No, it will not achieve this speed. Over the year, Vector had produced many fantastic concepts and production supercars. All of them look like they're ready to take off and fly (some of the coolest cars on the road), but all have failed to meet their performance expectations. Why is that? It's because Vector does not have the money, the time, the manpower, or the expertise to pull off a quality supercar. Most of their cars have been plagued by reliability issues (they are prone to catching fire) and their cheap components cause frequent failures of the gearbox, etc. Vector is a powerful example of how NOT to build a supercar and how NOT to run a supercar company (they have been hopelessly in debt and unable to meet production goals of their past projects). I love their designs and I admire their ambition, but their actual products will always be much better on paper than on the road...

For those of you who wonder if a car can ever really reach 270 mph, see my posts in the forum of the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, the world's fastest car and another small volume supercar that claims 270+ mph performance.

what the f???
(Driving the T1) OH MY GOD!! GOD ALMIGHTY!! You can forget Enzos! You can forget Koenigseggs! This is in a different league! This is accelerating like I have never experienced! And the braking! You wouldn't stop faster if you drove into a tree!!

 "These lists sort the top supercars by specific performance metrics."

What specific performance metrics indicate the Vector has trounced the SSC? The SSC's performance has been verified. The Vector's performance has apparantly not been verified. Supercars.net, follow your own guidelines.

 you know, this car, in production form, wont have 700 hp, but (for real)

1850 hp!!!
1994 Dauer 962LeMans: 700bhp, 0-60:2.6 seconds, top speed: 251 mph, number produced: 12. Now tell me: how could the Mclaren F1 have possibly been the world's fastest production car during the 90s?
