2014 SRT Viper Time Attack
SRT is continuing to target circuit driving aficionados with its Viper. Following the recent launch of the optional Track Pack, a new Time Attack special edition has just been unveiled.
Due to debut at the New York International Auto Show later this month, the Viper TA features an upgraded chassis but it remains completely street legal.

Among the modifications are firmer dampers, stiffer springs, race-derived anti-roll bars and an aero package that includes a front splitter and rear spoiler. Tweaks to the Brembo brakes promise better heat dissipation under heavy use and, as a finishing touch, the TA’s structural engine bay cross-brace is made from carbon fibre instead of the usual aluminium.
One thing that’s unchanged is the 8.4 litre V10 engine. However, with 640 bhp (477 kW / 648 PS) and a substantial 813 Nm (600 lb/ft) of torque, its output isn’t exactly lacking.

According to Ralph Gilles, President and CEO of SRT: “The new 2014 SRT Viper TA is being engineering for the dedicated track enthusiast, who still wants to drive to the track and take their hobby to the next level.
“Our engineers revised the suspension settings to refocus the Viper specifically for track duty, using a blend of components from the GTS and the SRT models, add in the extensively developed aero package and the new Time Attack package is born. We’re not only saluting the existing capabilities of our current models, we’re also targeting another niche in our customer base with a tremendously capable track machine.”
Only 33 examples of the SRT Viper TA are going to be produced and all will come with Crusher Orange paintwork.
An MSRP has yet to be confirmed, but it’s expected to be around $120,000. Customer deliveries are scheduled to begin during the third quarter of 2013.
