The new 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 offers more performance, what fans crave: kick-in-the-pants, throw-back-in-the-seat power, with benchmark braking, world-class ride and handling, combined a race-inspired interior and exterior fat.
While every SRT vehicle offers balanced overall performance, the heart and soul of the new 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is its remarkable power train. For 2008, SRT ups the ante with a new 8.4-liter aluminum V-10 engine an astonishing 600 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque generated.

Standout Powertrain:
In cooperation with specialists from McLaren Performance Technologies and Ricardo, Inc., SRT engineers began by following the racer the basic formula for more power: bigger displacement, more efficient breathing and higher engine speed.
Deep-V The new aprons Dodge Viper SRT10-10 aluminum engine block was for a 1-millimeter larger bore revised, raising the displacement to 8.4 liters from 8.3 liters. The two-piece intake manifold combines with aluminum bottom smooth runners for better air circulation, mounted on an aluminum upper plenum. A revised air box with a low-restriction filter sends air through a dual electronic throttle into the intake module.
Used gases exit through tubular air-gap headers, which not only improve exhaust flow, but also a rapid light-off catalyst for a better control of emissions. The headers’ stamped stainless steel body acts as a thermal heat shield for the individual stainless steel runners that contribute to better flow separation and exhaust tuning.

World-class ride and handling
The ride and handling of the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is a race bred, fully independent, four-wheel suspension featuring lightweight, high-performance aluminum control arms and knuckles, coil-over dampers defined subdued light.

Bold Exterior Styling:
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 remains available in two body styles – Roadster and Coupe. Both feature a dramatic new hood with a larger, more efficient hood for air induction and larger, functional hood grills under a greater cooling effect on the facilitation of stronger 8.4-liter, 600 hp V-10 engine.
The hardtop makes Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe, with its “double bubble” styling it even more torsionally stiff than the Roadster. The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe offers increased downforce and high speed stability with its sloping roofline and deck-lid spoiler. Plus, the Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe an additional 6.25 cubic meters of the trunk than the Viper SRT10 Roadster, for a total of 14.65 cubic meters. The roof and headliner structure offer more room to accommodate a safety cage, while as much leeway as possible.
