skyliner Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Back in 1972, Gerald Wiegert, a 24 year old designer, presented the very first and ultimate American supersportscar-prototype, called Vector, at the Los Angeles Motorshow. He needed 18 years to get it into production, then called W8-TwinTurbo. in 1990, the first 5 W8 were built, including 2 prototypes.In total, there were only 19 W8 built, between 1990 to 1992. Out of 19 cars, there are 4 cars in Europe. Jerry Wiegert is still trying to get some new Vector supercars on the road. In 2010, Spark-Models made the Vector enthusiasts happy, by selling models in 1:43. This is my Technic Lego version of the Vector W8 a follow up to the Lamborghini Countach Approx 1500 parts. Front steering, front / rear low suspension, opening scissor doors / engine hatch. V8 Chrome engine. Thanks for looking. skyliner Edited April 18, 2011 by skyliner Quote
efferman Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Congratulation, you have hit the shape of the Vector in a perfect way. Quote
DLuders Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 You did a great job capturing the essence of this supercar! The 1992 Vector W2 originally sold for a whopping $455,000. It's powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 that produces 625hp and 650 ft-lb of torque. Quote
grohl Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Your MOC is absolutely stunning. Why does the yellow in the pictures look so unnatural? Too much gamma correction or brightness? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 This is a fantastic creation! It looks just like the real car and is highly detailed! Very cool job! Quote
skyliner Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Your MOC is absolutely stunning. Why does the yellow in the pictures look so unnatural? Too much gamma correction or brightness? Yes indeed too much brightness, my photo skills are not brilliant. I needed high brightness for the background to appear pure white. Quote
grohl Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Add some saturation to the colours. This took me 2 seconds and it looks a bit better. Quote
skyliner Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 I have revised the car design, and taken a modular approach, with easy fit together modules. I will produce some step by step instructions based around the modules. 1: Main Chassis 2: Rear Axle 3: Front Axle + Steering 4: Engine 5: Seats + Dashboard 6: Side bodywork 7: Roof 8: Rear Body work 9: Front body work 10: Doors The car is on auction: auction link skyliner Quote
