Top 15 Supercars On American Roads

15. Vector W8

Vector W8 is an extremely rare American supercar. Only 22 of them were produced, using the latest and most advanced aerospace materials/ The production lasted from 1990 to 1993. The semi-aluminum epoxy-bonded chassis used thousands of aircraft rivets in assembly. The body was mostly lightweight carbon fiber. Power from a rear-mounted, modified Chevrolet eight-cylinder, 5,700-cc, 650-horsepower racing engine drove the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.

Vector Aeromotive claimed the top speed of over 220 mph and the acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Road & Track magazine published reviews of W8 performance in March 1991 and August 1992 and declared that Vector W8 was the fastest production car in the world at the time.
