Buying a Lamborghini was once a statement of style, self-awareness and a desire to own a car that went against what all the others, mostly driving prancing horses were doing. Since its humble beginnings, not much has really changed with Lamborghini on that front, the brand is still as ambitious as ever to create mobile masterpieces, and cars that defy design conventions to the fullest.

When we hear any 1990s superlative — radical, tubular, bodacious, etc — there’s only one manufacturer that springs to mind: Jerry Wiegert’s ambitious yet short-lived supercar firm, Vector. Like many of the other fledgling supercar companies of the 1990s and 2000s, Wiegert struggled to turn Vector into a profitable company — let’s not forget this was a period of fiscal peril for both Porsche and Lamborghini too — but before Vector finally closed its doors, it created a highly limited and exclusive run of the wildest automobiles to ever hit the road.

It’s difficult to imagine a world where car brands join forces with the aim of helping one sell more vehicles. The automotive world is a tough one, with each manufacturer attempting to outdo their rivals, creating a never-ending race to be the fastest, most fuel efficient, safest or, in some cases, wildest. Sure, we’ve seen cars like the latest generation Toyota GR Supra borrow its main ingredients from the BMW Z4, but if we spin the clocks back 20 years and beyond, it was slightly more common to see two powerhouses come together to create greatness.
