Dodge Viper RT/10: Hero of the Past

It's too easy to say: bucket list material.. But this one was really on it, until now! That headline alone could be the entire article. This Dodge Viper has an 8 liter V10. And that delivers a driving experience that matches what you expect with an 8 liter V10. Unpolished, so rough around the edges. But above all. A lot of brute force! Chrysler CEO Bob Lutz wanted to build a new sports car in the line of the Shelby Cobra. You look at the result. The Dodge Viper drawn by Tom Gale. You may know that name. Because he also has another icon to his name. The Lamborghini Diablo. That Carroll Shelby link Bob Lutz had in mind was confirmed by Shelby when he got behind the wheel of the first Viper when it was used as a pace car during the Indianapolis 500. That V10 we started with, it was developed for the Dodge Ram. That cast iron block could of course not be spooned into a sports car unchanged, so the help of Lamborghini was called in. At the time, the Italians fell under the Chrysler concern. They made sure there was an aluminum version of the V10. The technology turned out to be very solid. Variations on the coupe version introduced in 1995 won the 24 hour races at Le Mans, Daytona and the Nurburgring. https://thecollectables.nl/dodge-vipe...
