The 1990s-era supercar you didn't know existed is up for sale on the online auction site now.
With the V-12 heart of a Diablo and wild styling, the Vector M12 is the 1990s supercar you never knew existed, and it's up for auction on Bring a Trailer until April 22.It was born from the ashes of the wild Vector W8; of 14 production M12s built, perhaps only a dozen remain.This example was reviewed when new by Top Gear. And yes, those signal lights are borrowed off an original Mazda Miata.
Unfortunately, like Icarus, Vector flew too close to the sun and fell to earth. The story is complex, but a combination of some well-publicized teething issues and a hostile takeover attempt by a primary shareholder called Megatech resulted in Wiegert losing control of his company. He later sued to get his designs and copyrights back.In the meantime, Megatech hired U.K. designer Peter Stevens to rework the W8's styling and went looking for a production-ready powertrain.
