That was the development Viper Mclaren used do develop the 2008 Viper. It is a one of a kind Viper and was raffled to Viper Club of America owners. 2500 tickets sold for $100. I didn't win.

There is rumor the intake will be available in the aftermarket.

MP had an GTS-R intake somewhat similar to that a few years back. I remember selling one I think the retail was like $12k.

That model has a special blow back system that redirects trapped water out into the air upon start up.

How much was the original weight? How much carbon fiber did they use? If it only shed 85 lbs off, then the original design was pretty efficient.
the car is fiberglass.
