The Story Behind the New SRT Viper


The Story Behind the New SRT Viper
There's a new performance car on the street. And its performance is insane.
  • Zero to 60 mph is somewhere in the low 3 seconds
  • Quarter mile time is low 11's.
  • It can go from 0 to 100 mph in less than 12 seconds
  • It only needs 106 feet to go from 60 to 0.
Want to know more? Motorbooks had rare behind-the-scenes access to the design and production of the all-new SRT Viper. And now we're telling the story in SRT Viper: America's Supercar Returns. Author Maurice Q. Liang was there through the entire process and shares the whole story of how this car came to be: the inside stories, the proposed possibilities, the pictures of what worked (and what didn't).
SRT Viper
With its ground-shaking V-10 American muscle and chassis with European sports car handling, the original Dodge Viper put America on the world's supercar map when it debuted in 1992. After 18 years of dominating its supercar rivals on the streets and on the world's race courses, Dodge retired the Viper in 2010. But you can't keep this snake in the basket.

In addition to telling the story of the newest model, SRT Viper: America's Supercar Returns explores the car's full history, including the roles Bob Lutz and Carroll Shelby played in the original Viper's development and recounts the Viper's wins at such hallowed tracks as Le Mans and Daytona. It's the full story of how one of the most amazing "halo" cars ever created has become an automotive legend.

 

Take a look at Chrysler's video on the car's exterior design. Then be sure to pick up SRT Viper: America's Supercar Returns, the ultimate resource on Chrysler's ultimate performance car, to get the rest of the story.
