Sexy & mean car pic thread.

1: What is it?
2: Why does it look like a plastic body dropped onto an RC Car...aka, cheap?

 

[stumpydino]

aluminium tube frame with a mid Honda CBR1000 engine or a supercharged Subaru boxer, the body is fibreglass and carbon fibre
and they sure aint cheap i think its awesome

No idea if it's been posted before, but no harm reposting this bit of car porn

 

[exigeracer]

Healthy doses of both sexy and mean.

I have no idea where I should post this pic but "Sexy and Mean" thread would make for a laugh.

I just *expletive deleted* love H vans.

The best rally machine ever! 👍

 

[Stotty]

The best rally car ever...

That S1 is a Pikes Peak car, so not strictly a rally car... unlike this one...

Talk about advanced technology! Even its wheels have wheels!

Also may have posted this one before.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

One of the hottest cars ever! Thanks for posting it. 👍

I don't know why, but this car still makes me nervous and anxious at the same time..

On the subject of Dirt Trial cars (and "mean")

 

[lmracer]

The tires that are on the Escudo in that picture are not capable of handling that car on the tarmac. Especially if the driver puts her on full boil.

 

[Stotty]

Lots of love for the super sweet 911 and the F40... though not sure those wheels are really right for the F40.

I'd feel the same if i was in the presence of the Elephant Man.

 

[Bram Turismo]

What a beautiful machine! 👍

My favourite Wiegert, despite the Supra lamps...

 

[Glanza-V]

Any info on that, never seen a picture of it before :S

It's the WX-8, in development now as the company has changed from "Wiegert" to "Vector Motors".

http://www.vectormotors.com/wx8-specs.html

Will hopefully be available a 10L V8, available with 1850hp(plus) when twin turbocharged, 1450hp with twin superchargers, or a 2000hp+ version of the turbocharged engine which is still in development. 300mph, if done, will blow Bugatti right out of the water.

Edit: The pictures on the website need updating though.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, that will be the coolest car ever, I hope its in a future GT game.

Those are such delusions. For how many decades has the guy been spewing that? Who is funding it?

They must still have SOMETHING left over from Wiegert...

Is a little blind faith too much to ask Ansis?

When this guy was promising this stuff over 10 years ago & never delivered, I'm pretty sure there's little to no faith left in him succeeding this time around.

Man, me to. Seeing this photo makes me feel like... well... it just gives me the feeling that somethin's gonna happen.
+ they could bring back Vector in GT5. "WHENEVER IT COMES OUT?"
