3:01 Vector W2 Twin Turbo Vs Lamborghini Countach Vs Ferrari Testa Rossa (Slideshow)

Uploaded on Oct 26, 2010
Every auto enthusiast's dream in the 80's was to have these 3 cars lock horns, & one lucky man had this chance.

The V8 engined W2 Twin Turbo , 20 years advanced in my opinion (5-point seat belts, kevlar (5 years before the F40), heads-up display, navigation system, LCD computer data screens, flush-mounted glasshouse, ABS, 600 hp/ 190+ mph in the day that the countach was proud of 455 hp/ 181 mph, 3-seat configuration, fighter jet buttons, circuit breakers, etc..)

This V8 supercar was facing the V12 Countach (LP500S although the QV was already out) & the flat 12 Testa Rossa. The Testa Rossa, in the tester's opinion won for being the most user-friendly, but even he admitted that the other two were super-exotic.

It's a pity that the W2 never saw production & had to wait 3 additional years until it's revised version, the W8, appeared in 1990. By then, the Diablo had been shown to the world, & the Countach was laid to rest-proudly.

With all due respect to the current supercars, it doesn't come more exotic & crazy than the 80's supercars. The W2, Countach, 288 GTO, Pantera GT5, Aston Martin Bulldog, just to name a few, will always be regarded as some of the most exotic supercars ever to grace the auto world.

Just for grins... watch wear the your seatbelt!

That reminds me that once they asked a formula 1 pilot (I think it was Ricardo Patrese), what was the best memory he had after running in 200 grand prix, and he said that it was driving one of the Renault powered cars, with 1500 cc and turbo, with more than 1200 hp, as it had an impressive power that smashed him to the back of the seat when he accelerated.

Q: How can you tell if a Delorean has been down your road?

A: All the white lines are gone.

Ah the hooligan RS 200!!

I was supprised at how small it was for such a mentally powerfull beast.

And of course the legend that was the Metro 6R4.

Too bad the accident in the Rally of Portugal changed what that car could have been.

I agree ArMaP it was an epic sport rallycross with these little rockets, all that power in such a light chassis.
yes it was the race in your neck of the woods that ultimately put the nail in the coffin for these cars.
here is the wiki
