Vector W8 Twin Turbo

The Vector W8 Twin Turbo reaches 60 mph in 3.68 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.72 s, tripping the lights at 127.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s and the eighth mile in 7.75 s, reaching 100 mph in 7.59 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the W8 Twin Turbo

The 1989 Vector W8 Twin Turbo is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,509 kg with 625 bhp, which works out at 414 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 414 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.04 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 610th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the quickest of the 2 Vectors here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 127.0 mph, the 285th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

How much power does the Vector W8 Twin Turbo have?
625 bhp and 1,509 kg, which is 414 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 350 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Vector W8 Twin Turbo?
Closest here on pace: Dodge Viper SRT-10 612 PS (3.70 s), Marcos TSO GT2 (3.63 s), Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 MK VI facelift (3.73 s). Each one can be raced against the Vector W8 Twin Turbo in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Vector W8 Twin Turbo is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
