Viper Returns with New Name And Design




Just think, this vehicle was on the chopping block just a few years ago. Now Dodge , the SRT, returns under the Chrysler Group Street Racing Team division. The SRT Viper is no longer a Dodge. This street racer (and in some cases the non street racers) are back! Here's what one can expect..

  • Two new models include SRT® Viper and SRT Viper GTS
  • All-aluminum, mid-engine 8.4-liter V-10 delivers an estimated 640-horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world
  • Chassis enhancements bring 50 percent improvement in torsional stiffness
  • Triple-digit weight reduction results in Viper best power-to-weight ratio
  • Standard safety features include electronic multistage stability control, traction control and new 4-channel anti-lock brake system (ABS)
  • All-new, innovative interior designs set new standards with premium materials, new technologies and superior craftsmanship
  • All-new carbon-fiber and aluminum skin is sculpted for high-speed stability and a slippery .364 drag coefficient (Cd)
  • Timeless exterior design incorporates iconic Viper styling cues with a contemporary execution
