The new
2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 boasts more of what performance
aficionados crave: kick-in-the-pants, throw-back-in-the-seat
power, combined with benchmark braking, world-class ride and
handling, a race-inspired interior and bold exterior
styling.
While every SRT vehicle
offers balanced, overall performance, the heart and soul of
the new 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is its standout powertrain.
For 2008, SRT ups the ante with a new, 8.4-liter aluminum
V-10 engine that produces an astounding 600 horsepower and
560 lb.-ft. of torque.
“A legendary big-game
hunter once said, ‘Bring enough gun!’ – and with the new
2008 Dodge Viper SRT10, we’ve created some very powerful
artillery for sports-car enthusiasts,” said Kipp Owen,
Director – Street and Racing Technology (SRT) Engineering,
Chrysler Group. “With 600 horsepower – 90 more than before -
and 0-to-60 performance in less than four seconds, the 2008
Dodge Viper SRT10 sets a new benchmark for the ultimate
American sports car.”
The new 2008 Dodge Viper
SRT10 will arrive in Dodge showrooms in North America this
summer with a new level of customization options, including
five new exterior colors, four new interior color
combinations and a new wheel design.
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 will be hand-built at
the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit.
SRT creates some of the
Chrysler Group’s boldest, most distinctive products by
single-mindedly following its core vision: Deliver benchmark
performance at the lowest price, and deliver it with
absolute integrity and credibility. Every SRT vehicle
showcases five key aspects: Exterior styling that resonates
with the brand image; race-inspired interiors; world-class
ride and handling characteristics across a dynamic range;
benchmark braking; and standout powertrain.
With 1.4 million vehicles
sold globally in 2006, Dodge, the Chrysler Group’s
best-selling brand, continues its product offensive for the
2008 model year with the all-new Dodge Avenger, and the new
Dodge Viper SRT10, Dodge Magnum and Dodge Magnum SRT8.
