Born from Chrysler's desire to create a modern-day Shelby Cobra, the Viper became an icon of 1990s American automotive engineering and a symbol of raw performance. In the late 1980s, Chrysler, under the leadership of Bob Lutz and Tom Gale, sought to produce a halo car a vehicle that would redefine the company's image.  They envisioned a brutal, lightweight, no-frills sports car that harkened back to the Shelby Cobra of the 1960s.  Carroll Shelby himself was brought on board as a consultant, lending his expertise and legendary name to the project. The first concept car debuted at the 1989 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where it stunned audiences with its dramatic design. Public enthusiasm was overwhelming, and Chrysler greenlit the Viper for production. No airbags, no exterior door handles, no side windows, and no roof (though a snap-on vinyl soft top was available). This was a purist's car. At its core was the 8.0-liter V10 engine, derived from Chrysler's truck division but heavily modified by Lamborghini (then owned by Chrysler).  This naturally aspirated aluminum-block V10 produced 400 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque—astounding numbers for the era. The engine was mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, driving power to the rear wheels.  The Viper could rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just over 4.5 seconds and had a top speed of 165 mph. Despite its brute force, there were no electronic driver aids like traction control or ABS, making it a handful for inexperienced drivers. The Dodge Viper RT/10 Roadster was the start of a lineage that would evolve over five generations, with each iteration building on the raw, unfiltered essence of the original. While production of the Viper ended in 2017, its legacy lives on as a symbol of American automotive audacity.   Any more pictures, under the car, video calling, do not hesitate.
