It was stated by Winding Roads that the AMG team used Viper body panels to conceal the latest SLR next gen platform car, like the claimed R/T Challenger latest mule images being seen, was a wrong assumption by many. That Challenger was nothing more than the SRT8 version. Looking at the rear panel, the question is why would you conceal body panels? You simply don't...
However, still haven't receive word yet.....
Here is the suspected caper car under those wraps according to Winding Road :
"...everything appears in order for a proper test drive tomorrow, and we’ll be there cameras blazing whenever the cover finally comes off completely. Stay tuned!..."

"This car is 100% sh*ts and giggles."A car can be a tool but it can also be so much more. It can be a heart-starter, it can be a drug, it can be a piece of art and it can stir your soul.

next GC receives a morph of the Commander and current GC cues. Three rows of seats.
What of the Trail Hawk concept shown? An ORT Grand Cherokee with SFA/SRA would be e-mazing (dreaming, I know).

I read that to mean it's slower out-of-the-box than the previous SRT-4. I really hope that's not the case.

Spy photos: Merecedes-Benz supercar sheds its cover
You obviously shouldn't put much stock into the sheetmetal of this Mercedes-Benz SLC prototype, but judging by the hardware, performance is a priority for this two-seater. Stalked by spy photographers for two days now, the wraps finally came off this afternoon revealing some Dodge Viper bodywork, a set of massive slotted brake rotors and an incredibly long wheelbase. Some handiwork the night before by KGP yielded a 106 inch measurement from wheel to wheel. The true identity of this Mercedes-built supercar is still in question, but whatever it is will be big and fast for sure.
raptor.. what kind of vehicle is this-- crew production name? or caliber-based sedan/coupe? oo. maybe razor production name [doubt that one] .. i like the ring it has to it "Dodge Raptor".
