The Dodge Concept Car, also known as the Dodge Copperhead and Dodge Concept Vehicle, was a concept car created by Dodge. It only appears in Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 2.

Colors[]

There is only one color available for this vehicle:

  • Red (as named in GT1)

In-game description[]

This description is taken from the NTSC version of the first two Gran Turismo games:

The two seat, rear-wheel-drive, front-engine Dodge Concept Car shares a great deal with its older sibling, the Dodge Viper RT/10 Roadster. Both are products of Dodge's platform team engineering and are designed to appeal to true automotive enthusiasts. While the Viper's performance rests on the brute power of its massive 8-liter V10 engine, the Concept Car relies on an all-new, aluminum block, high-output 2.7-liter, four-cam V6. The Concept Car is 3 inches narrower and 8 inches shorter than the Viper, but boasts an additional 12 inches of wheelbase, achieved[1] by moving the front and rear wheels to the limits of the vehicle's frame. With its wide tires and only 5 inches of ground clearance, the Concept Car delivers a maximized sense of road feel for drivers who crave precise control. The short-and-long arm (SLA) coil-over-shock front and rear suspension enhances both comfort and handling

Acquisition[]

GT1[]

This car can only be obtained by achieving all gold trophies in the National B License tests, though it can be unlocked in Arcade Mode by winning all races on Special Stage Route 5 with cars of all classes (A, B, and C), alongside the two Vipers.

GT2[]

This car can only be obtained by achieving all gold trophies in the National A License tests. Unlike its previous appearance, this car can now be race modified. Interestingly, it has a hidden purchase price of 100,000 Credits, but it cannot be purchased in the Dodge dealership.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only car not eligible for Racing Modifications in GT1, with the obvious exception of the two Arcade Mode's exclusive cars. However, it has a racing counterpart as a separate car.
    • In the Japanese Trial Version demo, this car does have a racing modification, but it (along with the original Copperhead LM) were cut because that contained the old name of the car (Copperhead), which Chrysler discontinued the use of due to trademark problems.
  • In the Japanese and US versions of GT2, this car is incorrectly listed as an MR car. This was fixed in the PAL version, where this car is listed as an FR car again just like in GT1.
  • In the PAL version of GT2, the description of this car refers to the Dodge Charger Concept Car, a completely unrelated vehicle that has not appeared in the series, with exception of a museum entry in Gran Turismo Sport.
  • The racing modifications of this car seems to be an hybrid between GT1 and GT2 versions of the Dodge Concept Car LM Edition. It is available in the same two color schemes of the GT1 version of the car, but with an appearance similar to the GT2 version of the car.
  • Due to in-game quirk (the car's price is set to zero to prevent the car from being purchased in the dealership), it is not possible to sell the regular version of the car once obtained in GT1, and if the car is purchased using memory card Trade feature, the car can be obtained for free.
