Rare 1993 supercar prototype hits the market

interestingengineering.com

A rare supercar prototype from 1993 is now on the market. The Vector Avtech WX-3 Prototype offers an impressive 1,000 horsepower and can reach speeds of 248 mph. Vector Aeromotive, led by Jerry Wiegart, aimed to compete with established supercar brands in the 1990s. The company used advanced materials and methods borrowed from aerospace technology. They produced about 24 units of their W8 supercar, which attracted famous buyers like tennis star Andre Agassi. The WX-3 was designed as the successor to the W8, but it was never mass-produced. Now, the prototype version is available for sale through Canepa. The company highlights that this unique WX-3 Coupe is a valuable piece for collectors looking to add an American supercar to their collection.
