In 1989, Wiegert's company, now known as the Vector Aeromotive Corporation, began production of the W8 (an evolution of the W2). Financial backing came from public stock offerings and various lawsuits including suits against the Goodyear Tire Company (trademark infringement with the Vector brand of tires) and Vantage cigarettes.The W8 was basically a reengineered W2, of which 2 prototypes were made (only one running). One particular black W8 was sold to famous tennis player Andre Agassi. Since Vectors were hand built, it took time to build one, but Agassi demanded that the company deliver his W8 regardless
