2013 SRT Viper Gets Priced, Becomes Chrysler’s Most Expensive Car

We expected a lot of big things from the 2013 SRT Viper; a big engine, big horsepower, and a big personality. Chrysler delivered on all three counts, and if history was to be any indicator, we also expected a big price. Chrysler has not disappointed, giving the 2013 SRT Viper a price on par with its predecessors, while still maintaining its identity as an “affordable” American supercar.

Today, along with a huge crop of new pictures, Chrysler has released the pricing of the 2013 SRT Viper, which will cost you $97,395 before destination charges. Add another $1,995 for those destination charges, and you have a MSRP of $99,390 for the base model Viper.

Of course the “base” model Viper comes with a number of premium features, including the 8.4 liter V10 engine producing 640 horsepower and 600 ft-lbs of torque and a gorgeous new interior that is far superior to past Viper designs. This is an American exotic in every sense of the word, though if you’re willing to spend a bit more money, you can get even more track-day goodies for the new Viper.

Stepping up to the Viper GTS model will cost you $122,390 (after destination), but for that extra $20,000 you’ll get a two-mode suspension and an even more premium interior. YOu’ll also have the knowledge that you’ve joined an elite club of Viper GTS owners, as Chrysler has made it clear the new Viper is as much a supercar as it is a race car. For these prices, its a pretty affordable race car too.

September 10, 2012 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – The Chrysler Group’s Street and Racing Technology (SRT) brand today announced pricing for the two models of the all-new 2013 SRT Viper.

2013 SRT Viper

Manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 2013 SRT Viper model is $97,395 (excluding $1,995 destination)
The SRT Viper offers a blend of extreme performance and deliberate preservation of what has become the iconic DNA of the Viper to deliver a supercar that continues to bring the driver as close as possible to the machine

2013 SRT Viper GTS

MSRP for the 2013 SRT Viper GTS model is $120,395 (excluding $1,995 destination)
The SRT Viper GTS builds on the DNA of the SRT Viper model with more technologically advanced solutions, like two-mode active suspension, to allow this world-class GTS to find new capabilities on the track while also opening up its envelope as a more premium and mature evolution of the classic, extreme performance formula

Under the hood of both models is the all-aluminum, mid-front 8.4-liter V-10 engine that delivers 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world.

Both SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS models offer new interior and exterior designs incorporating premium materials. New exterior surfaces with aerodynamically functional details are beautifully integrated into the high-tech carbon fiber and aluminum skin, which helps produce a triple-digit weight reduction and a Viper best power-to-weight ratio.

On the inside, designers and engineers strived to rethink all touch points; and upgrade all material appointments and technologies.

Production of the iconic supercar will begin at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit – the home for Viper since 1995 – in November 2012. Dealer orders are expected to begin in mid-November 2012.
