In the 1980s, Jaguar owner Gerald Wiegert claimed his Vector W8 could run flat out at 242 mph
68% Informative
Gerald Wiegert claimed his Vector W8 could run flat out at 242 mph - the fastest of any production car at the time.
But on closer scrutiny, it seems the W8 's claims were a tad optimistic.
Calling a production vehicle a supercar is a marketing exercise, with no objective parameters available.
The Vector W8 was conceived in the late 1970s and engineered in the 1980s .
It took Wiegert a decade to start production only in 1989 , and only 17 models were built.
The W8 's price started at a promised $ 225,000 claim, but when it went on sale, it was an absurdly high $ 420,000 .
