Chrysler unveils SRT Viper

Tweet The Chrysler Group has unveiled the all new 2013 SRT Viper at the New York International Auto Show, and it’s meaner and more ferocious than its predecessor, the Dodge Viper.

The new SRT Viper is powered by an all-aluminium 8.4 litre V10 engine kicks out a mammoth 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet in torque, scary stuff. The SRT Viper features a six-speed gearbox that will be available in manual only. The chassis on the SRT Viper is much stiffer than the previous Viper and it also features the much needed stability and traction control.

The interior of the SRT Viper has been spruced up to make up for errors experienced in the previous Viper, with higher quality materials used and an increase in cabin space. The upmarket GTS version will come with full leather interior, an 18 speaker sound system, aluminium wheels and a two-mode (track and street) adjustable suspension system with Bilstein brakes. 

On the outside, the SRT Viper still borrows from the previous Viper with the extra long hood and double-bubble roof, both of which are made of carbon fibre now. Overall, the SRT Viper looks more refined and will still rip you apart if you give it the chance.
