot like a Gallardo from the front and side. The Lambo doors are cool, I have no idea why the Gallardo doesn't have them

Oh man, I had that same poster

But yeah, it'd be interesting to see Vector get back into the supercar running.

I've always liked the vector.. I remember seeing a pic of that car in the Mid 90's and thought it looked better than the Lambo.. hope it comes back..

It will probably only take them another 10 years to bring it to market.

I don't know why they're bothering.

Welcome back Vector.

They might have a chance in hell. Seeing it seems Saleen doing pretty well with the S7
