The Force 1 performance auto design is a luxurious melting pot of aesthetic styles drawn from Bob Lutz of GM, racer Ben Keating and creative Henrik Fisker. The auto is an interpretation of the classic [Dodge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/competitiononly-vehicle) [Viper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2016-dodge-viper-acr) with a modern and race car twist. The final product is a sleek sports car complete with high-tech performance power and collaborative design.

The Dodge Viper is one of the most well-known and popular vehicles ever created, giving the Force 1 a high standing jumping off point.
