'''''Viper''''' is a live-action science fiction TV series that was created by [[The Rocketeer (film)|Paul De Meo]] and [[The Sentinel (TV series)|Danny Bilson]] and aired from 1994 to 1999. The show revolves around a modified Dodge Viper that can transform into the Defender, [[Cool Car|an armored supercar]] designed for catching the most dangerous criminals. The first season aired as an NBC exclusive from January to April 1994 and disappeared from the network after completing its first run. The show came back for a syndicated second season in the fall of 1996. It retained this format up through its concluding fourth season.
Season 1 takes place [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|in the near future]], where the fictitious Metro City is being overrun by a [[The Mafia|mafia]]-like organization of [[cyberpunk]] thieves called the Outfit. The only thing that ''should'' be standing in their way is the Viper, but one thing is stopping the project from coming to fruition: The car is so powerful and requires such quick reflexes to control that every commissioned police driver to date has failed their field test. With funding running out and no hope of success remaining, the program is on the verge of cancellation.

Think of it as a '90s version of ''[[Knight Rider]]''.
