Engine bay comparison

[InjectTheVenom]

I noticed a few similarities between the engine bay of the VM-01 prototype and that of the Gen 5. Some might not entirely see it if at all but the plastic covers on the Gen 5 engine look to be identically positioned.

Going back to the roots with a V8???

I like how the alternator is the focal point on the VM-01...

Sorry for the stupid question but what is the VM-01?

Food for thought for those who think the covers look ugly and out of place Oh, and a worthy contribution for the Viper Myth topic that proves white Vipers really DO have a V8

VM-01 is the first road legal prototype Viper. Ever.

First 'RT/10' if you will without a sports bar, a center gas cap, funky mid-80's Corvette looking blade wheels and of course a V8.

Thanks for sharing. I googled this and also learned that the Gen I engine has Italian blue blood

Yeah Chrysler owned Lamborghini back in the late 80's before Audi bought it. Still some debate as to whether the V10 was intended for an American truck or the Jalpa successor I believe. Maybe it's both?
