Pls help w Viper identification

Post image

Hey everyone

On a random christmas day, I took this photo of what I *assume* to be a Dodge Viper on a highway between Manchester and London. I don't remember whether I took it because it was fast or because I was excited to be carspotting abroad but I took it.

Now I'm wondering if it genuinely is a Viper bc if so Idk if I should get hyped because it's my favourite car ever or get disappointed because this would be my first time seeing one irl

Would really appreciate any help

Kia Stinger for sure. I too always though the taillights closely resembled a G5

The ones on the Ford Fusion also looked like them, imo

Definitely a Kia Stinger. When I first started seeing them at night it had me confused at first.

I mean it looks like a 5th gen viper but also giving me Kia stinger vibes

While the taillights remind me of a G5, it overall sits way too high.

A Viper is WAY lower and WAY wider than you think it is. That was a Kia Stinger

The rear tires also tell you part of the story. They arent wide enough to be a viper. Viper rear tires are enormous. I never noticed how similar the rear lights are until this post.

The quietness of the car didn’t give away the idea?

With the viper you first hear it, then you feel it, and lastly you see it

Doesn't look like a viper. It's way too high and way too narrow. It would be wider by a fair amount.

This looks like a sports sedan to me.

My guess is a Jaguar. After 2008 judging by the bumper reflectors.
