Now that SRT has finally released their first model - the new generation Viper - it’s time to focus our attention on some of the other models that will be unveiled under the SRT name. As far as we know, the next model scheduled to arrive will be the new Barracuda. The SRT Barracuda will be built as a replacement for the current Dodge Challenger and will arrive in late 2014 as a 2015 model. The first rumors on the 2015 Barracuda suggest two different possibilities. The first is a shortened large-car platform (LC or E-EVO) and the second is the new Alfa Romeo D-size platform currently under development. As for the engine, we already know that Chrysler is working on a new supercharged 6.2 liter Hemi engine and this will most likely be the engine found in the new Barracuda. Output will be somewhere in the 490-540 HP area, so expect to see great performance numbers. Check out our rendering of the SRT Barracuda and let us know what you think in the comments section below! .

I still say, the ones who were old enough to drive, but couldn’t afford them back when these cars came out, can afford em now and will buy em based on the old looks with todays perfromance.
 It’s like a normal car for elite people, except that it’s been equipped with an abnormally powerful engine for a luxury car.
 How is it called the Barracuda? Anyway, it looks highly aggressive as it sounds, although it doesn’t resemble its name at all.
This definitely does look a lot like a camaro, but (since I’m sure they will be changing the looks) I hope they keep the shaker hood!
More importantly though, I hope the engineers at dodge make saving weight a high priority. They’ve already got the power, so if this car can go around a corner, they might be stealing some sales.. Nothing like some stiff competition to make Ford and Chevy sweat!
 The amount of sloppiness in this car is ridiculous. Lengthy figure and low headroom on the inside, really? I feel like its hood is actually going to block the driver’s view.
 This is definitely a lot powerful than any of their cars that I know of. However, its design quite doesn’t fit it.
