Auburn Hills, MI -- April 17, 2015:
For enthusiasts ready to buy and for those who just want to dream, the
Dodge brand is launching its new Dodge Viper GTC Customizer, available at
Viper.
The Viper GTC Customizer offers Viper lovers of all stripes the chance to
design their personalized version of the only hand-built performance
supercar.
The Dodge Viper GTC Customizer lets
enthusiasts create their own virtual-reality vision of the Dodge Viper
through dynamic elements that deliver a unique online design experience.
Starting inside the Design Studio of the customizer, users
have more than 25 million build combinations to create their one-of-a-kind
Snake from the ground up. With 8,000 exterior color options, 24,000 custom
stripe colors, 11 wheel options, 16 interior trims and seven aero packages,
three brake packages and four suspension options there are more than 25
million ways for buyers to customize their one-of-a-kind Dodge
Viper. Users can “sit” in the virtual cockpit and take an
up-close tour of all 16 available trim options. To help buyers confirm
their color choice, Dodge will provide a complimentary Viper speed form
replica so they can confirm their color selections before their Viper is
built.
Once the design of the perfect Viper is complete, users
can place the vehicle in their own lifestyle environments to preview how
their custom Viper GTC will look in the real world.
Users also can share their custom supercar designs with family and friends.
Images may be downloaded in various resolutions to share on social media or
used as wallpaper on phones, tablets or computers. A PDF file of the image,
complete with all technical information selected, can be downloaded —
an especially useful tool for those ready to purchase. Designers can also
share their custom Viper on the GTC Inspiration Gallery for other
enthusiasts to appreciate and enjoy.
The 2015 Dodge
Viper features a starting U.S. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price
(MSRP) of $84,995. For a starting U.S. MSRP of $94,995, the new 2015 custom
Viper GTC model features all the content of the new GT model and adds the
ability to customize a ‘1 of 1’ design from 25 million possible
build combinations, a personalized instrument panel badge, Concierge
Service and Viper Ambassador Owner’s Portal with exclusive sharable
content to track the build of the car.
The new 1-of-1
customization program is available exclusively for customer orders (not for
dealer stock). No two customers can order the same configuration, including
color, in the same model year. Dealers started taking orders in February.
Production of the 1 of 1 Vipers started at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant
in Detroit in April.
About Dodge
Viper
The fifth generation of the Dodge Viper SRT made its
highly anticipated return to the high-performance sports car market in late
2012 as a 2013 model. The flagship performance machine of FCA US LLC
arrived with more power and performance, superior craftsmanship, new
technologies and creature comforts. Powering the 2015 Viper is an
all-aluminum 8.4-liter V-10 engine that delivers 645 horsepower and 600
lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports
car engine in the world. Standard on the newest Viper are safety features
that include electronic multistage stability control, traction control and
a new four-channel anti-lock brake system (ABS). Since 1992, Dodge and SRT
have built approximately 30,000 Vipers at the Mack Avenue Assembly Plant
(1992 - 1994) and Conner Avenue Assembly Plant (1995 - current), both in
Detroit.
