When we first saw this prototype, we assumed it was an updated Viper powerplant, but now we know better: This is a prototype for ASC's McLaren-tuned Viper!

ASC gave us a sneak peak of the Diamondback Viper Coupe with its 615-horsepower V10 engine at the 2006 NAIAS. But this Viper - caught while undergoing testing - is estimated to be at least 650-horsepower!

ASC and the Dodge boys have been putting the miles on these Diamondbacks while touring the Copperstate with stops at the Grand Canyon, and enjoying the cool mountains of Flagstaff. It sounds more like a summer camp than a job!

But fun aside, the Diamondback is expected to go from zero-60 in about 3.5-seconds, or possibly/probably less!

Lightweight with lots of carbon fiber, the Diamondback has been described as "super-light and super-fast" and now it appears that the Diamondback will soon become a reality.
