Default 2013 Dodge Viper Spy Photos - Future Cars

Quote:


Development on the next-generation Dodge Viper is well underway, and our spy photographers have just caught it wearing its new front end. The nose has been slapped on both coupe and convertible versions, which we’ll take as unofficial confirmation that both body styles will live on.

Although the two Viper prototypes wear previous-gen sheetmetal from the A-pillar back, the new nose can be seen peeking from beneath the camouflage. A large crosshair grille will again be the fascia’s signature element, but it’s been updated with Dodge’s latest parallel-bar design (as seen on the 2011 Durango, among others). The headlights appear to be more angular and swept back, disappearing under the camo and flowing farther up the fender than before. Mesh on the hood indicates the reappearance of a center-mounted intake, as well as louvered vents, and another opening appears just ahead of the front doors on the body sides. We’re expecting the Viper to arrive with a fairly menacing countenance, particularly if huge intakes or cutouts appear next to the grille, as seem to be implied under the roadster’s disguise.

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.

Dodge has confirmed that the next-generation Viper will debut in late 2012. That’s a long time to hold us in suspense, but rest assured we’ll have our camera lenses and eyes peeled for more details in the meantime.
