More Viper Colors - SRTDealerNY - Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Dodge is giving Viper drivers more choices in the production of their favorite supercar.

With the 2016 model year, Dodge will now be offering matte-finish exterior paint for the Viper.  This means fans will now have more than 50 million different and unique looks to choose from.  That list is made up of more than 16,000 unique color options and more than 48,000 strip combos.  First prize goes to the person who uses a sprinkle of every color and stripe.

“The Anodized Carbon Viper was the first-ever use of this unique metallic matte exterior color by FCA and helped further the trend in automotive matte finish exteriors from the factory,” Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of Dodge and SRT brands said.  “Now, by adding 8,000 new matte finish options to our high-end, hand-built hand-painted super car, we’re continuing at the forefront of the matte paint trend by offering so many variations, colors and even a metallic finish, all of which give each ‘1 of 1’ Viper an even more unique appearance.”

These new matte finish Vipers will be available for order in July.

Dodge is certainly taking steps to constantly make the Viper experience one of the most unique for drivers.  The amount of options and varieties in look means that no matter how many Vipers are on the road, it can still be a special little snowflake in the crowd.

A Look at the Painting of the 2014 SRT Viper

SRT Vipers are expensive cars.  With that obvious observation out of the way, the reason behind that is more than just the raw power included in the Viper supercar, it is also in the care it takes to make one.  USA Today has a fascinating look at the what it takes to get a SRT Viper painted at a small plant.

Imagine what it looks like when a car is on the assembly line.  We all have an expectation when we think of that.  The car’s body making it’s way down as workers and machines work on various bits and parts while sparks fly around.  A Viper’s production has a major difference from that.  When it comes time to put on the finishing paint job, an average vehicle gets put underneath the sprayers and comes out with a fresh coat.  With a Viper, the paint is applied by hand.

Vipers are special and are treated as such.  For this reason, it takes much longer for a Viper to get out of the plant and into the buyers hands.  The average paint time for a vehicle at a mass-production plant is 8 hours, but here, a Viper can take up to 120 hours to paint.

The attention to detail is incredible to see.  It is clear after reading this article that the care put into making sure the image of the Viper is top-of-the-line for those willing to invest is impressive.  One of the most difficult things for the painters, aside from the actual painting itself, is finding the right colors to make the Viper pop.  Not just any color will do, it has to be something that accentuates the curves and design.  That is one of the reasons why it only  has certain colors available to choose from.  At the Detroit Auto Show, SRT put out an all-new color for the 2014 SRT Viper, Stryker Green.

SRT Adds New Colors and Rain Mode to the SRT Viper

The 2014 SRT Viper has been adding a lot of upgrades already.  This one, as far as major changes go, is quite minor in the long run and is meant more to appeal to aesthetic demand than to power.

The Viper is getting a series of additional color choices for aspiring racer to get.  The first of three is the Billet Silver which is based on the popular look for the SRT Viper GTS-R racer.  Next up is the GTS-R Blue, my personal favorite, and it matches the color that is on the roof of the Viper GTS-R.  Finishing off the list of new colors is the Anodized Carbon Special Edition.  That’s just a very long and special way of saying matte black.

Color isn’t the only thing being added to the SRT Viper, however.  A new traction control feature is being included in future models as well.  This new mode is being called “Rain Mode” and is designed for the the purpose of its namesake, having better control in the rain.  It is to help drivers handle the supercar under slippery road conditions in an effort to help protect drivers who fulfilled a fantasy of driving a Viper.

With this extra addition, it’s clear that SRT is making sure that the Viper is just as notorious for safety as it is for speed and look.
