American Racer Built For World Dominance
Viper
has a deep heritage in motorsports, with racing being a major part of
the Viper DNA. From contending for wins to showcasing the Viper on the
race track — its true home — the list of successes is long. Everything
learned during the development of the GEN 5 Viper was applied when
designing the Dodge Viper SRT® GTS-R race car. Knowledge gleaned from
the GTS-R at the race track will forever play a role in future
development of the production model.

Over
the years, the Dodge Viper SRT® GTS-R shared many similarities with its
street car counterpart. The goal of GT class racing has always been for
the race car to resemble the production car, including overall vehicle
design and aesthetics. Under the hood there was always a number of
similarities between the race car and production car, including use of
the same block and cylinder heads. When lined up side-by-side, the
Viper GTS-R race car and the Viper production car always looked very
much alike.
The
design of the most recent iteration of the Viper GTS-R used many of the
guiding principles that were vital in the creation of the
fifth-generation production version of the Dodge Viper SRT®. The
initial morph and build of the race car took place in about six months,
beginning in the fall of 2011, followed by the unveiling of the machine
at the New York Auto Show in April 2012. On-track testing followed with
adjustments made to the overall design and construction of the
vehicle.
The
suspension of the Viper GTS-R race car was completely unique from its
production counterpart in part due to its width. The Viper GTS-R
checked in at 205 centimeters wide, with the front and rear each
widened six inches. Michelin were the tires of choice for the Viper
GTS-R, and the team joined forces with Motegi Racing as its official
wheel partner.
Powered
by an 8.0-liter V10 engine that was restricted by the series to produce
between 480-490 horsepower, the Viper GTS-R reached a top speed of 185
mph. A transaxle mounted in the rear saved weight in comparison to a
standard transmission, with gear changing taking place via paddle
shifters on the steering wheel. On the track, the Viper GTS-R was
fueled by E85 as part of the IMSA Green Initiative program.

One
of the keys to success in road racing throughout the years has always
been durable and reliable high-performance brakes. Brembo® provided the
entire braking system for the Viper GTS-R, with each component
carefully constructed and machined to endure the rigors of endurance
racing, while helping to save overall weight on the race car. An
extensive system of cooling ducts provided air to keep the brakes cool
and reduced fade and other fatigue on the system. Caliper- Front, 6-piston

cockpit of the Viper GTS-R was designed first and foremost for driver
safety. The Viper GTS-R was outfitted with the latest safety systems
from Sabelt, along with a Racetech seat. All of the electronics used
for data acquisition as well as communication were housed in the
cockpit. By way of TUDOR Championship rules, air conditioning also had
to be functional and meet a designated temperature in the cockpit
during races. Insulation played a large role in that function.

Production of the hand-built 2016 Dodge Viper ACR begins in Detroit in the third quarter of 2015; May
9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The next chapter in the history of the
ultimate street-legal, track-focused, hand-built American supercar
begins with the return of the new 2016 Dodge Viper ACR.
Certified for public roads and engineered to wring every last
hundredth of a second out of road course lap times, the 2016 Dodge Viper
ACR combines the latest in aerodynamic, braking and tire technology – a
recipe designed to carry on the ACR’s lap-time busting reputation that
has made it a legend on race tracks around the world.
The ACR starts at $117,895. That is more than the Corvette Z06, which
starts at under $80K, but is less than the $130,00 Porsche 911 GT3. The
V10 has always made the Viper more of an exclusive car than the
Corvette, and when compared to the Porsche, it is a pretty solid deal.
Since its inception, the Viper has been a powerful, boisterous explosion
of a sports car that is more often tamed than it is driven. In many
Forms, the Viper went on to be a class leader in many endurance racing
series, and the ACR brings that track-tested capability to the road in a
street-legal package.
