Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division, in association with the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer and the American Le Mans Series, auctioned off the very first production 2013 SRT Viper GTS this past weekend. All proceeds from the winning bid of $300,000 will go to children and families dealing with the challenges of pediatric cancer.
The resurrected Viper boasts an 8.4L V10 engine that delivers an estimated 640 horsepower and 600 pounds-feet of torque. It also features superior craftsmanship, new technologies and creature comforts.
Production will begin later this year at the historic home of the Viper – Detroit's Conner Avenue assembly plant. The automaker will announce pricing closer to this date.
"We've enjoyed a lot of attention since showing the all-new SRT Viper to the world just three months ago in New York; and now being able to use some of that interest in our flagship supercar to generate support for this deserving charity is simply outstanding," said Beth Paretta, Director of Marketing and Operations – SRT Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC.
