The Viper ACR is 100% street-legal; the tires are Pilot Sport Cups which are DOT-approved and the center part of the splitter is quick-release so it can be removed for the street and installed at the track.

I'm not a fan of the grill on that Lexus, but it's 10x better than the can-opener looking grill on all the latest Acura models.

That said, the viper definitely has more presence than the Vette. You see a Vette ZR1, and you're like "Super car....?"

You see a Viper base model, and it's "SUPER CAR!"

Hahaha, yeah. The "clown shoe".

It called the Lexus LF-LC sport coupe design and will be shown at the 2012 Detroit Auto show starting on Monday!
