Sporting a Copper Fire Orange finish that changes shades from every angle, the Dodge Copperhead is the most compelling new Chrysler concept targeting enthusiasts since the introduction of the powerful Viper. While comparisons to the Dodge Viper are inevitable, Copperhead strikes its own distinct image with its sleek looks. The Dodge Copperhead was first unveiled in 1997. The Copperhead has a base price of around $26,000 - $29,000; at least half the price of anything else that looks as good.
Designers achieved Copperhead's sleek dimensions by moving the front and rear wheels to the limits of the vehicle's frame. The styling cue is enhanced with cast aluminum wheels. An air scoop grille, deep-set headlamps, elongated hood with dual air scoops, and drastically-sloped windshield contribute to the Copperhead's sporty feel. The Copperhead is essentially a tamed, somewhat leaner Viper. The rear wheels are as far away from the front ones as they can be while still being connected to the same chassis. Copperhead's wheelbase is more than a foot longer than the Viper's.
The car is powered by an all-new, aluminum block, high-output 2.7 liter, four cam V-6 engine, which churns out 220 horsepower. This is coupled with a close ratio, five-speed manual transmission, which ensures the necessary power for immediate torque and traction. Copperhead's wide tires provide stability and precise handling.
The Copperhead is a beautiful car with stunning performance. The concept car is very popular in the market as the toy car range, Hot Wheels.
