Back in 1997, Dodge surprised enthusiasts and the media when it unveiled a strange little concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. This seemed out of step with a company known for teasing brute-force monsters, but Dodge said its new Copperhead concept would be smaller, lighter, cheaper, and more attainable. Some enthusiasts dubbed it a "baby Viper" as an entry point into the company's performance culture. When the dust settled, the Copperhead had disappeared. Fast-forward to today, and the Copperhead idea seems to be back, but it may now represent something quite different from that original tease.
