2013 Dodge Viper first pics from Car and Driver???

SIRLOIN · 02-13-2012, 04:12 PM

Is this the 2013 Dodge Viper? If so this is gonna be one badass machine!...

Looks much smaller and lighter by the way...

Platform: Front-engine, rear-drive, extensive use of lightweight materials. Beyond that, who knows?
Powertrain: Speculation raises several possibilities, but the most frequent—and most likely—is a revised version of the 8.4-liter V-10 equipped with Fiat’s Multiair variable intake-valve timing system. Output could be as high as 700 horsepower if Chrysler/Fiat decides to challenge the ZR1 Corvette. If that’s the case, a more modestly priced version may be offered with Chrysler’s 6.4 Hemi V-8. The Viper likely will keep its six-speed manual gearbox.

But I would not be disappointed if that was what the car ended up looking like.

Oh definitely, it is a nice mix of class and aggression.

That's underwhelming.

They are going to go a lot less over the top comic book sports car this time. That is the whole point. The car already proved to have amazing performance, so they are trying a smaller lighter more refined design I'm sure. Erik

I pray that's not it.
