New Dodge Viper year 2013!
Production of the fourth generation of the famous sports car, which is the Dodge Viper ended July 1, 2010. New-generation Dodge Viper V will be under the hood of the engine with a capacity of 8.4 liter V10, which is equipped with system continuously variable valve lift Air Multi Fiat, which will allow through high-tech car drive unit to reach more than 600 hp and 760 Nm of torque (maximum 849 Nm). Debut is designed at the turn of 2012 and 2013.
The drive is transmitted to the rear wheels via a manual transmission with six gears. Top speed is 330 km /h. The appearance of the car is very similar to the previous model. Retains the characteristic muscular stance, with a powerful snub hood and back. The new version of the Viper is not the Dodge. Supercar will be sold under the brand SRT (Street and Racing Technology), which belongs to the Chrysler Group.

The 2013 Viper was designed in Auburn Hills, by Americans, and will be built in Detroit, “but we did consult with our friends in Ferrari and Maserati,” according to Ralph Gilles, to get their skills in low-volume products, and are using some of their suppliers, e.g. for seats, to give the Viper some more “magic.”
During the “three headed dog” time, as Ralph called it, they almost sold the Viper off; Sergio, though, said, “We don’t sell our own.” He noted that it's an icon, so they respect what the styling is all about. He mentioned the Hot Wheels car (pulling one out of his pocket), and said “As much as it’s been annoying to us, it’s been fun to watch the car being imagined on line.”
The car shows that “we still have a soul at Chrysler.” They did look at some platforms from Italy but decided to stick with what they had; they completely updated the frame (made by Metalsa), brought back the magnesium beam which really does stiffen the platform, an aluminum and used new technology to make it 50% stiffer than the 2010 Viper. The engine is more powerful and still an 8.4 liter V10.
The Viper’s always been a place to experiment with technology, and now uses super-formed aluminum on the sills and doors; the body is mostly carbon fiber, and is now 32% lighter (saving 100 lb). The owners demanded a clamshell hood and now has one; composite intake manifold which flows much better; the torque comes on earlier than before, Viper has the highest torque of any naturally aspirated car in the world.
Launch control
To help maximize straight-line performance in track conditions, all SRT Viper models will include launch control (and traction control) as standard equipment.
From any stability-control mode including Full Off, the system can be engaged by a button on the steering wheel while the car is at a stop. Then, mashing the pedal down won’t merely smoke the rear tires; the computer holds the engine at optimal launch rpm and waits for the driver to release the clutch. Launch control then uses engine throttle only to achieve controlled wheelslip, for maximum acceleration through first gear.

Track Pack
Track Pack takes another 57 pounds off for the lightest Viper ever, 3297 pounds, 5.15 lb/hp all together. Using dry weight (3,143 lb), as many competitors do, the Viper is at 4.91 pounds/horsepower.
For the first time, Viper has cruise control. Two mode adjustable suspension. It has the 7 inch screen, as used on Dart, but heavily customized, and an 8.4 inch flat screen stereo, also customized (the Harman Hardon surround-sound system drives up to 18 speakers through up to 11 channels, using rare-earth magnets and double the power of the old system). The seats allowed a 90 mm increase in interior space. There are many different interiors, truly making it custom. Ralph Gilles himself drove the Viper onto the stage. The car is also debuting in the Forza videogame, and Forza was the first company to test drive the Viper; they put together a video, which is the one that was leaked the day before. A real racing Viper was brought in, a silver one, built for the American LeMans team — with four drivers. Pricing appears to be set at $137,000, according to “kdaviper.” There’s been absolutely no official word.
The standard Viper has a more traditional look, with the black hood vents, and a plainer interior, with fewer features. The Viper GTS has more comfort features and a more refined look. Inside, choices of fabrics and dash covers provide many options — a Fiat trademark borrowed by SRT.
Engineering: 2013 Viper frame and chassis
Nearly every chassis system has been re-engineered to increase performance and shed weight while keeping a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution. For 2013, the Viper has shed more than 100 pounds with numerous chassis refinements including a new spaceframe with high-strength steels; carbon fiber and aluminum body panels; lighter wheels; and a lighter engine.
The 100% boxed frame has enhanced strength and stiffness; it has been re-engineered and is far stiffer. Russ Ruedisueli, Vehicle Line Executive – SRT Viper, wrote, “Design and engineering development for the SRT Viper extends far beyond the normal cycles of most sports cars. All SRT vehicles including the Viper must pass the rigorous torture of a 24-hour endurance test that simulates racing conditions.”
A new structural X-brace ties the four corners of the engine compartment together; borrowed directly from Viper GTS-R and Competition Coupe race models, the aluminum brace enhances steering response and makes the entire car stiffer. A new aluminum impact beam at the front of the 2013 SRT Viper also contributes to overall mass savings and weight distribution, while increasing crashworthiness. A cast-magnesium, machined front-dash structure stretches across the full width of the car. Greater structural integrity at the suspension pickup points allowed SRT to better tune the damper.

The Viper continues with its front mid-engine layout that has the engine set back fully behind the centerline of the front wheels. The engine also is offset 40 mm to the right, which contributes to more area in the driver foot well for ideal placement of the throttle, brake and clutch pedals. More importantly, the offset helps cross-car weight distribution with the driver, increasing track performance. It might, however, prevent Viper from being made in a right-hand drive configuration for the UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and other RHD markets.
Viper body engineers were able to achieve the provocative body shapes and effectively reduce mass with the use of lightweight materials including composites and super-formed aluminum. The roof, hood and hatch are constructed of high strength carbon fiber while the entire door structure and panels are lightweight aluminum. (By weight, the Viper body is 44% carbon fiber, 27% aluminum, and 22% composites.)
Viper Venom
Several Viper models are reportedly planned, including one unexpected name: the Viper Venom. While there have been Viper SRT10 and GTS models (the latter being a racing variant), Venom is new. The name was used in 1994, during Chrysler Corporation's comeback, for a rear-wheel-drive Dodge concept car with Viper cues and classic-Charger-style doors, and may have been a design study for the second-generation LH cars. The name was also used by Hennessy's short-run adapted Vipers, and, more recently, for a paint color.

Dodge Viper 2003
"Dodge Viper, vintage 2003, is much lighter, quicker and stronger, than ealier models.
Viper is for many Americans personification of fascination of driving the car. On such as emotional opinion deserved in the 90-s mainly due to the "dry" numbers, expressing the power (above 400 hp), maximum torque (above 600 Nm), acceleration (0-100 km/h in less than 5 s), maximum speed (close to 300 km/h) and engine capacity (7990 ccm).
Create a new generation of extreme car isn't easy task. From the assumption succecor can't to be worse than predecessor. To ensure for Viper reputation in the past decade uncompromising athlete, Daimler Chrysler, to which belong the brand Dodge, placed on increasing the power, reduction weight and improved driveability. As Americans imagine sports car of the XXI century.
Heart of this device is a 10-cylinder V-engine, true big-block a huge capacity 8,3 l. placed at the front convey rera-wheel drive via six-speed manual gearbox. Data concerning the power of maximum torque are staggering: 500 hp i 678 Nm. You don't need much imagination, that predict, what's happend with this car weighing just over a half ton, when it enters the driver thirsty thrill. Fortunately, independent suspention of wheels about wide spacing (back/front 1469/1547 mm) and tires about size 275/35 ZR 18 at the front and 345/30 ZR 19 favourable for good sticking to the road, and powerful disc brakes should ensure adequate delay.
Viper from 2003 year is convertible for two person about "the leaner", more elegant silhouette than ealier models. Introduction for the sale in USA vintage 2003 was planned on August 2002 year, in Europe - as Chrysler Viper - w 2003r."
