Behold the first images of the 2008 Dodge Viper a 2008 Dodge Viper development mule. Our source tells us that there wasn't just one powertrain prototype here - there were at least four of these red-hot Vipers with a vinyl-covered camouflage hood and various wires and test gauges - but nothing could hide the huge vents on the hood.
Sources are telling us NOT to expect a 2007 Viper - that model-year will be "skipped" and the '08 models will make an early appearance within the first quarter of 2007. And we do know that Dodge wants to expand the horsepower in the Vipers, but the "what" and "how" are currently just rumors. One rumor floating around is that McLaren is involved and has been breathing on DCX's V-10 engine to get it somewhere near 600-650 horsepower.
