I agree it might be, if it is, it's a damn good job.

Looks like a Photoshop to me. What's interesting is that parts of the '99 Charger concept and the mid '90's Venom concept are visible in that photo.

Am I the only one who doesn't really like it? Sure it's exotic.......but does it look good? Maybe it needs to grow on me?

photoshoped. Look at the lighting on the hood and the way the stripes don't line up. It's too euro. I don't care for it.

I believe that is the same photoshop from many years ago when the SRT concept first came out. It was suppose to depict a mid-engine Viper, which not too many people were crazy about.

Is that a <font color="green">GREEN</font> Viper in the upper right hand corner???

No, it's the Venom, which was a concept that debuted in the mid to late '90s and was based off the Neon platform.

Definitely looks like a photchop and I agree, it looks like an F430//Elise/Viper combo.

How the heck are they going to fit a V10 under that hood. There's no room from what I see. Unless of course, it's a mid-engine layout. Now that would be Euro. But I would buy it in a heartbeat.

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, - hidden away in the secret Dodge skunkwerks garage... "

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...

30fe4-12-2-med.jpg


September 2004. The latest concept car to come out of Chrysler was the "ME Four-Twelve". The "ME" stands for Mid-Engine, and the "Four-Twelve" stands for Four turbochargers and Twelve cylinders... It makes an outrageous 850hp and it cuts the eye with its equally outrageous forward-thinking edgy design.
Perhaps - this is the new design language of the factory styling studio... Perhaps - this hard sculpted design is a hint at the direction of the next Viper.
The Gen IV Viper, by my guess, would be shown around 2010, pretty far off... Perhaps 850hp would seem "just right" for the Viper, perhaps a "non-retro" design would be desirable to set the Viper apart from its "competitors" at that time...
Anyway, here is my "concept sketch" of just what a 2010 Viper might look like if we follow the lead of the ME Four-Twelve..
