The car body was planned using aviation technology. For Vector WX-8, it was assumed that two engines were installed:

• Engine (7.8 l.)

It is referred to as a small block , power of 750 hp. It could also come with a power of 1250 hp. by applying boost to increase power. Power turns are 5700 rpm and 1085 Nm of torque. The maximum speed with such power is theoretically declared in the range from 418 (260 miles at 750 hp) to 443 km / h (275 miles at 1250 hp). The acceleration of 0-100 km / h should be 2.7 s.

• Engine (10 l.)

Referred to as the Big Block , and develops 1,450 hp. when applying double boost. It could also be delivered with a maximum power of 1800–2000 hp. by using the twin turbo system. The maximum speed at such power is theoretically stated at 483 km / h (300 miles). Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h should take 2.3 s. ^[3]
