AI-Designed Dodge Viper Shooting Brake Nears Production, Creator Reveals Progress

A Dodge Viper RT/10 Shooting Brake concept car, designed with AI assistance, is drawing widespread attention. Its creator, Sebastian Simonsson, revealed that the project has already attracted interest from several industry companies and could potentially move toward production. With 25 years of automotive visualization experience—including collaborations with brands like Koenigsegg—Simonsson emphasized that AI served only as a rendering tool, while the core design originated entirely from himself. Inspired by the Nordic concept of “Lagom” (meaning “just right”), the car features a restrained, balanced aesthetic infused with racing DNA. Although acknowledging the controversy surrounding AI-generated content, he insists on being recognized as the “creator,” rather than a traditional designer. The design garnered over 100,000 likes and 30,000 shares on Instagram within 24 hours of its release, sparking discussions including comments from F1 driver Jenson Button. Simonsson is now in talks with partners experienced in the Viper platform to refine the chassis, weight distribution, and structural rigidity, aiming to bring this iconic model back in a fresh new form.
