                    Having recently proven itself in the American
                    Le Mans Series with an undefeated season,
                    Dodge Viper GTSR proudly claims the title of
                    thoroughbred racer. The Viper GTSR Concept
                    Vehicle explores the idea of bringing that
                    race-ready handling and performance to the
                    street.

                    The Viper GTSR street racer is lower and
                    lighter than ever, and every detail has been
                    reworked for maximum functionality. Viper
                    GTSR's airflow is fully adjustable by the driver
                    with an electronically controlled front splitter, a
                    large rear air diffuser and a rear hoop spoiler
                    with an electronically trimmable wing.

                    To further blur the boundaries between racer and road
car, Dodge
                    engineers managed to tweak a little more power out of
Viper's outrageous
                    8.0-liter V10. With dry-sump technology, it now produces
500 horsepower
                    and 500 pound-feet of torque - up from 450 and 490,
respectively.

                    That's enough extra get-up-and-go-power to take the
Dodge Viper GTSR
                    Concept Vehicle from 0-60 in 3.75 seconds (est.), with a
top speed
                    coming in at over 200 miles per hour!

                    Key Features:
                     Lightweight carbon fiber body
                     Modified space frame & suspension
                     Larger, racing tuned brakes
                     19-inch front/20-inch rear tires
                     Chassis lowered 2 inches
                     Sill-to-roof height 1.5 inches lower
                     Lower hood with larger grille opening and integrated
engine louvers
                     Larger, snake-eye-inspired headlights, designed for
endurance racing
                     Electronically trimmed front splitter
                     Larger rear air diffuser
                     Larger rear hoop spoiler with electronically trimmed
rear wing
                     Larger doors for improved ingress/egress
                     Racing-inspired interior décor
                     Built-in fire suppression system
