It still has a V10. Soon after you guys wake up, there should be lots of pictures. (The official unveiling is 6:30 PM my time.)

Great styling, and still a V10, hope they sell a lot of them.

It sounds like the price will rise considerably given the focus on a nicer interior.

Reminds me of a TVR, and that's not a compliment.

You can tell Fiat bought out Crylser!
It looks quite good, it's taken one step back to the original viper (More curvy), but at the same time takes on a european edge. It still maintains all the right curves and musclular shape that makes the viper what it is.

Ralph Gilles styled it. He's all-American. I think he just worked on reinterpreting the original coupe (which of course was a copy of a Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe).

Front end looks a bit watered down... can't explain it. Maybe it's the headlights.
Only an 8.4L V10? I was hoping for at least a 15L! |

I can see Ferrari and Maserati in the front end, and the headlights remind me of a Mazda 6!!
Nice looking ride though. |

The Front is very much Corvette too... The vent especially...
 I also saw Ferarri 599 and Maserati GT  Like the fact that the snake is back!! What a powerhouse!!!

After a day to think about it, its excellent! Im glad that the design is more curvy like the original viper, but has some modern euro taste in it.
I'l add it to "the list"

I don't like it. I think the headlights are just so tacky looking. And, it could be the angle of the photos, but the front looks a bit too saggy.

Great to see it back. I think it will look better in a straight viper colour like blue with white gt stripes. Candy red is whats making it look funny... IMO

I love that Chrysler has been all American about this and basically said stuff you world. We'll give ya 4 cylinders and hybrids, and all the econoboxes you like. But the Viper is keeping it's 8.4L displacement... and you can bite me if you don't like that.
The only chrysler I desire. Here are some pointless vids, and racing version pics: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/04/2...racing-w-vide/

 The viper has been dragged into the 21st century looks wise.

Looks great, I'm a massive Viper fan (hence the username haha)...2001 GTS still my dream car. It's sort of like the old shape GTS. Didn't really like the 2003 onwards shape, they looked kinda 'bloated'.

I think 650 hp can make me forgive a lot of sins.

Needs bigger tyres under the rear, haha. Ford need to take a leaf out of Mopar's book.
The front looks very Corvetteish to me. Benny.
