looks like a prototype or concept. if the next viper had a similar body to this one, would you buy it?

Looks like a Lotus with a crosshair grill.

Lotuses are cool, but they and Vipers have very different segments of the population to which they appeal.

Called the Dodge Circut. This was an all electric car and was touted by the auto mags as a possible replacement when all the CAFE MPG standards where passed.

Well I guess that explains the grill. I was getting annoyed for a second that somebody would copy our front end like that. Thanks for that Bob!

No
........

<--The only proper response;)

agdetail, your bringing up a dodge electric concepet vehicle from several years ago and trying to relate it to a Viper? ...Really?
Type "Dodge EV" into google if you want to learn more about the car you posted a pic of:2tu:

Copy our front end? Most dodge vehicles have a crosshair grille. This is not a Viper trait, its a Dodge trait.

Do you think that Lotus fans are annoyed that we made a Dodge based off of their elise?

Saw it at the Denver Autoshow 3 or 4 years ago. Why are people digging up such old info these days? Looked like a great car when comapring it side by side to a Prius. If I was looking for n all electric, it would be the one to have. Thankfully I am not!

I don't think that color's helping either, maybe if it was a b/w viper color it would be a lil' more desirable. It's not bad looking, just nothing that really gets your attention! jmo

Ooops! Dom, I wasn't very clear... When I said "our" I meant Dodge not Viper. I've owned several Caravans and also Intrepids with the crosshair grill :) I know the history of how the viper inspired signature spinoff designs as it became a flagship.:2tu:
Oh well, all this technology and i still can't communicate very well.:rolleyes:

I know I'm going to get a lot of sh@t but I like it! I think it would give Tesla a good run for its money. It is based on a Europa and has 268 hp/480-ld-ft vs the Europa's 197 hp/200-lb-ft and only weights 200 pounds more. I would buy it for a daily driver, build the crap out of my Elise for track use, and keep sunny day driving the Viper (it's a vert, non ACR).
