2013 Gen V picture on Leftlanenews

[Makara]

The Viper V seems busy but the lines do not connect or flow well from the front or side views. I can't speak for the rear.

The Aventador J seems very busy too but all the lines flow perfectly. Lamborghini design has always been edgy and the lines fit in with that edginess.

The Viper V seems neither edgy nor curvy but a mishmash of both styles and therein lies the problem. I think the focus on trying to make it look a Gen II has overwhelmed the designers. The "clown shoe" is back!

You are basing your review of the car design off of a rendering based off of a matchbox car, just to keep things in perspective...

FUGLY

That is the problem. We have seen the Volado caviar concept and most everything else will look like hash

I have to agree with that. Yes, there are things on that design that would not work. But I wish that is the direction they would go.

So you wish the Gen V were a riced-out Gen II?

My comments in red. And how about this for unobtanium design. That's what I call beautiful design.

Yes. They are supposed to be scale models!

Thought this looked cool. Obviously it wont be the GEN V... but it certainly has that "WOW!" factor

And it might even plow your driveway in winter with that front bumper.

Chrysler made this proto type years ago..... why didnt this get built?

 

[Richard Koch]

I think the Cerebus bean counters thought that a mid-engine V-12 was way too expensive. It was a beautiful car with gobs of horsepower.

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

Looks promising but photos never do these Vipers justice.

 

[Makara]

Yes. They are supposed to be scale models!

No, they are tiny little toys. They don't even come with an official scale. Their scale is officially 1:box They aren't scale models and typically end up as a bit of a bad characterization of the car that they are supposed to be, particularly some of the newer ones.

Rear looks far too plain compared to the front. Jazz up the rear with some spoiler lip action and a little width and I'd like it. Could probably tone down the front a tad as well.

The ME Four-Twelve was engineered in the DXC days. Word is Deiter killed it because it left their AMG babies in the dust in every catagory.

I would love to see Chrysler bring this back. They don't need to change hardly a thing. It truly was a work of art

Humm... I think i'll wait to see it for real before making my mind.
