According to Autocar, "it wouldn't take much" for Chrysler to launch the Dodge Viper Coupé -- sorry, SRT-10 -- over here in the UK. Following in the footsteps of the £77,500 drop-top, whose UK launch was November 2004, Chrysler's sales and marketing boss Thomas Hausch said that a final decision about car had not yet been made.
It might also be accompanied by the 425bhp 300C SRT-8, the 300C estate and maybe even the Firepower concept, all shown at the recent shows in the US.
It's all part and parcel of the general trend of US carmakers, desperate to expand their markets, of cashing in on the popularity in the UK of big-cube muscle cars, which through the so-called 'halo effect', does their brand image no harm at all. Reports strongly suggest that many of these cars can negotiate corners too, these days.
