Bob Lutz (founding father of the viper) and Henrik Fisker (creator of the Fisker karma) join forces to make a new luxury American car company "VLF Automotive". This is the VLF Force 1, basically a rebodied Dodge Viper with the same 8.4l V10 pushing 745hp, an extra 100hp more than the viper. I prefer the vipers styling over this, but still appreciate this design. I can see a lil viper in some angles. There have been rumors that Dodge will end production of the viper soon, so this may carry on the vipers legacy!

that car is gorgeous I think I like it better than the viper .
 
Thats frigin fugly...Mopar/fiat ain't made a goog looking car in 40+ years:violent1::violent1::violent1::violent1::violent1:
 
My wife and I bought a new Dodge Viper in 06 and have really driven it, now have over 75k on Viper Red Black Top. 50 miles before the extended warranty ended (70k) there was a noise in the engine so we took it to the dealer DCH Dodge in Temecula. Long story short they drove the car for about a week went over the warranty the 70k and the motor blew (crank). Dodge and DCH stepped up and put a new motor in along with throwing in a new clutch....WOW...still looks like new and were off again. Planning a trip from Ca to the Blue Ridge Mountains this year....great car, a bit noisy and just so fast 75mph @ 1,100 rpm....just nasty fast. Love the car and painted our 63 Hemi Dodge Viper Red...
 
Re. ending production of the Viper. That has got to be the dumbest move Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Fiat could make. Why would anyone stop making any product that they sell every one. Only D/C/R/F. Makes no sense to me. Chrysler has been pulling this crap for years: find something that's good then stop. making it because they can't make 1000% profit. Ever try to get a Ram1500 Express or a Power Wagon or a Dodge Dakota? Ever try to get a body-in-white Challanger?
 
I also thought the Viper was kind of funky looking, and like this car a lot more.
In my opinion the Viper always looked like two different cars stuck together.
 
I think the new Ford GT is way ahead of both the viper and whatever that other thing is!!!

Agreed. And that car has a twin turbo v6 for power!

That said the rear of the viper/fisker reminds me/looks like an Aston Martin rear end.
 
And it appears to be auto

Yeah, the ford gt is a masterpiece like it's always been, but a lot of ford guys are angry that ford replaced the supercharged v8 for an ecoboost v6 and raised the price a couple hundred thousand over the old one.
