New Dodge SRT Viper Reveal

While we're waiting for SRT to collect 2013 Facebook likes so we can see one more teaser image of the new Viper, the Chrysler Group brand has informed us about the live page on its DriverSRT website, where it will broadcast the reveal from the New York Auto Show on Wednesday, April 4. The web page also includes a picture of the new Viper covered in a white sheet that outlines the shape of the sports car.
Up until now and with the exception of the Hot Wheel die cast model leaks, SRT has only given us vague glimpses of the new Viper, which is expected to continue using its trademark V10 engine, albeit in a more refined form and with the help of stability control system for the first time to keep its tail in order.
More to come over the next few days, so stay tuned.

2013 SRT Viper Hot Wheels Toy Car

As much as the Chrysler Group would like to have kept the next generation of the Viper sports car completely under covers, a series of leaked images from Hot Wheels have afforded us our first view of the SRT branded model well ahead of its world premiere at the New York Auto Show in April. And it’s not only the digital rendering from the 2012 Hot Wheel list, as photos of the actual toy car version of the 2013 SRT Viper also slithered their way into an enthusiast forum.
The styling details and the overall shape of the burgundy colored die-cast car with the black and white racing stripes matches that of the rending, while as a bonus, we also get a gaze at the rear end and the bubble shaped roof.
Granted, Hot Wheel's models aren't exactly accurate replicas but they do provide us with a scaled-down idea of what the real cars they are based on look like.
