Dodge Viper

Development
The Viper was conceived as a historical take on the classic American sports car. AC Cobra The icon was an inspiration, and the final version of the snake is confirmed with its powerful engine, minimalist straightforward design, muscular, aggressive style and high performance. Some saw claims kinship with the Cobra as a marketing exercise, ignoring that Carroll Shelby was heavily involved in the initial design of the Viper, and subsequent design of the Viper GTS coupe. In particular, the afternoon (1996 to 2002) Viper GTS Coupe takes design cues from some of the Pete Brock designed Shelby Cobra Daytona. Although the proportions seem similar to first glance, the designs are quite unique. Carroll Shelby was instrumental in the development of the RT/10 addition to having a hand in developing the GTS model.
The Viper was Initially conceived in late 1988 in Advanced Studies in Design of Chrysler. The following February, Chrysler president Bob Lutz suggested to Tom Gale at Chrysler Design that the company should consider developing a modern Cobra, and a clay model was presented to Lutz a few months later. Produced by Metalcrafters plate, the car appeared as a concept at the North American International Auto Show in 1989. Public reaction was so enthusiastic, that chief engineer Roy Sjoberg was directed to its development as a vehicle standard.
Sjoberg selected 85 engineers to be "Team Viper", with development beginning in March 1989. The team asked then-Chrysler subsidiary Lamborghini to cast some prototype aluminum blocks based on Dodge's V10 truck engine for sports use in May. The production body was completed in autumn, with a working prototype chassis December. Though a V8 was first used in the test mule, the V10, which was to automotive production use, was ready in February 1990.
Official approval from Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca was in May 1990. A year later, Carroll Shelby piloted a pre-production car as the pace car in the race for the Indy 500. In November 1991, the car was released to reviewers with first shipments Retail from January 1992.

The first prototype was tested in January 1989. Debuted in 1991 with two pre-production models as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 when Dodge was forced to substitute in place of the Japanese-built caution because of complaints from the United Auto Workers, and was released in January 1992 as the RT/10 Roadster.
The centerpiece of the car was its engine. Design was based on Chrysler Angeles, who was a truck engine. The original setup was too heavy for use in sports, for Lamborghini, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, Dodge V10 refurbished cast iron block for the Viper by recasting the block and head in aluminum alloy. Some within Chrysler felt the push rod two-valve design, while adequate for the implementation of trucks, it was not appropriate for a performance car and suggested a new design has wider included four valves per cylinder. Chrysler, however, was not sure about the costs of production of the Viper and the sales potential and so declined to provide the budget for the modification.
The engine weighs 711 pounds (323 kg) and produces 400 hp (300 kW) at 4600 rpm and 465 lbft (630 Nm) at 3600 rpm, and thanks to leverage long allowed by the engine, fuel economy provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rating 12 miles per U.S. gallon (20 L/100 km, 14 mpg-imp) city and 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km, 24 mpg-imp) highway. The body was a tubular steel frame with resin transfer molding (RTM) Panels fiberglass. Some small parts of the suspension, (ends of the straps and parts of the front wheel centers), following the manufacturer's "first mover" mantra, taken from the Dodge Dakota pickup. He had an empty weight of 3,284 pounds (1,490 kg) and lacked all the modern driver aids such as traction control and antilock brakes. Car and Driver magazine referred to this generation as "the world's largest Harley Fat Boy", and compared to lead to "playing ping pong with a Louisville Slugger baseball bat. "However, the straight-line performance, which completed a quarter mile in 12.6 seconds and reached speeds maximum of over 180 mph (290 kmh). Its large tires allow the car to average close to 1 g lateral corners, like other elite coaches of his time. However, the car was difficult to drive at high speeds, especially for unskilled workers.
The car was spartan, although outstanding support Inflatable lumbar adjustable seats. Along with the absence of exterior door handles, the vehicle had no side windows and a roof. Despite a canopy cover was available, was designed primarily for indoor vehicle storage. Side curtain fabric and clear plastic zip-operated could be inserted in the door and hand-bolts where necessary. All these decisions were made to reduce weight. The battery is placed in the sealed compartment on the rear wheel and increase rear weight and traction. The car comes with a tonneau cover and video tape the whole hood (the hood is detachable and folds to fit in the trunk). In 1994, A / C was added as an option.

A coupe model called GTS was introduced in 1996. Nicknamed "Double Bubble", had the slightly raised roof sections above each seat to accommodate the use of helmets, a throwback for the purposes intended. Vipers can be seen participating often in drag racing, road racing and drifting. The GTS, like its predecessor, was chosen as the Pace Car for the 1996 Indianapolis 500.
In spite of similar external appearance, the car was different enough to be considered a new generation model. [Citation needed] Changes extensive such as a redesigned engine with more power and less weight, an almost completely redesigned chassis that was 60 pounds (27 kg) lighter and 25% stiffer in torsional rigidity through careful computer analysis, a completely redesigned suspension, and reduced braking distances; the 1996 to 2002 Viper GTS had a lighter (about 650 pounds (290 kg)) 450 hp (340 kW) engine, which could complete the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds, 0.3 seconds and 16 mph (26 km / h) faster than its predecessor, and increased the maximum speed of 11 mph (18 km / h) or less. The revised suspension, stiffer chassis, and aerodynamic body raised lateral grip of 0.98 g (9.6 m / s), although other reports show the 1992 model with 1.0 g. contemporary tires have improved this as significantly. Slalom runs could often reach or exceed 70 mph (110 km / h). Brakes once again lacked initially, and proved the point weaker car. Hurt the car's brakes compared numerous tests, such as 1997 "comparison supercar" Motor Trend, in which the Viper GTS placed on top against cars like the Ferrari 550 NSX, Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 911, and Honda in all exercises, except braking performance. The car does not only placed at the end, but had much longer braking distances from other vehicles. ABS was introduced more in the production cycle, although performance brake was not necessarily improved. In a Sports Car International comparison conducted in 2002, the Viper ACR (ABS) compared with the 911 GT2 at Thunderhill Raceway Park. Both cars were very capable, and quick on the test track, but the Viper was more difficult to drive and braking system blamed especially for the gap in lap times (approximately GT2: 2 minutes, ACR: 2:04) between the two cars.
Along with the performance upgrade was the inclusion some of the "luxuries" the car did without before. Dual front airbags were added to the list of vehicle safety equipment in 1996 and 1997 GTS the RT/10 as mandated by the government. The car was also exported to Europe, where it was renamed the Chrysler and sold under the brand from 1997 to 2003. European models had detuned version of the Viper V10.
In the first six years of production almost 10,000 Vipers were sold. Small evolutionary changes including new tires 18 "diameter tires were introduced in the 1999 model. The light appears later hypereutectic pistons and an improved exhaust system, side exhaust has fallen in the middle of the production process in 1996 for the RT/10, the whole production Viper GTS coupe was rear exhaust outlet. 1999 saw the introduction Cognac Connolly leather interior package. Continuing with the improvements, the ABS was introduced in 2001. In 2002, the end of production of second generation with the launch took place of 360 commemorative "Final Edition" models. These models were painted red with white stripes, paying tribute to the famous race car Oreca win. The RT/10 was replaced by the SRT-10 GTS in 2003 and was replaced in 2005 by the SRT-10 Coupe.

The Dodge Viper underwent a major redesign in 2003, courtesy of DaimlerChrysler's Street and Racing Technology Group. The new Viper SRT-10, which replaces both the GTS and the RT/10 was largely redesigned body strong, at an angle. engine displacement was enlarged to 505 cubic inches (8.3 L), which, with other improvements, combined to increase output to 500 hp (370 kW) and 525 lbft (712 Nm). Along with increases in power, the weight was reduced by 500 pounds (230 kg) range. The chassis has been improved as well. It became more rigid and weighed approximately 80 pounds (36 kg) less than the previous model. A lighter chassis and stronger was planned but was abandoned due to cost (under suspension parts were used in the Hennessey Viper Venom 1000 Twin Turbo.) The initial model was a convertible. In 2004, Dodge introduced a limited edition Mamba package. Mamba edition cars featured black interiors, with red stitching and trim and saw its price rise by U.S. MSRP approximately $ 3000. 200 Mambas occurred.
The Viper SRT-10 Coupe was introduced in 2005 at Detroit Motor Show 2006 model. Shares many of its body panels with the convertible, but it has its style side and behind Cup Competition. The coupe is much like the previous Viper GTS and retains the "double bubble" roof shape of the original together with the original GTS's taillights as well as providing the original GTS blue white striped paint scheme in the opening race of the first edition as a tribute car added to the original Viper coupe. The engine is certified by the SAE to produce 510 hp (380 kW) and 535 lbft (725 Nm). Unlike the original coupe, the chassis does not modified. This makes heavier than the coupe convertible, and therefore a bit slower to accelerate. Handling and high speed performance is enhanced by more rigid under coupe, reduces friction, and increased downforce.
No 2007 model Vipers were produced. In contrast, Chrysler decided to give the 2006 model, a extended run while preparing the updated 2008 model.

In 2008, with the introduction of 510 in cu (8.4 L) V10, Viper produces 600 bhp (450 kW) at 6000 rpm and 560 lbft (760 Nm) at 5100 rpm, and also received a better flowing head with bigger valves, Mechadyne cam variable valve timing on the cam lobes on the exhaust cam, and dual electronic throttle bodies. The rev limit can be increased by 300 rpm due to the increased stability of the valve train two camshaft profiles and valve-spring again. Engine development took a little outside help from McLaren Automotive and Ricardo Consulting Engineers. The electronic engine control has been developed by Continental AG, the controller is capable of monitoring the crankshaft and the position of the cylinder during each shot six times and has 10 times more processing power compared to the previous unit.
Changes outside of the engine are less extreme. Tremec T56 transmission has been replaced by a new Tremec TR6060 which now has first gear synchronizers triple and double for higher gears. The Dana M44-4 rear axle 2003-2006 model ViscoLok GKN now has a speed sensitive limited slip differential that greatly help the tires to get grip acceleration. Another performance improvement was the elimination of run-flat tires, the new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires have increased driver feedback, and and adherence and, together with a revised suspension (springs, sway bars and shock valving), has made the snake more neutral cornering.
The changes made the car a 2008 model year were sufficient to Chrysler to be different from the first SRT-10, and the 2008 model became known as Gen IV, [citation needed], just in time for the launch of Chevrolet 638 hp (476 kW) Corvette ZR1. Another notable change is the reformulation of the exhaust system before third generation Vipers had their exhaust crossover under the seats, resulting in a lot of heat going to the cabin, this was done initially to help improve the cars exhaust note, as First 2 generations of Viper, which does not cross, were criticized for their lackluster exhaust notes. For 2008, the Viper exhaust will utilize a new exhaust system, no movement, This reduces the heat entering the cockpit.
The electrical system has been completely revised for 2008. The changes include a 180-amp alternator, two fans electrical, electronic throttle, and completely new engine management system of Venom. CAN bus architecture has been intertwined with existing systems to allow regulatory compliance. The fuel system has been updated to include a power fuel pump and filtration system.
Car and Driver recently tested the car and has a 0-60 mph time (97 km / h) in 3.5 seconds, 0 to 100 mph (160 km / h) time of 7.6 seconds and a quarter mile time of 11, 5 seconds at 126 mph (203 kmh). Dodge claims top speed is 197 mph (317 km / h) and 202 mph (325 kmh) for the Roadster and Coupé, respectively. Car and Driver also tested Viper performance track, and got a sub 3 minute quick lap time around Virginia International Raceway. time of the Viper, despite warm weather was faster than the Corvette Z06, Ford GT, Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 GT3, Audi R8, and like other cars. According to Car and Driver and Motor Trend, the car is a bit tight suspension system and the new differential gave it cornering ability as sharp as before with even better control, feedback and response.
On November 4 2009, President and CEO of Dodge brand cars, Ralph Gilles, announced that the Viper would end production in the summer of 2010. A new car will arrive in 2012 for replace the current Viper, but whether the new car will be named Viper.
On February 10, 2010, Dodge began accepting orders for the Viper SRT10 Edit final "models. Only 32 of these units will be produced." definitive edition "cars will carry the special version of the code," AXZ " and will be the last of the fourth generation Viper car. "Final Edition" Viper SRT10 will be available in coupe and convertible configurations. Price This special, limited offering production has not been released.

Europe
The second generation Vipers were exported to Europe, where they were sold as Chrysler.
The third generation Viper was sold in Europe during the years 2005-2006, the first model to be sold as a Dodge, as part of the new Chrysler sales strategy for the European market. In the United Kingdom is known as a snake, but it is actually sold as the Dodge SRT-10, as its name Viper is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom. Prodrive is currently engaged in the importation and modification of the snakes to comply with European laws. According to 2009 research by the Internet company Yahoo, the Viper is the second fuel consumption of cars for sale in the UK.
Variants
Viper GT2
In order to meet the approval requirements FIA, as well as to celebrate winning the Chrysler Championship 1997 FIA GT2 class, 100 modified Viper GT2 Championship Edition trams were sold legal. These updated GTS cars were rated at 460 hp (343 kW) and 500 lbft (678 Nm) of torque. Body was presented aesthetically similar to the GTS-R with its paint job, aerodynamics package, and visual options to make known the achievements of the Viper in the FIA GT Championship.
Viper ACR
The rear of the new Dodge Viper ACR on the 2009 North American International Auto Show.
The American Club Racing (ACR) model was introduced in 1999. This model appears to improvements in the suspension and engine focused on maximizing performance in racing road and autocross environments. Horsepower was (through K & N air filters and intake tubes smooth) shoots at 460 hp (370 kW) in these models, while the pair was at 500 lbft (678 Nm). Weight was reduced by more than 50 pounds (23 kg) by stripping the interior and the removal of other elements, such as fog lamps. The new rigid, adjustable suspension eliminated another 14 pounds (6.4 kg) With the engine mods and handling, these models are distinguished by a "ACR" logo, along with 20 BBS wheels.
RTA was added to the Viper line after the 2008 model year. Their upgrades are more drastic than the original, including legal street racing tires, two piece brake discs, adjustable suspension, and review important aerodynamics. No engine modifications were made, so the numbers have 600 hp (450 kW) and 560 lbft (760 Nm) and the base car. The ACR has an advantage of street legal. The ACR is similar to MOPAR Dodge Viper displayed in various auto shows. Weight is also decreased by up to 80 pounds (36 kg) through the "Hardcore Package" eliminating radio, speakers, amplifier, trunk carpet, indoor track and tire inflator. Its aerodynamic upgrades produce 1000 pounds (4.4 kN) of down force at 150 mph (240 km / h), or approximately 10 times the downforce the basis of Viper SRT-10 can produce the same speed. No updates were given within except for the addition of a professional timer beacon-tripped.
The Viper ACR is built along with the standard SRT-10 at the Conner Avenue plant in Detroit. Components streamlines are produced and assembled in the vehicle by the prefix Corporation located in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Viper ACR-X
To mark the end of the fourth Viper generation gap and repair the final production car until the launch of the new car, Dodge offers an enhanced version of the ACR is specifically designed to run in the Cup Series Dodge Viper. The new car, called Viper ACR-X, take the basic ACR adds 40 hp, a new set of improved downforce front canards, and new materials, along with a stripped interior, reduces the weight of 3300 pounds. This is a race car built as such and not street legal. According to Dodge, the car regular beat of the ACR register celebration around the Laguna Seca for about four seconds (1:33.9 to 1:31). Price has increased by only U.S. $ 12,000, bringing the total cost of $ 110,000. Production is scheduled for spring 2010.

Production
Dodge Viper production began in May 1992 at the New Mack Assembly Plant and was moved to Conner Avenue in October 1995. Viper V-10 engine production was transferred from Mound Conner Avenue Assembly engines in May 2001.
It was reported that Chrysler intended to cease production Dodge Viper in December 2009 and to sell Viper brand. Originally, Devon Motor Works was the only bidder interested in the sale by bidding $ 5.5 million. However, after the acquisition of Chrysler Group LLC of the assets of the snake, the company later announced it was no longer pursuing the sale of business assets Viper, and continuing the production of the Dodge Viper SRT10. However, Devon Motor Works later released a Dodge Viper GTX based in Devon, as a 2010 model.
Motor Sport
After publication of the Viper in 1992, several countries in North America and European teams tried RT/10s Viper race. Cars based on production and use of a roof added to the rigidity, the cars were not able to perform as expected. Though never officially endorsed by Dodge, which is the company interested in developing of a racing car fully supported by the time of the second generation Viper was in development.
Viper GTS-R

Main article: Chrysler Viper GTS-R
Based on the Viper GTS, the GTS-R was released in late 1995 as an attempt to demonstrate the design capability Viper in the world, despite racing programs are mostly concentrated in Europe. The use of these components as the production engine block, cylinder head and crankshaft Dodge engineers were able to extract up to 750 hp (559 kW) from the normally 450 hp (336 kW) second generation 8.0 L V10 engine. The chassis has been redesigned from zero by British sports manufacturer Reynard Motorsport's Special Projects Division chief engineer Paul Brown, while Oreca to assemble and maintain the racing cars.
The car made its competition debut in the 1996 24 Hours of Daytona Racing Canaska, followed by Oreca in the BPR Global GT series. Oreca happen to have most success with the Viper, winning the FIA GT Championship three times, the 24 Hours of Le Mans class wins three times, and an overall victory in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2000.
Between 1999 and 2002 Zakspeed Nrburgring won the 24 Hours three times, with the C15 and C36 Viper chassis. In an attempt to circumvent the rules in 2003 24 that the GTS-R will benefit from special import as "Chrysler Viper 1,350 kg 90 liters of 2 x 30.8 mm (air restrictors)," came as Zakspeed Dodge Viper. In the pit stops, which filled more than 90 liters of fuel, were penalized twice and finished fifth at the track, with 134 laps. Then appealed to DMSB and were disqualified altogether, with "Wertungsausschluss" (Excluding classified) for the Chrysler Viper. As the rules limited engine capacity to 6200 cc from 2005, Zakspeed become a V8 engine that size.
After the end of official factory support program in 2001, the Vipers have been used by private teams with great success. Viper GTS-R was followed using competitive even in 2007.
Viper Competition Coupe

Since 2003, a special, not on the street legal Viper SRT-10 Competition Coupe is available from Dodge for race car drivers, picking up on a variant of GTS-R racing left. The power ratings and torque have been improved, along with the vehicle being stripped of everything not essential for racing, such as the interior body panels, carpet, tools, air conditioning and stereo systems which lightened the car by 380 pounds (170 kg). The Cup Competition is equipped with a full cage, a racing fuel cell and other equipment related career. Not sold through distributors and direct Dodge purchase, in essence, a component of very expensive race car. The price is approximately 140,000 U.S. $. The Viper Competition Coupe see action in the highly competitive SCCA Speed GT World Challenge.
In 2004 Samuel Hubinette used a Competition Coupe with a rear axle modified for the Formula D, which won the title before the car was banned by the end of the season (due to the fact FD would adopt D1 Grand Prix of legislation subsequent year, which had already banned the car competition) and was replaced by an SRT-10 the following season.
After a few specific entries in the 24 Hours of Spa, starting in 2006, the Viper Competition Coupe raced full time in Europe for the first time, joining the new FIA GT3 European Championship with the selection Racing Italian Box.
