Summary of current status: Dodge has teased a new flagship SRT halo model named Copperhead, described by Stellantis and Dodge leadership as a high-performance “hyper muscle car” intended to fill a new performance niche. Exact timing, pricing, and power figures have not been disclosed publicly as of now, with official details expected to unfold as part of Dodge’s broader performance-heritage strategy through 2030. This Copperhead is being positioned as a successor within the Dodge/SRT performance family but is not planned to wear the Viper badge.[1][2]

Modern reporting emphasizes it as a flagship for the SRT lineup rather than a direct Viper revival, reinforcing Dodge’s strategy to reassert halo-level performance without rebranding as a Viper.[2][3]
