2008 Viper info from Automotive News
It's red, it's hot, and it's more powerful than ever.
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 will debut next month at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. But here's an early look.
The Viper's 8.4-liter V-10 engine generates a whopping 600 hp and 560 pounds-feet of torque. That's 90 more horses than the previous model, meaning the car will rocket from 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds, Dodge says.
To handle the heat generated by that powerplant, Dodge has given the Viper a new hood with six big air intakes. In addition, a twin-disc clutch replaces the current single-disc unit. That means all that power gets transmitted to the road more efficiently.
The 2008 Viper will arrive in showrooms in the summer. The car will continue to be built at DaimlerChrysler's Conner Avenue assembly plant in Detroit.
