The Viper moniker was the pride of America, as it was the country's most potent and loved sportscar. First introduced in 1991 as a roadster, the Viper evolved as a true sportscar with a massive V-10 engine under its hood. Before Audi's takeover, Lamborghini was a part of the Chrysler Corporation and helped to develop the V-10 engine. The Chevy Corvette had it all before the Viper came along. Still, it suddenly came under threat as the latter emerged as a more desirable sportscar with more performance. The SRT brand manufactured the fifth-gen Viper from 2013-2014, following a three-year hiatus due to its parent company's bankruptcy. It's been five years since this legendary sportscar left the industry. But if you miss it dearly, there is a 2015 iteration of the Viper which is up for auction on Bring a Trailer.

The final and the most aggressive iteration of the Viper

This single-owner Viper SRT is colored in Billet Silver Metallic and is in great shape with a scuff on the front bumper cover, along with a couple of chips on two wheels. The exterior features bi-xenon headlights, a front splitter, side exhaust vents, ventilated hood, a carbon-fiber rear spoiler, and LED taillights. The sides expose the 18-inch Rattler wheels at the front and 19-inch wheels at the rear. In addition, a pair of tapered exhaust tips are visible on the sides. For taming the beast, the Viper SRT comes with four-wheel discs with Brembo calipers.

Similar to the exterior, the cabin looks gorgeous with luscious leather seats and Alcantara trimmed dashboard. In addition, the door panels also receive the Alcantara finish. Notable cabin features include a semi-digital instrument console, an 8.4-inch touchscreen display, a 900-watt Harman Kardon audio unit, automatic climate control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The digital odometer reads 3,000 miles, relatively low mileage for a seven-year-old sportscar.

America’s V-10-powered sportscar

This 2015 iteration of the Viper SRT is powered by a massive 8.4-liter naturally aspirated V-10, which puts out 645 horses and 600 pound-feet of twist. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and power is sent to the rear wheels only. With so much power under the hood, the final Viper can sprint to 60 mph from standstill in 3.5 seconds and achieve a top speed of 206 mph.

While the engine layout stayed the same throughout the Viper’s life, the capacity has increased from 8.0-liter to 8.4-liters. One of the known issues of the earlier Vipers was its stability on the road. However, the 2015 model year has electronic stability control, launch control, and ABS. The introductory price of the 2015 Viper SRT was about $85,000, which could go above $150,000 when the bidding ends. So check out Bring a Trailer, and place your bid before you miss your chance.
