2013 SRT Viper released

Very much a throwback to the original Viper design. I'm interested to see how an American OEM handles carbon fiber

I was just about to post this.

I'm not sure about the exterior. The interior looks 100x's better than the past Vipers.

I like it. They took what looked like a kit car (previous Vipers) and made a production car. It's not my favorite design, but much improved.

Nice! Like.

Isn't the Corvette ZR-1 made mostly of Carbon Fiber?


I like it though! Wonder what it's Nürburgring time is going to be...

Good show. I was nervous they would mess it up, but it looks great.

 

[Keahistight]

Looks freaking awesome. With this, the toyota/subaru RWD cars and the new NSX coming out I am actually excited again.

 

[Jamolah]

It looks very similar to the F12:

 

[condumbwerkz]

I like the fact that they didn't do anything drastic about the body and lines. Looks good to me

 

[Kitaka]

Much improved on the interior... but still too cheap looking with all that plastic

 

[NetViper]

i am not sure about the front end. I agree on the interior.. WAY better.

 

[PHOEN$X]

Maybe it will grow on me over time, but my first reaction was "meh". It is undeniably a Viper though.

 

[Caustic]

Hello interior! But did they have to put that dull grey/silver plastic on the steering wheel and base of the shifter? It looks so cheap and ruins the rest of the interior. Would it have cost that much to make it brushed aluminum or something? Jeez.

Overall I really like it though. Much improved look but very much a Viper.

I agree...

They should have removed Carbon Fiber from the rear window ducts...and used that money for increased PQ in the interior.

They should have referenced the MK6 GTI interior. Similar use of Silver accents, but super nice quality.

Looks good to me!

rear end and profile look fantastic. Front end looks a little busy/ferrariesque but still far from bad.

 

[DRIFTER]

I like that they went back to GTS style. I love the shape of the hood / roof one of the better looking Vipers.

Dodge: You're doing it right.

I've been seeing couple vipers this week around my neighborhood and thought the design is quite original and unique. Not bad looking IMO.

Love the front and styling cues back to the gen2 gts. The gen2 97 blue/white gts I owned was my favorite viper but Ill def be taking a look at this new one. Good to see the viper around again :smile:

That is one sexy looking car. I want one.

 

[sca037]

Looks fantastic, especially the interior.

Check out the racing version that will be running in the ALMS later this season;

Not a fan really. Am I the only one that sees this as a bit of laziness? Looks like they took the body of a viper a few generations ago and add a body kit. Not innovative IMO but the interior looks much better and I bet it flies. Interested to see the performance specs.
