This insane mid-engined beast pumps out 625 hp and 630 lb-ft through the rear wheels

The seller has been driving this Vector W8 since 1999. Power comes from a 6.0-liter Rodeck V8 with two Garrett turbochargers Bidding on the car has already hit $400,000 A 1990 Vector W8 Twin Turbo, one of just 17 examples ever produced, is looking for a new home and is generating quite a lot of buzz in an online auction. Vector was founded in Wilmington, California, with the mission to build supercars that could rival the best of Ferrari and Lamborghini.

It was kept in Switzerland for a few years before joining the Saudi Prince’s car collection in Los Angeles. The current seller purchased the car back in 1999 and estimates he has driven it 1,700 miles because the odometer doesn’t work. Power comes from a 6.0-liter Rodeck V8 with forged aluminum pistons, a forged crankshaft, Carrillo connecting rods, and a pair of Garrett H3 turbochargers with air-to-air aluminum intercoolers.
