This is the 2013 SRT Viper

[rawk]

I'm honestly really impressed, both exterior and interior look fantastic.. the 3/4 front view gives me some reminders of the RX7. Overall this is going to be a killer car, even the interior looks like a huge leap forward.

[LaFerrari]

Instantly recognizable as a Viper...but I still like this better.

[Knight2000]

I could deal without the LEDs. Copycats piss me off. Aside from that, it looks awesome!

[Chris_V]

I agree. Maybe its just me but I think the exterior looks cheap.

What cheap cars does the exterior look like? 'Cause to me it looks like a Viper, especially like an evolution of the 2nd gen GTS, and that says anything BUT cheap.

I love the interior
HUGE improvement

[Remedy]

This thing is a home run!

[brad@fifteen52]

CTS-V has 6-lug hubs as well.

First gen only.

And Vipers have had 6-lug hubs before...

[Time for a GTI]

6-lug hubs. Because truck parts?

To keep the damned VW kids from putting the wheels on MkIIIs.

[AshyLarry]

The back end view is amazing, wish it was in the original Viper Red color though! Has yet to be a non awesome Viper IMO, love them all....

That makes me so frigging giddy

I'm on the fence about the interior. It does look good. However, the Viper dash was SUPPOSED to be basically just a flat panel to hold the important gauges, surrounded by a modern Cobra bodywork to just barely cover a huge engine, big brakes, and good suspension. The essense of a powerful car, not to be so refined and "normal."

It looks like a nice place to be, but is that really what a Viper/Cobra is all about?



I mean, the Viper was conceived while Lutz was driving in his Cobra replica, asking "why can't we build a car like this again?" Don't know if it should be turned into "just another front engine Italian supercar" i.e. 599 lite.

[brickfrenzy]

Because torque and lateral G.

CTS-V has 6-lug hubs as well.

The second generation CTS-V has 5x120 wheels. The first generation shared its 6 lug wheels with the SRX.

[maskedSONY]

I like a lot of the details on the new Viper. But the headlights---I can't stop looking at them and it's not because they blend so well with the rest of the car.

Care to expand on this at all? I really like every detail on this Viper, and it looks a ton better than the last model (which looked a bit like an S2000).

I remember that the first gen Viper had a hood that was $11K or something. I forgot who it was that told me that, hopefully he's on here still to comment.

[Redapex]

Looks like it actually leaked yesterday via Forza 4.

Looks awesome. One of the best looking modern cars around.

[WakusPakus]

lame.

wannabe aston back end, wannabe rarri front end. the topper: it's a dodge.

[SoCalDubber]

I'm thrilled they kept the V10

[Chris_V]

lame.

wannabe aston back end, wannabe rarri front end. the topper: it's a dodge.

You say all that like it's a bad thing. Have you ever liked Vipers? 'cause there's nothing wrong with them being Dodges.

[Shomegrown]

Koenigsegg called. They want their headlights back.

[Hurt]

Looks like I may end up selling my BOSS after all..

[Shmi]

Can't quite place the reason why but the front end bothers me deeply for some reason. Maybe the smallish headlights. Not quite sure though. Love the rear end, body lines, interior and specs though, looks like a great update.

Maybe it's just the lighting and angle from that first pic. I can't access Flickr at work so I'll have to wait until after work to see the full gallery. Guess I'll reserve my opinion until then.

CTS-V has 6-lug hubs as well.

2011 CTS-V Coupe has five lugs, a friend just bought one. (don't know about sedan of wagon)

Sort of like.

[pueblorrado v3.0]

so long as the interior doesn't smell like the Charger.

[brickfrenzy]

5x120, as I said above. I know from experience.

[IgorRGTI]

I was watching the live reveal, and I love everything about it.

The interior has finally caught up to modern standards along with the features and gadgets. If this came in at maybe $90k, that would be one serious car for not a lot of money.

And if I had $90k, it would be a VERY hard choice between this and the GT-R.

This is probably the best thing about this release. I am a Corvette Racing fan, but it is still good to see another GT car in ALMS.

Let's see; new Viper, new Viper GT car, and potential new Viper DLC for Forza 4? Good day to be a car enthusiast.

[Hogan]

Also, it was built with the help of Maserati, so the European influence is inevitable.

You can definitely tell, I can see a lot of Granturismo in the rear end. And that isn't a bad thing. I'm sorta torn about how they made it more refined, I liked how all the previous Vipers were just ridiculous and borderline unusable. But that being said, I'd probably choose one of these over a Z06, possibly even a ZR1 (...possibly), and I've never been able to say that before.

6-lug hubs. Because truck parts?

Yeah, as others have said, its definitely not new, I'm actually pretty sure Vipers have always had 6-lugs.

[Chris_V]

Yup. at least as long as youve been able to see teh lug nuts:

I am Corvette fan so I will always pick the Corvette over a Viper, but it is nice to see another high end American sports car. I am sure when the C7 comes out, there are going to be some pretty epic battles.

[Shmi]

Another view of the front end makes me redact my thoughts on the look. This gives me a better idea of the front end's depth and looks less goofy to me. Looks excellent!

[mx5er]

Excited about the Viper back in the ALMS The press release said 2012 I'm gonna guess towards the end of the season. Can't wait for it to duke it out with the Corvette. I'm not gonna expect them at Lemans this year. But hopefully in 2013.

[sullie]

Looks stunningly gorgeous!

Oh and even though it's not been mentioned at all this thread at all, I'm pretty certain the 2009+ CTS-V has a 5 lug pattern with a 5x120 offset in both sedan and wagon.

[thetopdog]

lame.

wannabe aston back end, wannabe rarri front end. the topper: it's a dodge.

Why even bother replying to this thread if you're going to judge the car solely based on who makes it?

It was the 1st-Gen CTS-V that had 6-lug wheels

[CK98Beeetle]

The more I look at it the more I feel like a 12 year old wanting a poster of it on my wall. Good job Chrysler.

Also, this is one car I've never cared about performance around a track. Looks badass and goes fast. All you need to know.
