Dodge is no stranger to producing high-performance supercars and muscle cars, and few are as easily recognizable and legendary as the Viper. It’s truly a one of a kind vehicle, from the handcrafted details to the unprecedented speed. Although it’s no longer in production, that doesn’t stop fans from drooling over Viper models of the past and wishing for new models.
History of the Viper
Since its introduction in 1992, over 30,000 Viper models have made their way to the worldwide market. This American-made supercar made waves at first introduction with its 10-cylinder engine capable of 400 horsepower. It’s only gone up from there, despite pauses in production, with the latest 2017 release marking the end of the Viper – for now, anyway. As one of the only street-legal track cars, the Viper is sorely missed, even though Dodge produces some equally-powerful cars like the SRT Hellcat.
What really makes the Viper stand out is its fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each viper is a custom-built masterpiece, touched by human hands and made with only the best materials. The Viper finally said goodbye in 2017 with six special edition releases and options for true customization. Buyers got the chance to make their Viper one-of-a-kind, with 50 million ways to make the car their own. There were an unbelievable 16,000 exterior colors, 24,000 custom stripe options, and even more ways to fine-tune the Viper from the inside out.
Now, with a limited number of pre-owned Viper models to choose from, enthusiasts are taking Viper to the digital world. Fans are creating their own prototypes for what a new Viper could look like, taking inspiration from cars of the past and present. Even though a re-release of the Viper is only a dream, that doesn’t stop artists and car enthusiasts from hoping that it will someday make a comeback. We can only hope to see a new release of the iconic supercar – this time, maybe in an electrified model.
