Under the hood, the Viper will undoubtedly pack the brawn to back up its looks. There are a few potential powerplants, but the most likely candidate is a revised version of the last car’s 8.4-liter V-10, producing upwards of 700 hp and perhaps equipped with Fiat’s MultiAir valve-lift system. Additionally, rumor has it that Dodge could even offer an entry-level Viper with the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 from its SRT8 offerings. The new car might also pack an adaptive sport suspension, and we expect a six-speed manual to again serve as the transmission.

 

Putting a V8 in the Viper is like putting a V6 in a Corvette...

 

honestly it looks the exact same as the 1994 viper.........exactly

 

Retro?

 

I don't think retro counts when you've run the same design for almost 20 years....

 

If it isn't broke don't fix it? Dunno

 

Looks like there's a Fiat triangle hiding underneath that camo on the nose.

 

Could you ever see yourself in one of these Gary? What if it's under $90k?

 

I think my ***** is too big for one of those. But it's just small enough for a GT500. Maybe?

 

Well we know it's small enough for an R. Lol

 

 

Is it really?

 

 

I gotta get me one.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Agreed, using a V8 in a Viper is just wrong Now a V10 hemi would be pretty neat.

 

Did Dodge hire away some Porsche designers?

 

Next-gen Viper may get 8.7-liter V10

Word has it that Chrysler may be planning an increase in displacement for the 2013 Dodge Viper. According to the Dodge-obsessed crew at Allpar, the vehicle's V10 engine may jump from 8.4 liters to 8.7, making it the largest lump Chrysler has ever placed in a passenger car. Allpar doesn't say exactly where the report originates from, though upping the vehicle's displacement certainly fits the brash character of the Viper. We have to wonder what sort of tricks the company will employ to keep fuel consumption and emissions at reasonable levels, however.

The same report also repeats the fact that the vehicle will be manufactured in 2012 as 2013 model. That certainly runs contrary to those whispers we heard about the 2013 Viper receiving a clandestine unveil at a Florida charity event.

8.7? That's awesome. I hope they do it.
