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

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.

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...
 
i am not sure about the front end. I agree on the interior.. WAY better.
 
Maybe it will grow on me over time, but my first reaction was "meh". It is undeniably a Viper though.
 
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.

rear end and profile look fantastic. Front end looks a little busy/ferrariesque but still far from bad.
 
I like that they went back to GTS style. I love the shape of the hood / roof one of the better looking Vipers.

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:
 
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.
