Viper GTS Launch Edition

SRT has revealed the new 2013 Viper GTS Launch Edition.

Finished in the now traditional Viper coupé colour scheme of blue with twin full-length white stripes, it also features special polished five-spoke alloy wheels and unique badges.

On the inside, there’s a dash plaque that displays the build number, black leather upholstery and an Alcantara headlining.

As with the regular 2013 Viper models - which go on sale later this year - power comes from an 8.4 litre V10 engine that develops 640 bhp (477 kW / 648 PS) and a colossal 813 Nm (600 lb/ft) of torque. To help harness the performance potential that those outputs suggest, stability control, anti-lock brakes and traction control are all fitted as standard.

Pricing for the Viper GTS Launch Edition has yet to be confirmed.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
