Not to compare, but for whatever reason the side view brought the il-fated Vector to my mind - I liked its looks also.

But I still prefer the forms of the over the top Enzo, especially after seeing one up close at a restaurant near me.
I saw Vector too. After a little digging I found this, which I was unaware of:

MegaTech moved Vector from the Wiegert-owned building in Wilmington, California, to Jacksonville, Florida, where the company could share office space with fellow MegaTech-owned automaker Automobili Lamborghini.
The new Vector Aeromotive Corporation created a car called the Vector M12, which was loosely based on the WX-3 but powered by a version of the Lamborghini Diablo V12 engine. Consequently, some work on the M12 was handled by Lamborghini. This, inevitably, resulted in the American formula being lost.[2]
