sort of, serpent and durango joined forces, thats why on the stand there is a serpent and durango name. Serpent did all the moulds etc and the serpent car has the prototype arm which are actuallywhite and as brittle as glass (they were painted black for the show).. The same venture was being undertaken with the 8th car.
Unfortunatly serpent had problems, but im led to belive serpent provided the moulds etc and looking at a the diff the parts are serpent s400 internals. So may not be serpent anymore, but its got serpent in it.
