Chrysler’s Dodge brand is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Dodge Viper with five limited-edition models that commemorate the final year of Viper production and highlight several of the most iconic special-edition Vipers of the past.
The Viper is one of the most unique and exotic high-performance machines on the road today. Dodge is honouring the car’s rich, colourful and exceptional performance heritage on and off the track by paying tribute to some of the most iconic Vipers in its history. Beginning this month (June) and new for the 2017 model year, customers can order their special snake in the following exclusive special edition configurations:
Viper 1:28 Edition ACR (up to 28 units)
Pays tribute to the current production car single lap record of 1:28.65 set by champion driver Randy Pobst in a 2016 Dodge Viper ACR at historic Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California, in October 2015.
Viper GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR (up to 100 units)
Designed to pay tribute to one of the most distinguishable and iconic Viper paint schemes of all time – the white and blue combination of the 1998 Viper GTS-R GT2 Championship Edition.
Viper VoooDoo II Edition ACR (up to 31 units)
Modelled after the original 2010 Viper VooDoo edition.
Viper Snakeskin Edition GTC (up to 25 units)
Its body colour was inspired by the original 2010 Snakeskin ACR.
Dodge Dealer Edition ACR (up to 33 units)
Available exclusively through Dodge’s highest-volume Viper dealers – Tomball Dodge of Tomball, Texas, and Roanoke Dodge of Roanoke, Illinois.
Dodge’s industry-first “1 of 1” Viper customisation programme continues with the 2017 model year. It enables buyers to create their one-of-a-kind “Snake” from the ground up.
With 16,000 exterior colour options (including matte exterior finishes), 24,000 custom stripe colors, 11 wheel options, 16 interior trims and seven aero packages, three brake packages and four suspension options, there are more than 50 million ways for buyers to customise their one-of-a- kind Dodge Viper.
Each “1 of 1” model Viper features a personalised instrument panel badge with its owner’s chosen name to commemorate his exclusive design. No two customers can order the same configuration, including colour, in the same model year
All 2017 Dodge Vipers are powered by the iconic all-aluminum 8.4-liter V-10 engine that delivers 645 horsepower and over 800Nm of torque — the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world. Since 1992, Dodge and SRT have built approximately 30,000 Vipers at the Mack Avenue assembly plant (1992–1994) and Conner Avenue assembly plant (1995–current), both in Detroit.
