The Dodge Dakota Sidewinder is a concept truck that was created in 1997, combining the styling cues of the 1997 Dodge Dakota like the offset hood, fenders, and cross hair grille, with those of classic trucks of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, like a bucket-shaped cab, a narrow 4’ x 6’ box, a billet-style headerless windshield, and a lack of visible door handles, bumpers and trim. The Dakota Sidewinder is essentially a pickup-version of the Dodge Viper, using the Viper GTS-R’s 8.0-liter V-10 engine, with more than 600 horsepower and 700 foot-pounds of torque, in a rear-wheel-drive pickup. Unlike the Viper, the Dakota Sidewinder has a four-speed automatic transmission, but can still accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 170 miles per hour. The Dakota Sidewinder has a 112-inch wheelbase and an overall length of 189 inches, with a height of only 56 inches and a curb weight of only 2,700 pounds. The Dakota Sidewinder features a front double wishbone and rear five-bar link suspension for lower ride and sports-car-like handling. It rides on cast aluminum wheels that measure 8 inches by 21 inches in the front and 11 inches by 22 inches in the rear, and features a four-wheel anti-lock braking system with 15-inch disc brakes.
