Most certainly the highly anticipated reveal at this week's New York International Auto Show was the SRT Viper GTS. Replacing the previous generation Viper, of which ceased production back in 2010, the latest version incorporates all the elements that gave the previous models such a big following. These include a big V10, which in its latest guise produces a hefty 640 bhp, and a lightweight, independently sprung chassis. With more sophisticated electronic systems, a more luxurious interior and a polished exterior, it is also safe to say that the Viper has matured. Another big change is that the car will be marketed not as a Dodge but under the 'SRT' high performance brand. For full details of the 2013 model Viper, we would like to refer to the in-depth press release, illustrated by a spectacular 24-shot gallery.
During the launch it was also announced that the Viper will return racing, starting with the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). That brings back lovely memories of the Dodge Viper GTS-R, which was raced with great success between 1997 and 2001, winning almost every race it was entered in. Among the many trophies are an outright win in the Daytona 24 Hours and class wins at Le Mans and Sebring, as well as championship crowns in the FIA GT Championship and the ALMS. To celebrate the launch of the Viper and its return to racing, we have taken a very close look at the GTS-R with images and individual histories of new fewer than five Viper Team Oreca chassis.
Tomorrow, we will bring a full run down of all the NYIAS releases but we could not keep this Fisker Atlantic from you. Combining the lovely lines penned by Henrik Fisker and a sophisticated drivetrain, it is the living proof that green cars certainly do not have to be boring. Compared to the similar Karma it is a little smaller and should become a rival for the four-door coupes produced predominantly by the German luxury manufacturers.
