Viper ACR is Returning to Nurburgring Thanks to Successful Gofundme Campaign

The Dodge Viper ACR may not be the talk of the car world anymore, but that isn’t stopping it from giving the Nurburgring one more go.
The Viper ACR, back in 2011, earned a record lap time of 7:12.13-minute lap. It was the fastest production car on record at the time. Since then, unfortantly, the time has been overcome by others such as Porsche and McLaren. As the glory of the Viper and the ACR wain as it goes out of production and the Dodge Demon is the new popular muscle car, it is time to see if the ACR can make some noise one more time.
This return to the track is thanks to a Gofundme designed to give the ACR another round. Russ Oasis put together the Gofundme with a goal of $159,000 which was raised. The costs handle the transportation and will be putting Dominik Farnbacher back in the seat of the Viper ACR. Farnbacher was the driver when the ACR originally made its record track time.

Sometimes the only way that most people will get the chance to get behind the wheel of some of the world’s fastest supercars is thanks to video games.  Forza Horizon 3 will be helping to provide Dodge Viper fans with the addition of the Dodge Viper ACR to the long line-up of vehicles in the game.

 

It’s part of a new DLC pack being added to the game called the Alpinestars Car Pack.  The Dodge Viper ACR will be joining in along with other vehicles such as the 2017 BMW M4 GTS, 2017 Acura NSX, and the 1978 Talbot Lotus Sunbeam.

 

The Dodge Viper ACR is considered one of the world’s fastest track cars.  It’s perfect for a game to give drivers the chance to experience the ACR at its full glory, even if it’s steering with a controller in hand.

Oh to be the head of a car company so that I could spend my weekends “test driving” the hottest and fastest cars.  That’d be a nice way to live.

That’s just what Ralph Gilles, Fiat-Chrysler’s Head Designer, gets to do.  Auto Evolution hosted a look at how he spent his Labor Day weekend.  He took off from the office and headed to the Pittsburgh International Race Complex to take the Dodge Viper ACR for a few trips around the track.

The videos of the event are a blast.  It’s entertaining to see someone who clearly loves the place he works for and the products they make enjoy them in a way so few get to.  He races his ACR against another one.  Check out the videos and try not to want a career change afterwards.
