Vector: America's First Supercar

Official summary: Vector: America’s First Supercar is a documentary that tells the fascinating true story of the Vector W8, a radical American supercar built in the late 1980s. The film follows entrepreneur Gerald Wiegert’s bold vision to create a world-class supercar that could rival Ferrari and Lamborghini using aerospace-inspired design and technology. Through rare footage and interviews, the documentary explores the car’s rise, the intense business struggles behind it, and how corporate interference ultimately derailed one of the most ambitious automotive projects in U.S. history.

Gerald reportedly burned through an estimated $30-50 million developing and marketing his dream car but ended up building just a handful of production vehicles. He died broke 2021.
