Love this car and the W8, timeless designs with out of the box engineering. I remember watching this way back in 1994/95 in think, on the Discovery channel.

Jurgen stole from me. He was supposed to send me scans from his collection in exchange for me scanning my entire collection of Vector literature and sending it to him in Germany on DVD. It cost me out of pocket to do this. I delivered. He kept me on the hook for YEARS, with one excuse after another and never came through. He's a selfish liar and a thief. Be careful Vector fans. You've been warned.

Cute ... but the most beautiful, fastest and an utterly gorgeous -- see Wiki: Sonett V: Design Inspiration for the Vector W2 & Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS & Alfa Romeo Carabo Cues -- Saab or for that matter Sonett, if there ever was such thing. What is weird is that despite Saab Sweden having been reported to have received detailed and multiple image files of that c. 1971 Los Angeles International Show Car Design Winner ... back in c. 1999, they claim no knowledge: SERGIO! In-fighting, legacy robbery

And here we are, beyond the year 2000, talking shit about a car that was futuristic.
I love the Internets.

Crashes at 400 km/h are routine nowadays. Finding the occupants is somewhat trickier.
I think the biggest issue people had with the design was that it lacked cohesion. A Lemans racer has twice the ducts, also all functional, and yet looks sculpted and smooth, almost organic. This was an 80's design take on the 70's "flying wedge" theme that was updated into the 90's. The years were simply too hard on the look. That's not to take away from it's cutting edge tech and build quality, which were superior. But pushbottons and toggle switches in a street car? Really? Way too 70's.

Some of us still love the styling of yesteryear!
I know I do.
As for the push buttons and toggle switches, they were all OFF THE SHELF aerospace components currently in use in many fighter aircraft.
The entire car was conceived, engineered, and constructed to Aerospace Standards. Nothing finer has ever been produced.
Sorry you didn't like it ;-)
