2013 Dodge SRT Viper GTS – The Sad departure of the last poisonous snake

Viper GTS is a very popular car manufactured in the late 1990s by Dodge (Chrysler), a located in Michigan, USA. How popular this car became, it was initially created TV stories together. The construction of this car started with the body shape of a viper and the creators here managed to give the vehicle the most successful snake shape.

The car managed to win a name worldwide as one of the fastest cars in the world. So I ask you permission to pay first attention to the history story of this vehicle.

A threat to American automotive companies in late 1988 was that imported cars jumped massively into the country and their revenue drops. This is why Native American companies had to protect their company’s status while struggling to produce different types of attractive cars and make them market public.

Meanwhile, the Dodge (Chrysler) top officials’ attitude was to build a new vehicle, taking the most popular Ford Cobra of the 1960s. Then their opinion was that this new vehicle could make its company name to a top popularity. This is how a famous character in automobile manufacturing, with the support of Mr. Ford Shelby, the new car is being started.

Everyone’s unanimous decision was made to use the name Viper as the name of this new vehicle. Most vehicles manufactured in the 1960s, the shape of the new vehicle was created by the concept of the Long hood and short deck. This vehicle uses an 8.4L V10 engine with 10 cylinders and tires. Here it was the famous Lamborghini company who participated in the manufacturing of this new engine. This vehicle also got the influence of Lamborghini vehicles due to Lamborghini being under the Dodge (Chrysler).

This is how the Viper, which was finished in production, caught everyone’s attention at the 1989 Detroit Motor Show. Viper, which started like that, was sold worldwide and became a popular car in a short time.

Regardless of popularity, the vehicle was not prepared with ABS, traction control accessories that make the convenience of these vehicles easier and the driver’s drive. So not every driver could handle this vehicle either.

Handling of these vehicles with a large engine power and a speed car was also harder than killing a snake. Drivers failed to control these vehicles during a speed drive except for a highly talented driver and many car accidents lost huge human lives. That’s why the vehicle was made as a minor car and many drivers were afraid to drive these vehicles.

The Dodge (Chrysler) company had to stop the manufacturing due to repeated basic issues avoiding the inconvenience. The company’s information says the manufacturing of vehicles finally stopped in 2017 and a new vehicle will be released in 2020. However, here should be mentioned that a lot of Viper lovers are looking forward to seeing a new vehicle in the coming day.
