    Future Gen V pictures ???

    I drew these back in 2004. There are other "concept" drawings in my "gallery" on this site, that were originally done for the New York Region Newsletter - dating back to 1996. Here is what I said back then... "September 2004. The latest concept car to come out of Chrysler was the "ME...

    2012/2013 Viper

    This was a side-view... Here is that pic and the caption that went with it at that time (Sept. 2004). "September 2004. Here is a side view of the 2010 Gen IV Viper "concept sketch" based on the "ME Four-Twelve" design language... I removed the twelve injector stacks under glass on...

    2012/2013 Viper

    I had created a front-engined "concept drawing" years ago. This old image has almost 12,000 views... Here is the pic and the caption that went with it at that time (Sept. 2004). "September 2004. The latest concept car to come out of Chrysler was the "ME Four-Twelve". The "ME" stands...

    The mid-engine Viper that never was...

    I did this midengined Viper sketch in 1998. I thought a Viper should try to win the Le Mans 24hr overall. At that time the top class was known as "GTX". I did a few others after that, and they can be seen in my member gallery, some with comments... Mostly they were done for a low-res VCA...

    The mid-engine Viper that never was...

    This image first appeared in the NY/CT VCA newsletter, in the summer of 1996. Since then it has had an interesting life, often reproduced without any attribution, and once even being mistaken for proof that a mid-engined Viper was being worked on by the factory, - and another time it was...

    Is this the Next Viper???

    Here is a similar "street" mid-engine pic that I created (from my gallery on this site)... Caption: "Here is another midengine SRT. This one was based on a picture I saw on the internet of an SRT convertible sporting a really well designed aftermarket hardtop... "

    Is this the Next Viper???

    It has been a couple of years since I have done some of these. I would like to take a shot at "sketching" the next gen Viper, but aside from the "big hood" facelift prototype spy pics, and a general sense that the Viper will undergo a complete remake sometime around the time the Firepower...

    Is this the Next Viper???

    Here is a better (cleaner) example of this kind of thing (except rear engined to front engined this time - instead of front engined to rear engined)... From my gallery (on this site). Caption from gallery included... September 2004. The latest concept car to come out of Chrysler was...

    Is this the Next Viper???

    I created that image. Check my gallery for more (maybe better) images. Here is the caption that is in the image gallery... "Early 2002. I picked up a low-res picture of the VGX concept car off of the VCA website, and did a quick "photochop" of what a Ford GT fighter Viper might look like, -...

    Gotta love the rumor mill......

    I think the hardest part of this rumor to accept is the *new platform* assertion. The thread topic and the initial post reflect that incredulity - (how impeachable is the All Par source?) - It seems so far-fetched... Why wouldn't they build the "Firepower!" type vehicle off of the current...

    Gotta love the rumor mill......

    Any chance of the rumored Gen 4 Viper 8.4 liter motor being shown at SEMA? The Carbon Concept made its debut there after all... From a historical perspective; I notice that the Gen 1, Gen 2 engine reference terms have been universally applied to the cars themselves. This is a little confusing...

    Gotta love the rumor mill......

    Any buzz surrounding Brian Nielander (ME-412, Firepower!) as doing the design of the 2008 Viper?

    Gotta love the rumor mill......

    OK - It looks like the curent Viper SRT convert and Viper SRT coupe share the bodystyle code "ZB". The Firepower would likely share the "ZC" platform with the Viper on or after 2008?

    Gotta love the rumor mill......

    Right, yes the Firepower had that 6.1 liter 425hp "SRT-8" Hemi, I slipped up. Know anything about that "ZC" code thing?

    Gotta love the rumor mill......

    Next Generation? Are there any next generation sketches out there? Any clues as to what they have in mind - mild facelift, changing out fenders or hoods or something? "ZC" body code? Does anyone know what the "ZC" body code that is mentioned in the Allpar rumor actually mean? What is the body...
