The Dodge Viper, a muscular American sports car, has been "Europeanized" by British performance-engineering specialist Prodrive Ltd.

The third-generation Viper, the SRT-10, will be introduced in Europe in December as part of parent DaimlerChrysler's plans to turn Dodge into a global player.

"The Viper is the Dodge brand icon and the ultimate American sports car," said Dan Knott, D/C's director of street and racing technology.
