Dodge Copperhead Halo Car Teased as Viper Successor

other · 2026-05-23

Stellantis announced a $70 billion turnaround plan called FaSTLane 2030, introducing 110 new vehicles by 2030. Among them, the Dodge Copperhead was teased as a new halo car, filling the gap left by the Viper discontinued in 2017. The Copperhead is a low-slung, two-door coupe based on the current Charger, featuring a shark nose, giant rear wing, and aggressive aero kit suggesting a V-8 engine. A high-performance SRT variant is expected. The name revives a 1997 concept that never entered production. Dodge offered journalists a sneak peek but prohibited images. The Copperhead will sit atop the Dodge lineup, emphasizing the brand's continued commitment to performance vehicles.
