Der Dodge Sidewinder war ein Konzeptfahrzeug der US-amerikanischen Automobilmarke Dodge, das 1997 von Dodge auf der SEMA Show in Las Vegas vorgestellt wurde.[1]

Übersicht

Das offiziell Dakota Sidewinder genannte Showcar war als sportlichere Variante des Dodge Dakota (2. Generation) entworfen worden, eine Serienproduktion war jedoch nicht vorgesehen. Die Idee von Dodge war, einen Pick-up mit einem Cabrio und dem Motor eines Rennwagens zu kombinieren. Das betont muskulös designte Konzeptfahrzeug sollte in der Tradition amerikanischer Hot Rods stehen.[2]

Technik

Das Fahrgestell des Sidewinders wurde speziell für das Showcar von Riley & Scott entwickelt. Der Motor des Sidewinders stammte aus der Chrysler Viper GTS-R. Der V10-Ottomotor mit acht Litern Hubraum leistete 648 PS (477 kW) und gab ein maximales Drehmoment von 719 Nm ab. Die Kraft wurde über ein 4-Gang-Automatikgetriebe auf die Hinterräder übertragen. Innerhalb der 21-Zoll-Vorder- und 22-Zoll-Hinterräder wurden Bremsen mit 15 Zoll Scheibendurchmesser montiert, die wegen der hohen Leistung nötig waren.[1]

Der Wagen sollte in 3,9 Sekunden von 0 auf 60 mph (97 km/h) beschleunigen.[2] Die angegebene Höchstgeschwindigkeit des Sidewinders lag bei 274 km/h (170 mph).

Back on November 4th, Hemming's Blog posted an article about the closing of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum . I had missed a couple other opportunities with the WPC Club and others to get into the museum, after it had closed to the public. I did not want to regret missing this last chance to see all of the vehicles before being spread out to other facilities. I trekked from Western Minnesota to Eastern Michigan during Winter Storm Decima. I missed the worst parts of the storm, but still had to endure the aftermath winds, sub zero temperatures and a lake effect snow storm.

The trip was difficult, but well worth it. I got to see several Chrysler Corporation concept and show cars that I had only seen pictures of before. There were several clever interactive displays demonstrating various innovations over the years.

Since it was the last chance, I duplicated several shots using different camera settings to see what produced better results. I wish I had invested in a strobe light diffuser for all of those indoor pictures. I have not had much experience or success in the past with indoor car images.
