When you're looking for true collectability, this 2017 Dodge Viper GTS gets it right. It's a low-mileage, loaded, and well-respected car from the storied Viper's final year. And considering this is also a 645 horsepower juggernaut, we bet you can just imagine this level of desirability taking center stage at the classic car auctions in not too long.
The Viper has always been a supercar, but the final generation was absolutely the best. It's a modern machine that really shows some Italian influence in the sleek design. In fact, the factory Blue Pearl paint is a terrific color that has a dark look but a glossy flair that reminds us of an Armani suit. It's the kind of look you get on a well-optioned car that has only averaged around 1200 miles annually. But this high-style appearance did not mean this Viper lost its predatory attitude. You see it in the long sleek hood with deep vents for the monster underneath, and the contoured sides that help incorporate the exhaust pipes. Plus, Dodge's tradition of letting the rear spoiler on the GTS be such a sweeping and dominant force is a true hallmark piece. And we love how the upgraded HRE alloys give us an even better view of the big brakes and aggressive red calipers.
Inside, body-hugging seats finished in rich tan Laguna leather makes this Dodge feel like a Ferrari - likely another contribution from the Maserati/Ferrari bloodlines that is in this Viper's family tree. But the snakeskin texture insert is a true American Viper touch. Just like any good Viper, the interior completely envelopes the driver, but now you also have a host of modern luxury features. This includes automatic climate control, power seats, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, and keyless entry/ignition. And you'll love the touchscreen infotainment unit that runs the backup camera, Bluetooth, sat nav, and a premium Harman Kardon 18-speaker stereo. A modern supercar also means modern safety features such as anti-lock brakes, dual front airbags, and side airbags.
The engine bay looks like they couldn't stuff any more power under the hood. Those big red valve covers are a Viper hallmark, so it's great to have in the latest generation. And the 645 horsepower from the fuel-injected 8.4-liter V10 firmly put this Viper in supercar territory as it swallows lesser cars whole. You get complete control of the big motor and its ferocious growl via a six-speed manual transmission. This is backed up by a large Brembo four-wheel disc brake package, power steering, super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a fully independent suspension that's ready for the road or racetrack. It's a total power package that will make this collectible also your track day favorite.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, a reproduction window sticker, maintenance records, and a car cover. This is likely the last Viper ever, and the production numbers were the lowest of the series in 2017. So you have a sophisticated style wrapped around speed and rarity. That's why you know you can't let this one slip away. Call today!!!
