Chrysler Viper GTS-R
The Chrysler Viper GTS-R (also known as the Dodge Viper GTS-R when raced in North America) was a successful racing variant of the Dodge Viper developed in conjunction with Chrysler of North America, Oreca of France, and Reynard Motorsport of the United Kingdom. Officially unveiled at the 1995 Pebble Beach Concours, it has won numerous championships and famous events in its history. Some chassis are still in use today.

However, following the sales success of the first generation Viper, Dodge began redesigning the car in 1995, upg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
