American style, Italian performance?

New rumours have emerged suggesting that the next generation Dodge Viper may receive a Ferrari-designed V10 engine.
While details are limited, the report indicates that Fiat's CEO, Sergio Marchionne, wants to take advantage of the fact that the Viper is Chrysler's "halo" vehicle. The benefits seem pretty obvious, the engine sharing would reduce development costs (by spreading its use over multiple brands) and the engine pedigree might boost Viper sales.
Like the current generation of Ferrari engines, the next generation of engines will be offered in a variety of different configurations and displacements. If everything goes according to plan, Ferrari and Maserati would get new V8s while the Viper would receive a new pushrod V10.
Despite sounding like a dream come true, we're still a tad skeptical. Only a few months ago Chrysler was attempting to sell the Viper, only to eventually keep it after a lack of serious offers.

Imho se mantengono l estetica attuale spacca

o forse si spacca visto che non riescono a venderne manco mezza

mah... ma la viper deve avere un v10 con cubatura da camion, senno' che viper e' ? Non sono d'accordo 

faranno la viper con il 12 cil della ff portato a 8000 cc

una cagata...la Viper deve essere Yankee...punto.

spero ci mettano solo la tecnologia ma rispettino le prerogative delle precedenti, tanta cubatura, e coppia straripante

La collaborazione con ferrari servirebbe più per affinare la dinamica
