Old Top Gear 1998 - Vector M12

For 20 years I have been hearing implausible stories about a mythical American supercar with a mid-engine, a tremendously powerful design that was one inch high and had 2-foot wide tires. Guess what, it's not a myth at all and I found out it's called a

vector

. no no, Vectra Vectra is a little rash that appears when you buy a Vauxhall, this is either a

vector

like a teardrop or it turns out the original vector company went out of business as reported by the company, so what you are seeing here is an International Hybrid who rose like the phoenix from the ashes.

The Americans designed it and it is built in Florida, but the chassis was designed by a group of test people linked to X and the engine is Italian, quite a recipe, yes, but then everything was cooked. by a man who learned everything there is to know about quality control at a Bulgarian power plant, this door doesn't fit properly and every time you get close to this vent it falls into the dash and if you look at the headlight assembly it will go like this. My dog ​​did it, of course, none of this really matters. Supercars are supposed to be smug and awkward like supermodels, we don't care because they look like angels and move like rabbits.

I can forgive the vector, it's poor build quality, the electric windows are stupid. and this ridiculous driving position because it looks good, it looks like a vase, the vector may be too big, it's wider than a Diablo and it may be plastic, but it's a complete supercar, difficult to drive, uncomfortable and with nothing to smells like vegetarianism now the factor has no traction control new sequential

gear

box new anti-lock brakes but none of these things scare me what does scare me is the excellent rear visibility to be seen as an ordinary supercar half the state police of Georgia could be chasing me and I would have no idea in this I could see them coming and they will if I put my foot down to find out why there's no point in looking under the hood because the only thing you'll find there is the trunk, This is where the stock is located which may say vector there but I assure you it is a 5.7 liter Lamborghini v12 with a Ford GT40 5 speed

gear

box stuck in the back.

It develops what makes the difference: 500 horsepower, which is equivalent to a maximum speed of 190 miles per year. hour and zero to 60 in four and a half seconds, all of this in a country where you are not even allowed to have an alligator as a pet, so who is going to buy this to find out? I asked the president of the company who liked the car. To be as American as Nelson's Column, our first car was bought by a guy in Las Vegas who tore down one end of his house and parked the car in his living room, rebuilt the house, and we have no warranty issues from him, so , what do we do?

Do you think you have to do to transmit the name of the vector? Well, obviously we have to go into motor racing to make up for the lack of heritage, like Ferrari Lamborghini. I have to go to the motor races and we have to win I love to say that so far the vectors are a little discouraging, there is not enough electric assistance for the steering, it hits and crashes everywhere, its conditioning does not work properly and it absolutely reeks of gasoline here, but that is usually the case. that if you share a secret car on the track, the dog doesn't turn around and turn into a god, nice noise, it's brilliant, I'm not a serious turn, this is nice, you can tell the last few select guys have been fooling around, they replace the The only problem is that to get the best out of it you have to be absolutely brutal just hit the gears, stand on the brake to the steering, it's like fighting a Russian shot putter.

I need to slow down here and get this car running, you see if all goes to plan, it will soon be launched in Britain and will cost, I am led to believe, a hundred thousand pounds, it is now a men's Ferrari 355, so this is it Ferrari, which is nice, I guess if you have giant forearms. Redwoods, the stamina of a gazelle, your own personal race track and a burning desire to be different, you should still have the Ferrari.
