“Bringing our street-legal Dodge Viper ACR back is going to arm our track enthusiasts with the ultimate weapon to
dominate road courses across the country,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO — Dodge and SRT Brands, FCA — North

Originally introduced in 1999 and last available for the 2010 model year, the Viper ACR has a long-standing legacy as
the ultimate street-legal track car for club racing. The new 2016 model gives a nod to that performance story with
significant aerodynamic and suspension upgrades, new Carbon Ceramic brakes with six-piston callipers and high-performance
tyres specifically designed for ACR. Standard equipment highlights include:
- Delivers ultimate in stopping performance with unprecedented brake fade resistance through ACR-exclusive Carbon
Ceramic Matrix 15-inch two-piece rotors and six-piston front callipers from Brembo®
- Unique track suspension features 10-setting, double-adjustable, Bilstein coil-over racing shocks and unique race
alignment delivering up to 3 inches of suspension height adjustment for fine-tuning corner weight
- The latest race tyre compound technology with massive Kumho® Ecsta V720 high-performance tyres (295/25/19 front,
355/30/19 rear), designed and developed specifically for the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR, delivers laps times that are 1.5
seconds faster than off-road only race tyres
- Combination of suspension, aero treatment and ACR-specific tyres delivers sustainable 1.5 g cornering during
high-speed turns
- Lightweight carpet, minimal three speaker audio and manual seats designed to manage weight and maintain optimal 50/50
weight distribution
- Powered by iconic, hand-built 8.4-litre V-10 engine rated at 645 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque – the most
torque of any naturally aspirated sports-car engine in the world
- Unique Alcantara hand-crafted interior to assist driver stability under high G-loading features iconic ‘ACR’ dash
badge and accent stitching
- Optional ACR Extreme Aero Package (late availability) delivers nearly 1 ton of peak downforce at top speed through
massive adjustable dual-element carbon fibre rear wing, rear carbon fibre diffuser, unique SRT bonnet with removable
louvres, detachable extension for the front splitter and additional dive planes
Production of the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR will begin in third quarter 2015 at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant. Vehicles
will start arriving in American dealerships in the third quarter of 2015.
