Vector?

I'm not thinking Vector.... The fenders seem wrong.
Maybe it was a prototype photo? It is similar to the W8. (linked image)

Detail sheet HERE

Not really a sports car, more of a sledgehammer. 600-1100hp and almost 3600lbs, with two big guys that'd be 4000lbs.

But I'm sure it was really fast.

Isn't that from some early eighties movie... "Zero" or something?

I thought of the Vector as well. Also agree that a few cars have drawn upon styling cues....however, there were many wedge shaped prototypes over the years.

When I asked the question I placed the word "car" in quotes. I was using the word loosely as it was a kit car and not a production auto. It was deliberately developed as a copy of the Carabo.

BTW, Gerry Wiegart(sp) originally intended the Vector to use a 911-6 to power the car. IMO, one of the most interesting autos in recent history.

In anticipation of the 200th page of this thread I did a google search on "Porsche + 200" and I came up with this random article:

California Highway Patrol Orders 200 Porsche Boxsters

The California Highway Patrol is weaning itself off its fleet of now-discontinued Chevrolet Camaro pursuit cars, switching to new Porsche 987 Boxsters. As a spokesman for the CHP bizarrely put it, “The Camaros were at the end of their useful life, and were never able to be used fully given that CHP officers are prohibited from wearing mullets while on duty.” (Apparently, droll humor isn’t unlearned during baton-fighting exersizes.) An initial order for 200 Porsche Boxsters will be fulfilled by the end of 2005, with the majority of units being placed in service in high-enforcement areas, like Irwindale. (PS: Check out those Brembos! These guys mean business.) [Update: Man, we’re dumb. We so wanted to believe that this was true, that we got burned. Apparently Mr. Nowwegotcha has a better sense of humor than we thought. The mullet joke was too good to be true. Yeesch. The photo is of the CHP’s show car, likely taken at the 2005 Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance.]

Isn't this the car from "Black Moon Rising"? Tommy Lee Jones movie from the late 70's. Linda Hamilton was in that movie with him, IIRC.

Came across this at a motorcycle show in Monterey the weekend of the MotoGP race there. From a local sheriff's community outreach program, and they sponsor some track days.
