The Viper is Back

There's not much and everything to say about the new Viper. It has cues that evoke thoughts and feelings about the first Viper, with smoother surfaces, similar lines, and some of the bulbous awkwardness, too. But at the same time, it has the size, the low-slung ferocity, and the don't tread on me stance that all Vipers have had, particularly the last generation, which ended in the 2010 model year.

Speaking at the release of the new Viper, SRT head Ralph Gilles said of the development process, "It's like being pregnant for almost 24 months."

Now, with an insane 640 horsepower rating from its 8.4-liter V-10 engine, the Viper builds on that history with an all-new theme: adding in luxury, comfort, and control.
