The SRT Viper is preparing to prove what it is capable of this weekend at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The GTS-R version underwent intense testing over the past few weeks and we are pretty certain it will do great. It looks that while testing the GTS-R, SRT also put some time in working on a GT3-R version that will be raced in upcoming GT competitions.

The new GT3-R was developed by Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT->ke4431) Motorsports team and will borrow most of its technology from the GTS-R version, including the engine, chassis, suspension, electronics and aerodynamics.

The model is powered by a V-10 engine mated to a sequential transmission with a multi-disc race clutch and paddle shifters. The GT3-R will race on a set of lightweight wheels combined. Dragging this racing serpent to a halt are six-piston front brake calipers.

The new SRT Viper GT3-R->ke4220 is priced at $459,000. Customers can now place their orders and first deliveries will be made in late 2013.

SRT Viper GTS-R

The GTS-R was unveiled along with the new-generation SRT Viper and SRT specially prepared it to race the Le Mans Series. SRT will enter two GTS-R models with four drivers signed to drive it, including Dominik Farnbacher, from Ansbach, Germany; Marc Goossens from Geel, Belgium; Ryan Hunter-Reay from Dallas; and Kuno Wittmer from Montreal.

The GTS-R version is based on the road-going Viper, but with updates made for the track use.
