The fifth generation of the iconic two-seat, American-built supercar has been deliberately evolved to incorporate superior craftsmanship, a host of new technologies and ergonomic improvements while respecting its visceral legacy of outright performance. The all-new 2013 Dodge Sports Car SRT GTS 477kW Viper was unveiled at the 2012 New York International Auto Show, marking its highly anticipated return to the high-performance sports car market.
Speaking at the 2012 New York motor show Gilles told Drive it would cost almost $20 million dollars and require annual orders of at least 500 cars to justify relocating the steering wheel on the Viper.

For the 2013 model year, two new models of the iconic supercar will be hand built at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit - the home for Viper since 1995. Both SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS models offer new interior and exterior designs incorporating premium materials and new exterior surfaces with aerodynamically functional details that are beautifully integrated into the high-tech carbon fiber and aluminum skin. On the inside, designers and engineers strived to rethink all touch points; and upgrade all material appointments and technologies. Compared with the old generation, the new 2013 Dodge Sports Car SRT GTS 477kW Viper adopts aluminum doors and roof, the boot door and hood being made from carbon fiber. All designed to reduce the total mass of the muscle car.

Dodge introduced at 2012 New York Auto Show a new generation for the SRT Viper supercar. The 2013 SRT Viper gets a 8.4-liter V10 engine, which can provide 640 brake-horsepower and a torque of 812 Nm. Wild V10-powered two-seater could be as quick as a Lamborghini. The Chrysler Group has revived its fastest and most revered sports car in the form of the SRT Viper. But don't expect the 8.4-litre V10 two-seater coupe to come to Australia as there are no plans to build it with the steering wheel on the right.

New 2013 Dodge Sports Car SRT GTS 477kW Viper V-10 Engine Offers More Power, More Torque, Less Weight. At the heart and soul of the 2013 SRT Viper is a hand-assembled 8.4-liter all-aluminum, V-10 engine. The iconic V-10 has been continuously upgraded over the years with improvements in oiling, airflow and an industry-first, single-cam variable-valve timing system. For 2013, the engine features a new ultra-high-flow, composite intake manifold for improved air distribution, new forged pistons, new lightweight, sodium-cooled exhaust valves and an aluminum flywheel. The engine also includes new exhaust catalysts to reduce backpressure. The result is a significant improvement of 40 lb.-ft. of torque and 40 horsepower with weight savings of more than 25 pounds for the fully dressed engine.

Coupled to the more powerful engine is a Tremec TR6060 six-speed transmission that has been refined with tighter gear ratios and a shifter with reduced throws to maximize driver involvement, while effectively transferring power to the pavement. Additionally, the final -drive ratio has been shortened to 3.55 from 3.07 giving the 2013 SRT Viper even more voracious and effortless acceleration at all speeds.

2013 Dodge Sports Car SRT GTS 477kW Viper

For 2013, all Viper models will feature traction control. To help maximize traction for straight-line performance, all Viper models also will include launch control as standard equipment. The new Viper is the fastest and sleekest yet, partly thanks to a new lightweight body with carbon fibre panels and aluminium doors that help reduce the overall weight by 45kg. Its aluminium V10 - 13kg lighter than the V10 used previously in the Dodge Viper - produces a massive 477kW of power and  813Nm of torque, the most of any naturally aspirated (non-turbo or supercharged) engine. Performance figures haven’t been released yet although the numbers suggest it should reach 100km/h in about three seconds. It would also be a safe bet that the latest Viper would exceed the last model’s 325km/h top speed.

   The 2013 Viper comes with a more aggressive design, 25 times body-painted candy-apple red, to ensure the endurance of paint job while accelerating against wind resistance , yet to give the sleekness of the exterior. The traditional sport car is the main theme to the exterior, and had stepped away from the recent modern race car design. One of the main target of the 2013 Viper is to get many younger buyers through lighter and more technologically advanced components to save weight. Also, electronic stability control is slated to become standard equipment for the first time. The 2013 Viper has now improved the front-end attached to the body, making it distinctive to the previous type. The engineers passed a test to the flow and cooling system for a brand new engine.

Engine Dodge Viper "2013".

   Engine :

   Just like the design, the engine is also up in the air. Of course, the powerful V10 powertrain producing over 600 hp will always be planted under the hood, but it’s rumored that an the Viper will turn to use a V8 engine that produces “only” 500 hp. However, it will still remain a puzzle when it comes to the installation of the engine. A 8400 cc V10 is the most possible candidate. The engine completely features output to 700 horsepower until 2018 emission regulations. So it seems that it such a right engine for the right car.

2010 Dodge Sport Cars Viper SRT10 Final Edition

Auburn Hills, Mich., Apr 6, 2010  -  To celebrate the final year of production for the current-generation Dodge Viper, Dodge Sport Car is building a limited production run of just 50 2010 Viper SRT10 "Final Edition" models.

2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 "Final Edition"

The current Dodge Viper that we've all come to know and love is heading to that faraway automotive graveyard in the sky. Fret not – we have it on good authority that all supercars go to heaven. To commemorate the occasion, Chrysler has announced that it will build a limited edition 2010 Viper SRT10 "Final Edition" models with a production run of 50 Viper SRT10 Final Edition models.

The Final Edition Viper Sport Car models will be available in Coupe, Roadster and ACR (American Club Racer) model configurations and each will feature a Graphite Clear Coat body with a painted black center stripe traced in red. Viper Coupe and ACR Final Edition models include a black windshield surround. All Final Edition models carry unique side sill badges.

Inside, each car will get side sill badges along with red accent stitching on the black surfaces, plus red painted halo surrounds on the gauge cluster and bright stainless steel screws in center stack bezel. A numbered plaque will be featured on the shifter bezel and the updates will be finished off with Viper Final Edition floor mats.

Available in Coupe, Roadster and ACR (American Club Racer) model configurations, each Final Edition Viper exterior features a Graphite Clear Coat body with a painted black center stripe traced in red. Viper Coupe and ACR Final Edition models include a black windshield surround. All Final Edition models carry unique side sill badges.

The black interior features custom red accent stitching, red painted halo surrounds on the gauge cluster and bright stainless steel screws in center stack bezel. A numbered dash plaque (1-50) is located on the shifter bezel just above the unique Viper Final Edition floor mats.

All Viper Final Edition Coupe and Roadster models will wear six-spoke wheels painted in Anthracite, while ACR models will come with five-spoke Sidewinder wheels in black.

Mechanically, there are no changes to the Final Edition Viper. The beasty sports car retains its standard 8.4-liter V-10 engine, producing 600 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That means all Final Edition models will rocket from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds, while being able to hit a top speed of 202 mph. Production of the Viper Final Edition will begin this summer, with just 20 coupes, 18 roadsters, and 12 ACRs being produced.

Dodge will build 20 Final Edition Coupes, 18 Roadsters and just 12 ACRs, each dipped in a bath of Graphite Clear Coat with a black center stripe that's outlined in red. Coupes and ACRs will also get a black windshield surround that the Roadster does without. Capping off the exterior are anthracite six-spoke wheels for the Coupe and Roadster and black Sidewinder wheels for the ACR.

Production of the 2010 Dodge Viper Final Edition models is scheduled to begin in early summer.
