After years of slow sales and playing host to an ancient powertrain architecture, Dodge is now putting the proverbial axe to the neck of its most popular supercar, the Viper. Production is going to end next year, however that end won’t come until Dodge makes 215 special editions to commemorate the Viper’s demise. These special editions, revealed last month, were set to let the Viper leave with a bang. Now, simply one week later, Dodge has had an absolute coup and offered each one, some in simply a matter of minutes.
As per Dodge, the VooDoo II Edition ACR, the Snakeskin Edition GTC, the GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR, and a recently revealed Snakeskin ACR Edition, all sold in simply 2 days. All except for the 1:28 Edition ACR Viper, which sold out in simply 40 minutes of its order books beginning.
The 1:28 Edition ACR Viper commemorates the current production car single lap record of 1:28.65 set by champ driver Randy Pobst in a 2016 Dodge Viper ACR at the historic Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, in October 2015. The 1:28 Edition ACR includes a black outside, red ACR stripes, the Extreme Aero Plan, Carbon Ceramic brakes, and a host of 1:28 Edition badges.
While we highly question that these strong sales will have Dodge see that the Viper is worth maintaining, we do want they would. The Viper is a special automobile.
