The V10 powered sports car known as the Dodge Viper is made by Chrysler’s Dodge division. The car began its production in the year 1992 at the New Mack Assembly factory. Three years later, production of the two seat super car would be moved to the Conner Avenue Assembly factory.

The Dodge Viper, in addition to its numerous spin off vehicles, has been featured in several films, music videos, television programs, and video games.

The Dodge Viper is a futuristic version of the classical American muscle vehicle. While many individuals insist that the inspiration for the Dodge Viper came from the AC Cobra, the final version of the Dodge Viper was in fact a lot bigger than this iconic vehicle. In the end, the comparisons to the AC Cobra were viewed as a marketing exercise, despite the fact that Carroll Shelby was in fact involved with the Dodge Viper’s initial design process.

The initial conception of the Dodge Viper can be traced back to the year 1988, where the plan was hatched at the Advanced Design Studios of the Chrysler Corporation. The following February, it was suggested by Chrysler president Bob Lutz that the company should produce a modern day version of the Cobra.
