What is the SRT Viper?
The SRT Viper is a two-seat American sports car with a long bonnet and a V10 engine. The Viper first appeared as a production car in 1992 and became one of Dodge’s best-known models. For its 2013 return, it wore the SRT name, which Chrysler used for its performance division at the time.
The fifth and final generation, known as VX I, ran from 2013 to 2017. It brought the Viper back after a production break, with updated cabin technology and lightweight body panels. The SRT Viper name was used for 2013 and 2014; the car then returned to the Dodge name.
