Some of you might remember the Vector W2 from back in the late 80's and early 90's. It looks like the company is trying to make a comeback. And take a shot at the Bugatti Veyron.
Supercharged 10 Liter V-8 with a claimed 1850hp and 275mph top speed.

The Achilles heel of the original was its automatic transmission from GM. Hopefully they've upgraded that. I think they'll need a DSG style transmission in that high end market at this point.
They're also facing more competition this time around, even from other domestics, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT and Saleen S7. Of course you have the Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg, Ferrari FFX, Lamborghini Reventon, plus a few others that I can't think of right now. It seems like a crowded market for $500k to $1M range.
