1993 Vector Avtech Wx 3 Prototype Uncrate The follow up was the wx 3, only one of which — this prototype — was built before the company went out of business. powered by a 7.0l twin turbo v8 rated for 1,000 hp, it was claimed to hit a top speed of 248 mph and go from 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds. The single finished prototype is powered by the same twin turbocharged v8 engine as the w8, with an improved flow dual plenum and throttle body intake tract rather than the chevrolet corvette based system used on the w8 production cars.
1993 Vector Avtech Wx 3 Prototype Uncrate Yet despite announcing a $765,000 price tag at geneva in 1993, neither wx 3 model progressed beyond the prototype stage. vector faced a hostile takeover attempt by the indonesian government backed megatech. Unlike many concept and show cars of the 1990s the story of this vector, following its appearance at the 1993 geneva motor show is well documented. due to a takeover of the company the planned production of additional wx 3s would not take place. Sadly, due to the tumultuous series of events that beset vector around this time, the avtech wx 3 would never make it into production, with just a single fully functional example built. Built in 1993 by vector aeromotive, this one of a kind supercar was meant to be the successor to the vector w8, a vehicle that had already gained a cult following for its aerospace inspired.

Regarded as america’s first supercar manufacturer, vector was intent on making the wx 3 its next great supercar. unfortunately, a hostile takeover of the company ensued, and the project got canned. however, this prototype remains. Today, the 1993 vector avtech wx 3 one off prototypes are considered highly valuable pieces of american automotive history, currently listed for sale on hemmings marketplace. Vector envisioned a range of high performance engines for the wx 3, promising outputs from 600 to 1,200 horsepower. this prototype boasted an exclusive, 1,000 horsepower version of the twin turbo v 8, paired with a modified general motors turbo hydramatic 425 transmission. It took wiegert five years to unveil the first prototype, simply referred to as 'the vector', in 1976 at the l.a. auto show.
