Another one of today's rumors says the next generation of the Dodge Viper will be powered by an engine signed by Ferrari. This would not be the first time the Dodge Viper will have an Italian heart. Back in the 1980's the engine of the Dodge Viper was based on the same V10 concept that gave birth to the powerplant under the Lamborghini Gallardo's hood.
There have been reports that Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is looking to power the next-gen Dodge Viper with an engine derived from the units that will propel the future Ferrari and Maserati models.
The new engine under the hood of the Dodge Viper will be a 90 degree V10 pushrod unit with output figures that are not known yet.
