Real Front of 2013 Viper - See photo

Note center air intake and the cooling vents adjacent to same on each side. Also note changed cross hair grille. This is one of the photos from the Inside Line piece. Another seems to show that the headlights are part LED and appear to be larger. It would also appear that the Gen IV frame will continue to be used based on the new front fitting. albeit a bit awkwardly, on this car. The new front does seem a bit wider as the Inside Line article notes.

That is going to extremely difficult to wax and polish. Also that surface can't possibly very aerodynamic. Does it come in any different colors, red might hide the patchwork appearance.

Not sold on the honeycomb grill .... but maybe that was added to temporarily distract :dunno:

If nothing else, I hope the 2013 comes with a much nicer car cover

Simms · Aug 14, 2011

I can't wait to see the entire car. I hope I am wrong, but I'm not sure I'll be into the honey comb behind the cross hair.

Since the car is not finsihed yet... I would hope they would engineer something better than the side sills from the previous generations. I think there was a thread something like... what would you want in the new Viper... I will have to find it and post my issues with the side sills.

Alot more pics on Autoblog

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/14/next-gen-dodge-viper-test-mule-packs-a-new-front-end/

Anyone that saw the Gen V last year does it look like this front end?

I actually kinda disappointed with the headlights, they look like they got bigger and more "corvette-ish" but then again Im looking at it with alot of camouflage.

It looks like what I remember from SLC but the headlights appear to be the old GEN III/IV's just covered up by the camo. I remember the headlights being completely different.

The hood reminds me of the diamon back hood once available for the GenII's, aggressive. It like it.

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

I think thats just a new style of car Bra..

Looks like a mule to me

DaDood · Aug 14, 2011

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

Definitely a mule. My guess would be testing either front end aerodynamics on the air intake or new engine.

kcobean · Aug 14, 2011

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

Well that front end looks......familiar.

cubican · Aug 14, 2011

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

Finally !!! gettin some real pics, it is a mule but the front grill and head light are from the new car. Look at the door seam the hole front end has a diferent shape. look how long the head lights are and it has a grill .

AbsolutHank · Aug 14, 2011

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

That's alot of hood room for a TT 4 cyl

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

Already posted in General Viper. Moderator should merge the two threads.

viper k · Aug 14, 2011

looks like a rice burner?

ulllose · Aug 14, 2011

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

That hood intake in the center looks huge and in the shape of a "V"....pretty cool

georgethedog · Aug 14, 2011

I really can't tell much from the picture... They need to remove the tarp and then we could comment... :lmao:

ACR steve · Aug 14, 2011

Re: Dodge Viper SPY PICS maybe..?

Looks like heat testing of the motor. Look at the hood you can see hood pins to allow engineers easier access

C.Hermsen · Aug 14, 2011

My wife saw that picture, laughed and said it looks just like a Corvette. Hate to say it, but she's not wrong...let's hope it looks better un-camoflauged.

Bobpantax · Aug 15, 2011

Look closely at the length and size of the air vents on each side of the intake and the size and shape of the intake. Then look at the grille again. The shape is quite interesting. Also note the area where the fog lamps usually are. It is also interesting. The lights are not Gen IV lights. If you have a Gen III or IV go out and look at your front lights then take another look at these. These are different in shape and with respect to the internal components. This front end looks nothing like a Vette.

06blueviper · Aug 15, 2011

Any chance that we will see the final product at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January?

Camfab · Aug 15, 2011

The front grill looks similar to the world challenge version of the comp coupe. I think it's probably just a fake front end............did I say I've always hated the way comp coupes look. They remind me of an ugly Japanese car, namely the Toyota Supra. I'll be quiet now, and wait for the final product.

ViperArry · Aug 15, 2011

I'm curious if anyone is up to make some sketches on those spy-shots to uncover some lines.......

AFL in NJ · Aug 15, 2011

It is a test mule wearing as many GEN IV parts as possible. The headlights and vents you'll like a lot, the spy shots don't do the GEN V justice.

Aaron
