Auburn Hills, Mich., Dec 2, 2009 -
To celebrate the final production year of the current generation Dodge Viper
SRT10, Dodge plans to deliver a vehicle lineup like no other since the
introduction of the iconic American sports car in 1992.
At the heart of the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 remains the venerable 8.4-liter
(510 cu. in.) V-10 engine that produces 600 (450 kW) horsepower and 560
lb.-ft. (760 N*m) of torque. Benchmark performance numbers, including 0-60
mph in less than 4 seconds, quarter-mile time in the mid 11-second range and
0-100-0 mph in 11 seconds flat, and a top speed of 202 mph, continue to
prove how the serious, race-inspired, street-legal two-seater performs
without apology.
Body style offerings remain unchanged with the availability of Roadster and
Coupe models along with the ACR (American Club Racer) package. Approximately
500 vehicles will be built for the 2010 model year.
With the introduction of two new exterior colors-Toxic Orange Pearl Coat and
Bright Silver Metallic Clear Coat-Dodge Viper SRT10 is now available in 12
different colors - the most regularly available choices in one model year.
And with six stripe options in the new wider configuration, five different
interior color combinations, four different wheel choices and three
available interior bezels; the 2010 Viper SRT10 will be available in more
than 7,600 combinations-the most for any one model year-significantly adding
to the exclusivity of each car like never before.
New across the Viper lineup is a shorter fifth gear ratio (changing from
0.74 to 0.80) for improved high-speed acceleration and higher straightaway
speeds. Acceleration from 0-200 mph has improved by 14 seconds. This
improvement is a direct result of the Chrysler Group LLC Street and Racing
Technology team's experience at the 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife
circuit in Germany where during the lap-record run in 2008, it was found
that a revised gear ratio would have resulted in higher top gear
acceleration and a quicker lap time.
The Viper SRT10 channels its power through a ZF Sachs twin-disc clutch that
reduces rotating inertia by 18 percent, reduces clutch-pedal effort and
improves engagement feel. Transferring power to the rear wheels is a
heavy-duty six-speed manual transmission.
Stopping power is another carefully developed part of the Viper SRT10
equation, with 14-inch brake rotors gripped by Brembo 44/40 dual-opposing
piston calipers in the front and Brembo 42/38 dual-opposing calipers in the
rear. This system results in world-class braking performance of 60-0 mph in
less than 100 feet.
Interior color options for 2010 include: standard black, two-tone black and
red with red accent stitching, two-tone black and blue with blue accent
stitching, two-tone black and medium slate grey with medium slate grey
accent stitching and the two-tone black and natural tan with premium tan
Nappa leather seats, tan center console, lower instrument panel and door
panels introduced for the 2009 model year. On the Roadster model, the black
and tan package includes a matching tan cloth convertible top.
Viper SRT10 ACR
The Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR receives a new short-throw shifter in 2010 for
enhanced driver experience and better performance. The rear wing profile and
end plates are redesigned to further optimize the vehicle aerodynamics and
improve rear yaw downforce. These changes combined with the new fifth gear
ratio result in an increased top speed of 4 mph (to 184 mph for the ACR
model).
The enhanced four-wheel independent suspension features high-performance
aluminum control arms and knuckles, KW suspension with two-way adjustable
competition coil-over shock absorbers with remote reservoirs.
The aerodynamic package features a carbon fiber "fanged" splitter in front
and adjustable carbon-fiber wing with seven-position stanchions that allow
up to an amazing 1,000 lbs. of downforce at 150 mph. Lightweight wheels,
two-piece slotted StopTech brake rotors and Michelin PS Cup tires round out
the Dodge Viper ACR package.
New Special, Limited-edition Models
Numerous special, limited-edition models are planned for the 2010 model
year, including the Dodge Viper ACR 1:33 Edition, which will pay tribute to
the new production car lap record set on Nov. 24 at Laguna Seca raceway. The
unique two-tone Black Clear Coat/Red Clear Coat exterior color scheme on
this model is the opposite form of the original Viper ACR. Interior
highlights include piano black console bezels with red gauge highlights
complemented with red accent stitching in the seats. Only 33 cars will be
produced as 1:33 Edition Viper ACR models.
The 2010 Vooodoo-edition Viper ACR will feature an all Black Clear Coat
exterior with a Graphite Driver's Stripe outlined in red. Only 10 cars will
be produced with the unique striping on both the exterior, as well as on the
steering wheel.
Additional special edition models will be announced closer to their
individual introductions. Pricing on the 2010 Dodge Viper lineup also will
be announced at a later date.
