Dodge CEO Ralph Giles quickly announced their intent to offer a few special edition models of the Dodge Viper in 2010 – the last year of the current generation of Dodge’s supercar. One of those special editions was the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X, which combines the performance of the 2010 Viper ACR with the race-ready safety features of the Viper Competition Coupe and yesterday the very first 2010 ACR-X rolled off of the assembly line at Dodge’s Connor Ave plant.
This 640 horsepower Viper features a tuned version of the “normal” Viper V10, offering 40 more horsepower than the standard Viper ACR and the suspension components have been tuned to optimize the track capabilities of the ACR-X. The MSRP of the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X is $110,000 and although that is a healthy chunk of change, Dodge is offering the Dodge Viper Cup featuring only ACR-X Vipers and this ten-race series offers ACR-X buyers the chance to win back some of that money.
Dodge also used the press release announcing the first production ACR-X to remind us of the special edition ACR 1:33 models as well as the Voodoo edition Dodge Viper (which is limited to just 20 units). Dodge states that there will be pricing available on the entire Viper lineup later in the year and at the of today’s press release Dodge teases us with this comment: Additional special-edition models will be announced closer to their individual introductions – leading us to believe that even more limited edition Dodge Vipers will be offered in the final year of this generation of the Dodge Viper.
