Chrysler SRT arm has introduced another exclusive version of the new 2014 Viper. Known as the 2014 SRT Viper TA (Time Attack), the street-legal model is built for enthusiast drivers who also like to go a little crazy on the track.
The 2014 SRT Viper TA builds on the ‘standard’ model features an extra boost of performance enhancements to get the most out of the Viper’s low center of gravity, 50/50 weight distribution and largest contact patch in the production car world.
“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” said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC. “We’re re-launching some of the fastest production-built cars that people can buy straight from the factory. 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.”
Power still comes from the huge 8.4 liter V10 making 640-hp with curb weight estimated at just 3,348 pounds.
Chrysler will only produce 33 units of the SRT Viper TA starting the third-quarter of 2013.
