About the Dodge Viper

The Dodge Viper is an iconic American sports car that has captivated driving enthusiasts for over two decades.

The Viper made its debut as a concept at the 1989 Detroit Auto Show. The public's overwhelmingly positive response prompted Chrysler to green-light the Viper for production, and in 1992, the first generation Viper RT/10 Roadster rolled off the assembly line. This first iteration featured an aluminum 8.0-liter V10 engine producing 400 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, mated to a manual 6-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive layout.

With a curb weight under 3,400 lbs, the Viper could sprint from 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds. Its aggressive styling, minimalist interior focused on driving pleasure over luxury, and raucous exhaust note quickly established the Viper as an uncompromising performance icon redefining the modern American sports car.
The Viper remained in production for over 25 years before being discontinued in 2017.
