The article may call it a Speedster, but that is actually a Spyder, one of the first couple of 550s that had a hard-top on it and ran at Le Mans. The Speedster proper was a later model, a bare-bones 356 convertible (rear engined, the 550 had the engine in the middle like any proper race car) that looked like an upside-down bathtub.


...Heh, this is the first mention of the Vector I've seen. I'm a little surprised that it's the first. They had (maybe still have?) the Vector hanging up in the San Jose Tech Museum. Some friends of mine built the Vector....
