2013 SRT Viper: The Snake Is Back!


Hotwheels puts out a poster every year to detail the new cars from every that will be coming out. They mistakenly revealed the embargoed '13 SRT Viper!!

That's pretty funny, although I'm sure SRT/Dodge/Chrysler don't think so.

Look nice, although it's such a small photo it's kinda hard to make out the details.

Nice find though, Luke

Wow. I'd be so mad with them if I was Chrysler. It's not like this is the dart unveil or something. It's their halo car!

It would be like them doing this with a new Ford GT

Thanks! As soon as I spotted it, I posted it to the blogs and friends in the auto journalism world.

I don't think they'll be too mad. It is very pixelated and anyways, seems to be pretty much what would be expected of the upcoming Viper anyways. Might even serve Dodge well in generating a bit of viral pre-release buzz for it.

Is it just me or does it look more Italian than American on that picture? You can put Ferrari's badge on that car and it would pass easily as Ferrari.

It just doesn't look as aggressive as the original Viper did.

Vipers are like 911s. I can hardly ever see any difference between them. Except a vent here and a scoop there.

Well it would be like altering the 911...
If you're expecting a dramatic exterior change- this isn't the car.
