I'd say it's quite unlikely. A nice theory, but with Chrysler owned by Fiat and Fiat owning Ferrari, they're more likely to go with an old Ferrari platform. That's also pie-in-the-sky. I still can't believe the Mercedes SLS was once the Viper http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/06/mercedes-sls-amg-was-supposed-to-be-the-next-dodge-viper.html

I read in mopar muscle that VW would have a hand in the viper replacement. They said since dodge has made caravans for vw to badge with the routahn “or however they spell it” name, VW having a hand in lamborghini would return the favor by providing a replacement for the viper based on the gallardo platform. How much truth there is to this i dont know….Just pointing out what it said.

Dodge NEVER made a dime on VIPER…long on image, and very short on ROI…When the news comes that it never even intended to be built in 2012…you didn’t hold your breath, did you?

Rest in Peace Snake eyes, as this was nothing more than a car for juveniles with some extra cash to lose.

It will be great to see what the Gen IV Snake will bring! We started out with raw go fast raw muscle, then moved to a slightly civilized snake with even more power (with roll-up window…. oh my!), and now the Gen III’s are King of the Horsepower Hills!

Maybe with all of Fiats sports car expertise (Ferrari?), we could get the best of all worlds, American V-10 Muscle, torque and style with unrivaled refinement, an “oxymoron?”, we shall see. As long as it’s styling sends woman and children screaming…. we’ll be OK As Bill Cosby once said, “Piiiipes….. Piiiiipes, wait ’till those Chevy boys see these pipes!!!!
