2013 Dodge Viper is back
 
So what do you guys think? Looks a lot like the Gen IV... but may have upwards of 700bhp. I'm glad Chrysler/Dodge decided to keep it V10 as there were rumors last year that the new Viper could possibly have a turbo V8.

I guess its just SRT Viper now, not being called Dodge.

{Looks like they really went out of the box to redesign it}

^ hahaha

although I've always loved viper's, this was always my dream car growing up always said I would one day buy one :D

Wish their ACR version will be a bit more street and driver friendly.

Meh. I've never fit in them well. They are a beast though!

Those pictures feel like a test mule to me. There might be some hints as to the next-gen front fascia, hence the cover up front, but the back is the same as the previous-gen. I don't think this is anywhere near what the finished product will be, but then again, how much design $$$ does Fiat want to throw towards an anachronistic flagship sportscar?

pretty sure thats just a mule running the new front end to accommodate the engine... i wouldnt expect it to look anything like that at all

:iagree: Yeah, the guys in the Viper forum are saying the same thing.

yea this^ viper's always been kind of a shop within chrysler. i think they've gone completely independent now, or were talking about it. i still think vipers are some of the coolest cars made, a modern classic.

wow, that "new" viper seems suspiciously similar to the old one. and even has the exact same engine. so all they did was just "tune" an extra 100 hp out of it. not really hard to do with 8.4 L of displacement. In fact I'm pretty sure aftermarket upgrades can already do that to the "old" viper

You can definitely see the contour of the new front lip...but for anyone that thinks this is the production version, I feel sorry for you.

Remember this GTR test mule?
