2013 SRT Viper is Putting the Top Down

UntitledThere’s good news and bad news concerning the 2013 SRT Viper. The good news is that drivers are loving it. That, however, leads into the the bad news, though, unfortunately is that they are sold out. All 800 units of the super car have been purchased (3 of which we know went to Jay Leno).

If you’re in the market for purchasing the new Viper, don’t fret. The company has made it quite clear that they intend to have more available as soon as possible. Chrysler is looking to have about another 700 ready for pre-order in the near future.

That’s not the only news nugget out about the new Viper. With the release of the vehicle completed, it’s time to ask, “What’s next?” In this case, what comes next is bring the roof down, literally.

Ralph Gilles, the CEO of SRT Brand, has started talking about the desire to turn the 2013 SRT Viper into a convertible. As he put it, “The car is designed to be a convertible. Under the skin is a convertible chassis. It’s already there- the stiffness is there. It’s extremely easy should that come, but we’re not in any rush.”

Currently, Chrysler is predicting that a convertible version won’t be out until around 2015. Gilles doesn’t see this as the next step of the vehicle, more like just an additional version of the car.

New SRT Viper in the Next Five Years?

V2-130139998.jpg&maxW=630The SRT Viper is just getting out into the wild. Even Jay Leno was only able to get his hands on his three Vipers. Most companies when they’ve finished producing one of the most anticipated vehicles of the year would take a break before figuring out what to tackle next. Doesn’t look like the people behind the Viper are ready to take that vacation just yet.

GTSpirit.com has gotten their hands on a leaked online showing the five year plan that Chrysler has. Every major make and model will be seeing something new on the horizon. For the SRT brand, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is the expected to introduce a solid rival to the current Viper. Power-wise, the Corvette is looking to give the Viper a run for its money. That means in order to keep up, the Viper will probably be getting an upgrade.

No word on anything official, even the listed five-year plan is pretty scarce on details. What comes next could be a massive overhaul to create a Viper like the Viper SRT10 ACR. It could just be the same build with a new engine or other modifications underneath the hood. Only the future will tell with what comes next. It’s just good to know that the team at SRT is not looking to fall behind anytime soon.

Jay Leno’s Garage Adds Three 2013 SRT Viper

srt-viper-gal-091It’s never been a well-kept secret of the immense love that Jay Leno has for automobiles.  He’s collection of cars is legendary.  Never seems like it’ll be enough to satisfy him, however, as he’ll have to put in a new parking space to his garage to accommodate his recent purchase.

Motor Authority has the full story on Jay Leno getting his hands on the new 2013 SRT Viper.  Actually, it’s not a single Viper, but he bought three of them.  SRT seemed to be more than happy to accommodate the purchase, sending Ralph Gilles, CEO of SRT, out personally to delivery one of them.  The whole drive took him 4 days to drive all the way from Florida, and through a blizzard, to get to the final destination.

Leno himself has been a big fan of the Viper series ever since the first release back in 92.  He was super excited to finally get a Viper for himself but was unable to at this point due to it not being street legal.  That’s no longer the cause as the Viper has finally gotten itself out onto show floors.  Leno definitely jumped at the chance to get behind the wheel first chance her got.

Take a look at the full video to see both Giles and Leno, two massive car lovers, run down the details on the new SRT Viper and show their love for the new design.

If you’re tired at seeing other people driving the Viper, stop by Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge and pick one up for yourself.  It’s time to see why everyone is bragging that the Viper is back and more powerful than ever.  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more SRT news and deals.
