Rinspeed Viper Veleno
 
Just came across this car today, and damn was i stunned by its brightness :P
I know most of your will probly bitch about the color scheme, but I personally think is pretty cool 8)

i'm not a fan of the RT/10's though, I'd prefer if they'd modify the GTS...
Engine specs:
Nitrous assisted V10
550bhp
605 lb-ft of torque

Ouch! I think I feel my retinas burning. Those numbers really aren't that impressive for a tuned viper, though.

the exterior is alright, the color is definitly an attention getter but that interior.....i couldnt look at that shit all day while im driving. :wink: and i dont like that quasi-spoiler thing behind the driver.

ya i know, but its not turbo-charged so i didn't expect huge numbers from it.
still has 100bhp more than stock, and about 115lb-ft more torque, so thats not exactly bad.
The real performers are the Hennessey Venoms, especially the 1000TT :shock:

Thta green will get you noticed at least :)

sentra_dude 07-29-2004 12:07 PM

What's up with the steering wheel?

blah 07-29-2004 03:09 PM

the 1000TT vipers blow, they have all that horsepower yet still arent that fast for their numbers. ill take a LPE 427 TT anyday.

jpatino03 07-29-2004 03:33 PM

Those are pretty good Non-FI numbers, but still, its an 8.0 liter V10 for god's sake, it should be able to make LOTS more power.

And a lot worse.

Just visit any Viper forum and search for Hennessey/dishonesty/cheat/steal/lie/defraud

And then read what the Viper community has to say about that crook.

They're not unimpressive numbers actually. The Veleno was based on the original RT/10 (I believe the 1992 or 93 model year to be precise), and if you recall, it put out a measly 400bhp from it's monstrous 8.0L truck engine. Extracting another 150bhp and 205 lb-ft of torque over stock isn't all bad.

the color is photoshopped by the way... they overlayed yellow/green. Hope the real one isnt so fluo.

Vansquish 08-02-2004 09:52 PM

The first three pictures are not photoshopped, it really did look like that.

crazidude 08-03-2004 07:34 PM

My eyes are hurting.. and whats with the steering wheel?

FordGTGuy 08-03-2004 08:10 PM
