The first picture of what’s believed to be the new Viper has been accidentally revealed by the most unlikely of sources, Hot Wheels!

They published a series of thumbnail previewing their new range of toy cars. One of them is labeled ’13 Viper, and judging by the details, and the tease shots SRT has released so far, it’s the real deal.

The headlights, the scoops on the hood, the location of the Stryker logo and the front bumper’s air intake, they are all evidence of the car’s true identity.

If this is the new 2013 SRT Viper, it makes you think, why would Chrysler reveal the design to Hot Wheels while they are going through all this palaver to tease the car. The official debut is planned for the net New York Auto Show in April.

That said, this could just be a mock up based on Hot Wheels designers imagination. So don’t put your money on it just yet.
