2001 Dodge Viper RT10

Launched in 1991, the Dodge Viper was reminiscent of the Cobra of the early '60s. Indeed, Cobra creator Carroll Shelby drove a prototype as the pace car for the 1991 Indy 500. The first production model, the RT/10 Roadster, became available in 1992. With a GRP body over a tubular steel frame, the real centrepiece of the car was its mighty engine and the Lamborghini Company, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, converted the Chrysler 'LA' V8 into the V10 for the Viper by recasting the block and heads in an aluminium alloy. A major contributor to the Viper since the beginning was Dick Winkles, the chief power engineer, who had spent a lot of time in Italy working with Lamborghini.

This particular Viper is a 2001 RT/10, making it a '1st Generation Phase 2' model (1996-2002), producing 450 bhp. It is finished in very Dark Blue with a distinctive Red Stripe and a tan leather interior. Sold new in the United States where it lived in Tampa, Florida, before being exported to Sweden in 2008 when it had covered a mere 8,705 miles, as shown on the export certificate in the history file. Our vendor then purchased the car and brought it to Denmark. Now showing only 9,119 miles on the odometer, this dramatic, high-powered RT/10 will put a smile on your face whenever you press the accelerator. Vipers are special cars with a singularity of purpose, and 'Muscle Cars' don't get much more fun than this!
