This is another way supercars get sold:

"special editions"

 

Ferrari is introducing 350 special editions cars.

70 different versions of each model currently in its lineup to celebrate its 70th birthday.

 

Lamborghini is making a special edition Aventador or whatever model it is to commemorate the Miura's anniversary.

 

Ford is introducing special edition GT to commemorate the original GT40 that won Lemans...

 

 

This method eerily reminds me of another tactic...

 

 

Anyhoo, its nice to see that the Viper will go out feeling wanted.
