The Dodge Viper has always been the top dog in terms of performance from the Chrysler Group until the introduction of the new Hellcat Charger and Challenger, but if some rumors floating around the Mopar world prove to be true – the next generation Viper could pack a supercharged V10 that will blow away anything that has ever been built by an American automaker.
When the Chrysler Group rolled out the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque – making it considerably more powerful than the V10 tucked under the hood of the current Dodge Viper – many people speculated that the Hellcat Hemi would eventually make its way into the Viper as well. Those hopes were dashed when several Chrysler engineers stated that the Hellcat just wouldn’t fit in the modern Viper engine bay…leaving many to question what the SRT team will do to put the Viper back on the top of the horsepower wars.
