I know that Ford marked 2050 as the year where they will fully manufacture electric only. I am not sure about Dodge or Chevy, have to look that up. No idea about European manufacturers, I think Audi had something about it.

    Those sales numbers happened because the heads of Viper at the time made the MONUMENTAL mistake of asking the Vipers Club of America what the new Viper should be... And they went all crazy and demanded it should be just like the old ones, but better. So Fiat... Italians otherwise know very well how to make a sportscar / supercar... They went ahead and made it just a normal Viper. Which obviously failed. Because the previous Viperse were also not selling. They made a car nobody wanted.

    @@nexorabolis Yeah, I have noticed... Back when the Corvette was complete and utter trash, people would start a flagwaving competition and get ultra defensive over it whenever it got criticised for being crap. But now that Corvettes are actually decent cars, people dont feel they need to leap forth, fist in the air, quoting the bible and constitution and defend FREEEEEDOM and the American dreeeeeam over it anymore. I dont know... Maybe people get super defensive over the underdog trying its best. Or maybe because a certain kind of blue-collar workingclass hero status. But as soon as it gets up to 130-140 000, then it looses that appeal. But, yeah. If Fiat was allowed to make the Viper they wanted America to have, then there would still be a Viper today. But it would have a modern engine and not an "Eight lidurh modurh"

    I dreamed of owning a Viper since I saw my first one in 1992 in person at my local Dodge dealer when I was just 13 years old. I promised myself I’d find a way to buy one someday despite not having much growing up, and I let that be a big part of my motivation to achieve success professionally. Almost exactly 20 years later I bought my first Viper, a 2008 convertible in blue w/ silver racing stripes, and it was the most visceral & fun car I’ve ever driven. Owning it has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my life (aside from getting married, having kids, & buying my house… haha). Then a few years later, I bought the ultimate Viper, a 2017 ACR Extreme that was fully custom ordered from Dodge as a 1 of 1 car in a color that nobody else had, and with special options from the factory that you couldn’t get on an ACR otherwise. That car is truly the pinnacle of not only the Viper’s entire production run, but it’s also by far the most exciting, track focused, and extreme car I’ve ever driven period (and I’ve driven the majority of sports cars and supercars on the market from the last decade). I use the 2008 as my Sunday “fun” car to enjoy driving, while the 2017 is the highlight of my collection and makes appearances at a few special car events each year. It’s sad that the Viper was killed off and will likely never be produced again, but it’s also amazing that we had a car such as the Viper created & produced, and that we can still enjoy driving and racing them going forward. And I fully agree with the assessments of each generation of Viper in this video, as they kept getting better with age (at least the engine & performance), with the Gen 5 combining the best of performance, looks, and overall features to be one of the best supercars ever made. 🏎️💨

    The timing of this car's production and the fact that there are very few of them out there ( one of which is in my garage with 138,000 miles on it.) make it incredibly singular and unique. Extraordinary design. Damn near unbeatable in it's final form. Unless Dodge has something absolutely out of this world to offer, I hope Dodge let's the Viper legacy rest. As they said in the vid... Don't be sad that it's no longer being made. Be thankful this car existed at all.

    The second-gen was really something. As a early 90's kid, that was the iconic car; the poster, the 1/18 scale model, to video games. The 4th Gen, even though it scares the shit outta you, show no fear, get that "you can't be weak forever" mindset, and control the beast, like Jerry's expression at 16:00. While your passenger is sweating bullets. I can feel that adrenalin watching this video. The final 5th Gen was definitely a final salute.

    The Viper family will always be my favorite car series. I have posters everywhere in my shop. I do not want one to drive. I know I'm not skilled enough to tame the beast. I just love those cars and what they represent. If I could own one, it would be the 1996 GTS Coupe in Blue. I'd never drive it. I'd just put it in a giant glass box and seal it in. I'd petition to have it cast in resin like the Mercedes G-Wagon and set somewhere for the world to admire when I got old. There are far better cars in the world, but the Vipers will always be special and should be appreciated. The Viper is a tragic loss to the U.S. and to car culture around the globe. Rest In Peace Vipers. You were too good and your time was too brief.

The designers didn't want to accommodate these airbags because they thought it would ruin the lines of the car (the doors would have had to be redesigned to allow for the air bags, and the mechanisms required). Insurance companies didn't want to touch this car with a ten-foot-pool. Fun video, thanks.
