The Dodge Viper is back and this time it is really bringing the heat.  The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is an evolution of the supercar.  It is the ultimate street-legal car drivers have been waiting for.

“The Viper has always been more of a street-legal race car than a track-capable streetcar, and the new 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is the fastest street-legal Viper track car ever,” raved Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of Dodge and SRT Brand.  “Our goal is to arm our enthusiast with the ultimate Viper track car to dominate road courses around the world.”

To accomplish this, the engineers assigned to the new Viper at SRT took a look at the previous Vipers that competed in the American Le Mans Series and IMSA United SportsCar Championship.  They decided to use this information to focus on three key areas to make the ACR the best Viper possible: aerodynamics, chassis, and tires.

The new ACR Extreme Aero Package has nearly 1 ton of peak downforce; the highest downforce of any production car.  The package includes an adjustable dual-element rear wing that is 62 percent larger than the one on the Viper TA 2.0.  This is specifically designed for airflow around the body of the Viper.
