Dodge Cupé en orden cronológico

The first Dodge Viper GTS-R, chassis #P1, was unvelied at Laguna Seca Raceway in August 1995 after five months of development. Named the "Mule", this car was a Chrysler engineering prototype and used for numerous tests. There is a version that the car raced in 1996 Daytona 24h as #97 by Canaska-Southwind but this info still needs of investigation. As of 2018, the #P1 was located in the Walter P. Chrysler Museum and looks like #97 in a white livery with blue stripes and Exxon inscription on the windshield.

Exterior color of the '96 GTS was limited to Viper Blue. However, of the total 1166 coupes built 3 cars were actually white. All were equipped with white painted wheels.

Key facts:

• The only model year when stripes on the Viper GTS would run through the rear license plate area.

После 5-летнего перерыва Dodge Viper вернулся на пост пейс-кара Indy 500. Это была новая модель GTS. По сравнению с предшественником появились металлическая крыша и полноценные стеклянные боковые окна. Как и RT/10, Viper GTS нуждался лишь в небольшой доработке для того, чтобы выполнять функции пейс-кара. За рулем этого 450-сильного купе находился Роберт Лутц - президент Chrysler в те годы.
