While scanning Twitter earlier, here are two tweets that literally caught our eye. One is from the brother responsible for overseeing the design in America for the Chrysler Group (and Fiat) and the other photo is from the folks at Audi. Where else, but Detroit would you see two Vipers, which are products of the Chrysler Group, traveling on the highway together? Also, is the first time we have seen photos of the Audi S5 in a two-door configuration.

Viper Returns with New Name And Design

Just think, this vehicle was on the chopping block just a few years ago. Now Dodge , the SRT, returns under the Chrysler Group Street Racing Team division. The SRT Viper is no longer a Dodge. This street racer (and in some cases the non street racers) are back! Here's what one can expect..

• Two new models include SRT® Viper and SRT Viper GTS
• All-aluminum, mid-engine 8.4-liter V-10 delivers an estimated 640-horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world
• Chassis enhancements bring 50 percent improvement in torsional stiffness
• Triple-digit weight reduction results in Viper best power-to-weight ratio
• Standard safety features include electronic multistage stability control, traction control and new 4-channel anti-lock brake system (ABS)
• All-new, innovative interior designs set new standards with premium materials, new technologies and superior craftsmanship
• All-new carbon-fiber and aluminum skin is sculpted for high-speed stability and a slippery .364 drag coefficient (Cd)
• Timeless exterior design incorporates iconic Viper styling cues with a contemporary execution
