The renowned automobile entrepreneur and vehicle
designer Gerald Wiegert announced the introduction of his latest creation
– ultra-super-exotic vehicle trade named HPV for the ‘Vector Avtech WX-8’.
Transverse, Supercharged, all aluminum, 7.0 Liter, port fuel injected, 16 valve high-performance V8 engine, with
dual air to air intercoolers and twin sequential flow, side mounted radiators.
15-inch diameter competition brake rotors with 6 piston calipers provide
phenomenal braking capabilities. 19-inch aluminum racing wheels are
complemented by race engineered tires capable of sustained high speeds.
The all new aerodynamic high down-force WX3 body
incorporates both hard edge and soft design features including: huge integrated
inlet and exhaust ducts for heat exchangers, an extended tail with a high
mounted, low drag symmetrical inverted high down-force airfoil wing spoiler
that enhances high speed stability with aeroflaps.
All jet aircraft type instrumentation panel machined
from billet aluminum. Features include black anodized dash finish, military
specification F- 22 Raptor switches, warning lights and reconfigurable
electroluminescent 4 mode display panel, spacecraft circuit breakers, audible
alarms and warning lights incorporating heads up display interface option.
The Vector’s chassis is a DOT crash tested and road
proven aluminum honeycomb, semi-monoque aerospace engineered structure with a
full chrome-moly race ready roll cage. The Vector’s W8 structure attained the
highest test results of any automotive structure tested by the DOT laboratory,
and was the only auto structure ever to pass front and rear destructive tests
with the same chassis.
The Vector A-WX3 leading edge custom engineered
sound system is powered by a revolutionary new technology incorporating
amplifiers driving the 10 speaker system which consists of subwoofers for
extreme bass output and ribbon tweeters for accurate high end sound resolution.
The amplifiers are less than half the size and weight of equivalent power
units.
