SRT VIPER 2013 The snake is back
Introducing the New GTS-R
A factory-backed Viper will race on the world stage again. Based on the all-new 2013 Viper, the Viper GTS-R reemerges in 2012. The competition-spec 2013 Viper will compete this year as part of a two-car team in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), the same series that Viper dominated in 2000.
The new GTS-R is built for three things: speed, reliability and durability. The GTS-R is all about winning endurance races, such as the Petit Le Mans, a 10-hour race at Road Atlanta in Georgia, and the 24-hours of Le Mans in France. It's also built to run shorter races in the ALMS, generally two hours in duration. The GTS-R will run in the GT class against Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and Corvette among others.
Viper Racing Returns
"We stopped racing Viper as an official factory program after the 2000 season," said Gary Johnson, Road Racing Manager for Dodge Motorsports. "Ever since then, Viper enthusiasts have asked us when we will race again. We had no answer until now."
