Four very rare American Vector supercars are up for sale (35 photos)

A collection of eight supercars from 1985 to 1996 was put up for auction at RM Sotheby’s. Of these, four are representatives of the American brand Vector, which produced cars for only four years. All of them are different models. According to preliminary estimates by experts, the total cost of these cars alone could be $4.6 million.

Vector was founded by Gerald Wiegert. The cars were conceived as full-fledged competitors to European supercars Ferrari and Lamborghini. The cars were produced from 1989 to 1993. Then several more copies were assembled in the mid-1990s.

During this short period, the company presented quite a lot of models. They did not become famous, but now they are valued for their rarity. Therefore, the appearance of four Vectors at one auction can be called a huge success for collectors.

The 1996 Vector M12 is equipped with a seven-liter V12 from Lamborghini. It can reach 100 km/h in less than five seconds. A total of 17 units were produced, three of which were considered prototypes. A car with a mileage of about 10 thousand kilometers is estimated at 400-600 thousand dollars.

The 1991 Vector W8 Twin Turbo can cost up to a million dollars. Its six-liter supercharged "eight" produces 600 horsepower. The declared maximum speed exceeds 320 km/h. Only 17 cars were made.

The other two supercars are the Avtech WX-3 prototypes, a coupe and a roadster, made in 1993. The open version is equipped with a six-liter aluminum turbo V8 engine with a power of 625 hp. The coupe has a seven-liter unit, developing 1,000 hp. The cars are preliminarily estimated at 1.5 million dollars each.
