After a 2-year hiatus beginning in 2010, Dodge would revolutionize the Viper name with the introduction of the 5th generation in 2012. The essence would remain true to the Vipers of old: A large displacement V10 powering the rear wheels housed in a swooping body with a long bonnet. However, all the other finer details were subject to great change. Dodge had the defined goal of turning their once notorious widow maker into a more driver friendly, docile performer. Simultaneously, the interior fitments had to be a comfortable and luxurious place to be. These goals would all be thoroughly achieved with the new car. Every performance metric was increased thanks to 840bhp from the 8.4-litre engine, 4-piston Brembo brakes delivering immense stopping power, massive Pirelli tires glueing the car to the road and an aluminium and carbon construction ensuring both stiffness and light weight. Most importantly, computer aided traction control systems made their first appearance ever on a Viper, greatly decreasing the likelihood of wheelspin. This was a fundamentally much more refined car and would be competitive with just about all of its contemporary rivals.

The vehicle on offer, a TA 2.0 specification, is a particularly special breed within the Viper lineage. These 'Time Attack' models turn things up to the max by adding more performance to what is already a really quick car. The suspension stiffened all around thanks to retuned Bilstein shocks, increased spring rates, thicker roll bars, and a carbon fibre cross-brace under the  bonnet. Lighter wheels and more powerful Brembo brakes round out the mechanical updates. Aerodynamically is where the most dramatic upgrades occurred. A more aggressive two-piece splitter is fitted up front and the rear received a larger carbon spoiler. The 2.0 TA seen here is a development of the 1.0 package and includes all the features listed plus a large rear wing and canards up front boosting downforce to 400lbs at 150mph.

Delivered new to San Diego, California in 2015, finished in a retina-singeing shade of orange known as 'Brilliant Dozer', this left-hand drive, manual gearbox, V10 TA 2.0 Viper has had just two owners since leaving the factory. It was imported to the UK in 2018, registered as  ‘LJ64 KVZ’ and has resided in his significant private collection ever since. The odometer indicates that it has only covered 2,365 miles from new and appears in excellent condition today.

In April of this year it was sent to ‘Unity Oxford’ for an oil and filter service along with a fresh MOT ensuring its ready for its next owner to enjoy the serious performance on offer here. A very rare and desirable car, especially on UK roads, this is a one-of-a-kind American super car, serious T/A weapon and will provide endless thrills.
