Background

The Viper is a high-end sports car manufactured by Dodge from 1992 to 2017. Introduced in 1991, the Viper saw multiple generations, pausing briefly in 2007, returning again for 2008 to 2010, and paused again after that. Chrysler heavily considered ending production of the vehicle due to major financial difficulties. In 2010, chief executive Sergio Marchionne announced and previewed a rolling concept of a new Viper, and in 2013 the Viper was officially unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show.

In 2013, the fifth generation Viper debuted and went on to become 10th on the “Most American Cars” list, meaning 75% or more of its parts were manufactured in the United States, and saw multiple limited-production high-performance variants created, the most aggressive of which, broke numerous track records around the world.

Overview

This SRT Viper is very special. GTC ACR Extreme Aero might be quite a mouthful, but both packages together on one car make this Viper highly desirable. The GTC program was announced in 2015 and ran until the end of production in 2017. It was a customization program that offered 8,000 colors, 24,000 hand painted stripes, 10 wheel choices, 16 interior trims, 6 aero options, and an undisclosed number of standalone options to choose from.

The program was marketed as having a total of 25 million possible build combinations. Furthermore, once the buyer locked in their final selection of colors and options, the car becomes a one-of-one Viper for that year and no other buyer would be permitted to build a Viper of the same specifications.

The ACR Extreme Aero package is equally special for completely different reasons. The GTC package primarily affects the styling, whereas the ACR Extreme Aero package dramatically increases performance.

The package itself doesn’t upgrade the power output, clocking in at 640hp, but the real difference comes with the downforce. The package includes a removable front splitter extension, an adjustable dual-element rear wing, 4 dive planes, 6 removable diffuser strakes, removable brake ducts, and removable hood louvres.

In all their carbon fiber glory, these parts all come together to generate 2,000lbs of downforce while cornering. Furthermore, downforce generated at top speed is 1,763lbs, the most of any production car. The suspension system was done by Bilstein and has 10 different settings for rebound and compression tuning for the dampers.

The ACR Extreme Aero Package was used in order to help the Viper break a total of 14 different track records.

Exterior

This Viper GTC ACR Extreme Aero was designed with Adrenaline Red and Competition Blue ACR dual asymmetrical stripes over a glossy white base paint job. The massive ACR spoiler is littered with red details that really pop, and the car rests on four 7-spoke black wheels that house gargantuan, red, Brembo carbon ceramic brakes.

The front splitter is probably the most reserved part of the car, but even then, there are still two canards on each side of the front bumper for extra downforce. The Viper logo is painted up front, and as is standard with 5th generation Vipers, the red logo on the back illuminates when braking.

Interior

The interior to this Viper hosts an exciting mix of both leather and Alcantara. The car has red stitching throughout to match the exterior. The Alcantara wrapped steering wheel looks brand new, as does the red leather stripe at the top of the wheel.

The seats practically look as if they’ve never been sat in, which would be in line with the way the rest of this interior looks. One finer detail to note is in the door panels. The lower half of the door panels, done in Alcantara, feature a checkered flag graphic to go with the ACR Extreme Aero package.

Mechanical

With 72 miles on the clock, it would be a challenge to find even a speck of dust underneath this Viper, let alone any damage or corrosion. Look elsewhere if you are looking for a project car, this beast is ready for immediate action.

History

This vehicle is extremely rare. It is one of 22 Dealer edition models, which were sent to the highest volume Viper dealers. 11 went to Tomball Dodge of Texas, and the other 11, including this example, were sent to Roanoke Dodge of Illinois. There is a plaque located on the passenger side of the dashboard that indicates this Viper is number 11 of 22.

The Dealer edition is one of 5 different special packages designed to commemorate the Viper's 25th anniversary. Furthermore this Viper is a 0-owner car thanks to the MSO designation. Whoever wins this car at auction, should they choose to register it, will become the very first owner of this fine vehicle.

Summary

This Viper is extremely unique and rare. Combined with superb styling and an ultra-low odometer reading, this Viper is truly the penultimate Viper. The ACR Extreme Aero Package turns this vehicle into one of the finest track cars in the world and has an incredible pedigree. The GTC Package ensured that not another Viper like it would ever be made, and that Dodge V10 is simply a classic.

This is a can’t miss opportunity to secure a high-end American sports car with the potential to put all others to shame. Genuinely, this car is one of a kind.
