Is The Dodge Viper Coming Back?

The poor Dodge Viper.  It was brought back to such fanfare and proceeded to slowly get pushed away as the drivers who wanted power saw the Hellcats and Dodge Demon as the new hotness in comparison.  It lead to the Viper once again being put away with no idea of when it would come back to the auto world.  It didn’t take that long it seems as Car and Driver is reporting that the Viper is making a come-back.

The new Viper is coming back but with some changes.  The biggest change that may dampen the excitement of some fans is the lose of the V10.  The new Viper will be powered by an aluminum-block V-8.  The new engine that the Viper will house is predicted to have 550 horsepower with a manual transmission still being offered.  A second engine option, a second-gen Hellcat engine as Car and Driver puts it, would be offered as a supercharged 700-plus-hp variant.

There is no confirmation of this being a thing, but as the article shows, the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January would be the 30th anniversary of the Viper’s concept debut and if Dodge and SRT are going to bring the Viper back, you could not ask for a better time to really take advantage of the nostalgia it would generate.

The Chrysler 200 may have stole the talk of the Detroit Auto Show, but that doesn’t mean that other brands didn’t bring along something to really talk about. Take SRT for example, they’ve been doing well with making sure the word is out on the quality of their new SRT Viper. SRT is spreading the love around and drawing attention to the other vehicles in their line-up with a new announcement at the auto show.

SRT is producing the Satin Vapor Edition models for the Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger. The new models will be concentrating on delivering high quality luxury while maintaining the high quality performance associated with SRT products.
