Yeah, it's actually an exact copy of the Alfa Car with a Viper front end some how etched in there and Ferrari 458 headlights. Completely unoriginal. But I'm sure the Euro groupies will love it.

I don't much care for the Viper, never have...but always appreciated it's rawness.
The last thing I would want is TC, etc. in a car like that.
As for owners crashing a lot while just driving down the road...sounds like they were not worthy? They could always switch to something more fitting, and pink...or learn to drive for real.
I could see maybe a version with a big, bright switch on the dash to turn off all the electro-nannies, with a display above it "Normal" for everything turned off and "Wuss!!" for TC, etc. engaged.

Don't believe everything you hear (see)
Nope.
Think more SRT-ish. Think more matte colours. Think more pissed off raw American, not spiffy Italia regalia. Just wait till you see it.

Best looking Viper is still the initial prototype that paced the Indy 500.
Everyone knew the hood would have to change, way too expensive to integrate the headlight like that.
Too bad they couldn't figure out how to make the mirrors work, it's been a while since I've seen this exact car but IIRC the windshield was rather low, too low for production I suppose.
The long tube header poking out of the side (cannot see in this photo) was a nice muscle car touch.
EDIT - you can see the headers in this shot:

Looks Korean trying to be Japanese who were trying to be Italian. Fugly. Not related to a Viper in any way and won't be the car for sale.

M758 a part if me agrees but another part if me kind of likes new direction... I think Viper loyalist are not going to like it... I like what the Devon GTX looks like more.. Same platform.. Just my 2cents...
