As reported by Dodge
Auburn Hills, Mich. , - The 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X is "the" ultimate special-edition model of America's ultimate sports car.
Combining the best performance attributes of the record-setting, street-legal Dodge Viper American Club Racer (ACR) and the safety equipment of championship-winning Dodge Viper Competition Coupe, the Viper ACR-X is powered by the SRT-developed 8.4-liter V-10 engine, equipped with factory headers and a low-restriction exhaust system, that produces 640 horsepower (40 more than the production model) and 605 lb.-ft. of torque (45 more than the production model).
The suspension also is tuned and upgraded specifically for on-track usage with unique springs, two-way adjustable shocks and adjustable sway bar links.
Curb weight is a full 160 pounds lighter (compared with the standard-production Viper) to take on even the most challenging road course. Additional aerodynamic upgrades including quad-dive planes and underbody ducts improve downforce, while enhancing stability and significantly improving grip in high-speed cornering.
Dodge built 25 units of the turn-key, non-street legal race car. All 25 have been purchased exclusively through Viper Race Headquarters and many will be making their on-track debuts in July 2010 as part of the newly formed Dodge Viper Cup series.
"The Dodge Viper ACR-X is a dream come true for road-racing enthusiasts who are looking for outstanding performance and safety," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO, Dodge Brand. "This ACR-X is designed and built for drivers who demand serious speed and want to compete in our ultimate American sports car."
