I'm really looking forward to that episode, here's an amazing snapshot from the video which was posted on Jay Leno's Garage Facebook:
I'm hoping they have a proper picture of that as a wallpaper, as it's my favorite yet.
Shame it won't come in RHD, Ralph said that they will need to sell at least 500 of them in RHD before it comes financially viable. I don't think it worked out too well last time they tried RHD in Australia back in 2002 as they didn't sell all of the allocated cars.
There is a chance it could be...
This is what I think the issue is. The SRT guys could have easily got 700HP out of the engine I believe, Ralph even mentioned that they couldn't increase the power because of the F12. They also need a supercharged variant to keep up with the high HP competition.
I've got a feeling that Fiat has struck a deal with the BBC to be kind to the Viper this time.
They are already close partners, and since Fiat has invested a lot of money into this new Viper it's really important.
Looks like they'll be taking 1 car each? Quite impressed a Viper is able to be on the same class as an LFA (although it is faster around the track :) )
Damn struggling to find one for less than $70 shipped to Australia.
Might just wait for the AutoArt ones as they are usually sold locally, that or the rare find at my local supermarket like the Viper GTS-R was :P
It seems for once Top Gear has something positive to say about the Viper.
They actually gave it a surprisingly good review:

I personally love all the videos on Jay Lenos Garage, there is just something about them. This is no exception.
I don't know how the LFA Nürburgring Edition (hell even the standard LFA) counts for a "production car" for the Nürburgring lap times. I think this version will take the record lap time, here's hoping SRT can get back there ASAP to claim it.
Try living in Australia and being obsessed with the Viper.
I think there are only 80 in Australia, with a lot of them being collector only cars that aren't driven. I've never seen one on the roads and the only time I've seen one in person is when I went to the RHD Conversion place. It's...
I hate how the media trashes American cars. I'm not even from America yet out of all countries the American ones are my favorite for some reason. I just love the Viper, GT and Corvette.
Popular shows such as Top Gear do the worst IMO, as people actually take everything they say as fact...
I love the look of the car. It's kind of taken the Viper truly out of the muscle car status and into the supercar status IMO (not that the older Vipers weren't supercar material).
Anyway it's 3am here in Melbourne, Australia. I'm only going to get 2 hours sleep thanks to the Viper :P
Goodnight all
I was walking around my apartment trying to see where the weird beeping noise was coming from. Only to realise it was the SRT page :P
1.17am here in Australia. I have work today, but will be staying up all night :)
I quite like the design. Doesn't look as classic / muscle car as the GTS but I can see where SRT was going to tone down the car to appeal to more buyers.
The car also reminds me of the Fisker Karma slightly...
