After Nissan announced in May of this year that its 480-horsepower, all-wheel-drive GT-R lapped Germany’s infamous 20.8-km (12.9 miles) Nurburgring Nordschleife in a time of 7:29, Viper people became restless.

We know what you’re thinking, because we’re in the same lamentable position ourselves: you’d totally order up that uber-exclusive Hermes edition Veyron, but you’re not a big fan of the brown and tan paint scheme.
