In the fall of Fiat and Chrysler’s union subsequent to Chrysler’s bankruptcy, the future of the Viper became a back-burner issue. In spite of this Mike Accavitti who is the Dodge President and CEO today, declared that the Vipers’ production will carry on under the company’s new leadership.

He added that “The Viper lives. The new leadership team the Chrysler Group gets it.”

Now the Chrysler Group comes under the leadership of Fiat and Sergio Marchionne’s and due to this the Viper will persist forward. It will serve its niche of quality performance fanciers. (more…)

Chrysler has revealed the Dodge EV, a Lotus-based vehicle with an electric power train.

The Dodge EV is founded on the Lotus Europa coupe, but has a Tesla Roadster-like electric power train which gives 0-60mph speedup in less than 5 seconds. It’s said to have a series of 150-200 miles between recharges and can be fully charged in 4 hours, using a 220-volt domestic power supply. A model is presently under screening.
Chrysler is also functioning on a 4 door Jeep Wrangler-based extended-range electric vehicle which can do 40 miles in electric-only mode and up to 400 miles with its small engine in operation and a similarly-propelled Town & Country/Voyager MPV. The company will have at least one of these vehicles in production by 2010.

Chrysler is also in the process of formulating a fully-electric car codenamed ENVI and a tiny electric runaround called ‘peapod’.

Another great car of Dodge is off course the Dodge Viper. Well here you find some specs of the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR. What a ride! To bad it ain’t listed in the top10 fastest cars. What we do know is, that you need a good car insurance for this ride!
