Dodge revealed that the all-new 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR (American Club Racer) will make its public debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week.
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR is a street-legal Viper which produces 600 hp and is the latest addition to Chrysler LLC’s Street and Racing Technology (SRT) family of performance vehicles.
The all-new 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is powered by Viper SRT10’s new 8.4-liter aluminum V-10 engine mated to the Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission known as the TR6060 that produces 600 horsepower and 560 lb.-ft. of torque.
The new engine features a deep-skirted V10 aluminum engine block, cylinder heads equipped with Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC)-shaped combustion chambers, large valves and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). The power from the V10 engine is transmitted to the rear wheels via a GKN ViscoLok speed-sensing limited-slip differential.
At the exterior, the SRT10 ACR is fitted with aerodynamic bodykits and devices such as the “fanged” front splitter, an adjustable rear wing sculpted by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), and optimized front dive planes. These bodykits are made from high-performance autoclaved carbonfiber to reduce weight.
Apart from that, the aerodynamic bodykits reduce overall drag and an increase in front downforce of nearly one third.
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR is available in five colors i.e. Viper Red, Viper Black, Viper Violet, Viper Bright Blue Metallic, and Viper Very Orange.
At the interior, the audio system, underhood silencer pad, trunk carpet and tire inflator were deleted to reduce weight whereby the radio is replaced by a lightweight cover and the door speakers are replaced by lightweight carbonfiber panels. This will reduce 40 lb. from the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR.
As for the suspension system, the ACR is fitted with coil-over racing dampers from KW Suspensions that are adjustable for damping and ride height which are also optimized to minimize weight and maximize performance.
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR braking system is improved with StopTech two-piece, slotted, lightweight rotors combine with the Viper SRT10’s Brembo calipers to reduce rotating inertia and unsprung mass, improve brake cooling, and significantly reduce fade even under extreme conditions. This helps the 2008 Dodge SRT10 Viper to stop from 60 mph in less than 100 feet.
VVT Electronically adjusts when the exhaust valves are open and closed according to engine speed and load, allowing the engine to “breathe” cleaner and more efficiently.
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR is estimated to arrive in showrooms in the second quarter of 2008 at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of less than $100,000.
