7 Cars that could be considered as the Vipers brothers/cousins. #BlogPost
Ok. Lets kick things off by saying that all the cars that are listed are just my opinions. And it doesn’t matter if it the cars aren’t on the same chassis.

1. 2011 Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale
This has to be the Viper’s twin brother, same chassis, same engine, suspension, and (mostly) interior. It also (from some vague angles) looks kinda like the Viper.
2. ViperExhange Force 1 V10
I think we can all agree, the design is a bit fussy, like Darren Cassey said in an earlier article. But it’s based on the Viper, has the same engine, suspension, brakes, basically the same interior (albeit with some modifications).
It even has Viper Exchange modifications.
3. Chrysler Firepower
Yep, this was a thing. It had the Viper’s chassis, suspension, brakes and some things in between. The one thing it didn’t have was the Viper’s V10. It got the 6.1 Hemi that was in that year’s 300 SRT8.
Yep, the Firepower is from 2005.
4. Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
You might not think it, but this is a cousin to the Viper, think about it. The F12 kinda looks like the Viper, both have very classic proportions, both have big engines (when you don’t compare), and both (in some ways) kinda look like the short-wheelbase 250 GTO.
5. Maserati GranTurismo
Again, while you wouldn’t think it. You could very well consider this as the less powerful cousin. (This goes for the Maserati Alfieri concept and the Alfa Romeo 8C).
6. Lamborghini Aventador
Think, both are mental, both are made by mental brands, both look mental, both are mental to drive. And if it wasn’t for Lambo, we might not have the Viper.
With these two, it’s a “brotha from anotha motha” type of thing.
7. Mercedes SLS AMG.
We all saw that spy shot of the SLS with the Viper body, so I don’t think I need to explain why it’s on the list XD.
If you think I missed something then comment down below what you think I missed.

What about the corvette lol
Their rivals, not brothers. The Viper is a track car for the road, the Corvette is a sports car trying to be good at everything.
I don’t think the Aventador looks anything like a viper
It doesn’t need to look like the Viper, because it’s just as mental AS the Viper.
The first 4 I can see. They do have similar characteristics, but still obviously different cars. The last 2 though, especially the Lamborghini. Yea… don’t see it. Well, maybe the Merc if it was the child of 2 distant cousins.
Yeah, the Merc, Lambo and Ferrari are probably distant cousins.
Wow……. I wouldn’t have expected this post to get editors pick. Well uh…. Thanks editors :), and thank you everyone for sparking conversation within this post.
Miata?
Hmmmmm. I’ll think about it ;).
A TVR on the cover image and not one TVR model is mentioned?
The disappointment is real here.
The TVR is on the cover is actually one I used for a meme earlier. So it’s kinda already in the list.
If you want one though I’ll add it.
