The Vector W8 Is the Craziest Supercar Ever Made

    This supercar is one of the rarest ones with only 20 units ever being produced. I have to say this older supercar has the lowest profile in any cars that I have ever seen. I was surprised to see Doug able to get himself into it. I am most impressed by the "Boost" button and there is a min-max knob to adjust the amount of boost (like overclocking the CPU) . I am not sure about the layout of certain things inside the car such as the gear and parking break levers. The panel displays are aviation styled (almost like a computer flight stimulator), besides the main screen on the display, there are three more screens which you can select via the buttons above the gear lever on the left of the driver seat next to the car door. There are way too many buttons on the panel , as Doug says , the designer is trying to mimmick the layout of an aircraft panel , instead of using multi-function buttons , each button is allocated a single function. The car designer made an attempt to have more storage than most supercars , one in the front covered by a flimsy-looking panel and one at the back behind the engine. The narrow slitted back window of the car does limit the back view of the driver (dangerous in my opinion) . The location of the pedals (break and accelerator) are just too close to the passenger side , accidents are waiting to happen. The front turn signals are not too visible worsened by the fact that this car has a very low profile. Having mentioned all these negatives , I am still impressed with the design of the car with features ahead of the time (1989-1993 ?) , it has a CD changer (when CDs were still popular), heated seats (the seats can also be "blown up" with touch of a button) to give more support. The locations of the seats are adjustable via levers (as Doug says , the manufacturer "cheaped" out on that one). I am not a devoted fan of cars but I am impressed with Doug's enthusiasm.

 

The Pagani Huayra Roadster Is an Insane $3 Million Supercar

I am not a car enthusiast but occasioanlly I like to check out things that I CAN'T afford , like this $3 millions USD Pagani Huayra ; also I do enjoy Doug DeMuro's review , full of enthusiasm , and most of the time I agree with his evaluation scores.

    This car definitely shows craftmanship but there are many impractical designs like the glove compartment (the car manual leather pouch occupies it completely) and eye-shaped rear view mirrors which define the width of the car, they extend beyond the side exterior of this expensive monster, so as Doug mentions, for narrower streets or driveway, one might have to "swing" the mirrors back to within the perimeter of the car; then one has to adjust the mirrors again when they are needed for proper rear viewing , cumbersome and impractical! In order to acess the engine at the back of the car,  one has to unfasten leather straps (both driver and passenger sides of the car). This car includes a lot of leather bags here and there but impractical for grocery shopping , etc. I guess if one can afford a car like this, they can have someone else doing the grocery!

    As Doug mentions , the car has a lot of "ovals" , oval mirrors , oval buttons , etc and the "roadster" label appears almost everywhere inside and outside of the car. The colour scheme looks like a Black Widow (Latrodectus) .

    This is a convertible, so the roof can be removed but where does one put it? Leave it at home? What happens when one needs it on the road unexpectedly?

    I enjoy the craftmanship but I would probably be very nervous (like Doug says) driving this , a scratch can be a $80,000 USD gigantic mistake or declare bankruptcy if one crashes it!  Honestly, I would rather save $3 millions for future medical expenses!
