==In-game Description==
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
Back in the late 1970s Gerald Wiegert had a dream. "I wanted to be a fighter pilot," he told American Automobile Magazine, "but my eyesight's not good enough. So I've decided to build a fighter plane for the street". That street fighter was the original Vector, a mid-engine supercar, built with aerospace technology and with a promised top speed of over 200 mph. Since then the car has been through several incarnations and the company through several owners. But despite many seatbacks it has survived and the car is better than ever. The latest version of the Vector is labelled the M12 after its engine. In place of the original car's twin turbo Corvette V8 engine is a V12 Lamborghini unit mustering 490 BHP at 6.800 rpm and a thundering 425 lb-ft of torque at 5.200 rpm. The mid-mounted engine drives the Vector's rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox that can trace its history back to the Ford GT40. As you'd expect the Vector leaves the line at the speed of a jet fighter. It'll dispatch 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds and punish the standing quarter mile in 12.8 seconds, while the top speed is near-on 200 mph. Even when parked the Vector is an imposing machine. Its 478 cm long and a staggering 200 cm wide, wider even than Lamborghini's Diablo. And don't try to pick one up, despite the hi-tech aerospace technology it weighs a whopping 1.600 kg. The two-seater supercar is a real rarity in its native America with just a handful being built over the years at the firm's Florida factory. Yet it found fame, not only thanks to the posters in many schoolboy bedrooms, but with a starring role in the movie Rising Sun.
