How accurate is this article from DRIVETRIBE?? (No link-from Apple News)
The Dodge Viper is set to return in 2022. The Dodge Hellcat is basically no longer a muscle car, but a pure-blooded supercar.
Posted on DriveTribe by Jason Haddad.
The Dodge Viper will have a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout in its sixth generation, codenamed SnEV, ditching the nameplate's own tradition which consisted of two-letter abbreviations (SR, ZB, VX) with subgeneration codes I and II. An FCA insider defined the sixth-generation Viper's codename as "SNake Electric Vehicle," although this has not yet been confirmed by Dodge or parent company FCA.
The Dodge Viper will be based on the upcoming Dodge Hellcat, which will become a standalone model as Dodge plans to discontinue the Hellcat name on the Challenger and Charger. The new Dodge Hellcat and Viper, set to be introduced sometime in 2022, will become full-fledge supercars competing against the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren.
The Dodge Hellcat supercar, likely to begin with the 2023 or 2024 model year, will retain the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8, but it will be tuned differently to comply with emission laws across the Old Continent. The Hellcat's newly revised engine will produce 577 hp (@ 4800-5455 rpm) and 631 lb-ft of torque (@ 3840-4800 rpm). The Hellcat will be mated to a 10-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Although the 2023/'24 Dodge Hellcat supercar will have lower power and torque ratings than its muscle car soulmates, the overall weight of the car is where the power kicks in. It will underweigh the previous Viper by at least 300 lb. At circa 3100 lb, the new Hellcat supercar will have a higher power-to-weight ratio than even the Redeye version of the "Hellcat" Challenger.
The next generation of the Challenger and Charger will actually ditch all the HEMI V8s they ever came with for a load of new turbocharged 3.0L V6s and 4.0L V8s in a joint venture with McLaren Automotive. Dodge has suggested replacing the Hellcat name in its muscle cars with Thunderstorm, Satan, or even Demon. (Fun fact: 12,337 Fundamental Christian parents have complained about the "Hellcat" name being too profane for the kids, with 13% even threatening to sue FCA.)
The 2023/'24 Dodge Viper will use an all-wheel drive system connected to four electric motors, two in the front and two in the back, producing 300 hp per motor. It will produce a combined output of 1200 hp and 1860 lb-ft of torque. Dodge cites a 0-60mph time of less than 2.0sec and a top speed "in the range of 183 to 221 miles per hour."
