Default Artist Rendering: Dodge Viper



Some reason I see a bit of Maserati Granturismo / MB SLR in this design.

There's rumors abound that the NEW Viper will drop the LONG hood, which is featured in this photoshop. Sorry I doubt it'll look like this. Expect a smaller engine, with the same if not more HP. Maybe the V10 will stay, but not 8 liters.

Is it me or does anybody else see Maserati Grand Turismo S inspiration in this rendering? I thoght that was what it was at first glance. I know that they are different beasts altogether. Was just uncanny the first glance resemblance.

Agreed. Everyone is seeking the sharp, hard cut lines nowadays.

I like this, but in the Viper's case, I'm more concerned about the interior. Exterior has for the most part been on point.

The profile reminds me more of Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione than Maserati
