Dodge Viper
The Dodge Viper is an American sports car that was manufactured by Dodge (by SRT for 2013 and 2014), a division of American car manufacturer Chrysler. First showcased in 1989 at the North American International Auto Show as a interpretative concept car of a modern-era AC Cobra, production of the two-seat sports car later began at New Mack Assembly Plant in 1991 and moved to Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in October 1995. Five generations of the Viper were developed from 1991 until 2017, with a brief hiatus in 2007 and between 2011 and 2012. Early in its production, the Viper gained a reputation for being an intimidating car to drive, producing high amounts of power and torque with no driver aids. Subsequent introductions of electronic assists and safety features allowed the car to become more accessible over time while simultaneously gaining performance, gradually moving upmarket into the supercar class. In 2014, the Viper was named number 10 on Cars.com's "American-Made Index" list, meaning 75% or more of its parts are manufactured in the United States. The Viper was discontinued in 2017 after approximately 32,000 were produced over 26 years of production.
