The 2013 SRT Viper and Viper GTS are sure to wow the crowds at this year's New York Auto Show, but they won’t be alone as the street-legal versions are joined at Chrysler’s stand by the GTS-R racing model.
Almost all race fans know that the previous generation Vipers have a long history on the tracks, which begun back in 1996 with the original GTS-R that won the 1997-1999 FIA GT championships along with five international GT titles and was the first-ever production-based American car to win the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2000.

Probably the most teased, and awaited, car of this year’s New York Auto Show has been officially unveiled. The 2013 SRT Viper, as it will be known from now on, was launched earlier today at the Big Apple in two flavors: “plain vanilla” Viper and Viper GTS.
After production stopped in 2010, there were reports that the Viper would not be resurrected, which the group later dismissed. Nevertheless, for a while its future was shaky, a fact acknowledged by the company’s executives.
“Beyond being the flagship for the new SRT brand, the launch of the 2013 Viper proves that we simply would not let the performance icon of the Chrysler Group die”, said SRT boss Ralph Gilles.
“Willed to live on by a very special group of performance enthusiasts inside the company and across Viper Nation, this SRT team under our new leadership was challenged to not just continue the legendary Viper, but to create a world-class supercar that would showcase the very best we have to offer.”
It’s hard to believe, but it's been 20 years since the Chrysler Group rolled out the first Dodge Viper sports car back in 1992.
Two generations later, we're waiting for the Detroit automaker to turn the next page in the model's history with the presentation of the all-new 2013 Viper that will be rebranded as an SRT model, at the New York Auto Show later today.
To remind us of how the Viper came to be and how it has evolved over the years, the Chrysler Group has released a new video, which you can watch right after the break.
