The Dodge Viper GTS, a true American muscle car designed for ridiculous speeds in extroardinary style. The car is equally a babe as well as a police magnet, and a thorough bred racer all in one. The 8-litre V10 will throw you and your passenger back into the bucket seats and send you hurtling forward when the loud pedal is pushed down. The design was based on Ferrari 250 GTO and Shelby's Cobra Daytona Coupe, the car took three years of work to design and perfect, launched in May 1990. One year later, the Viper RT/10 led the field at the 1991 Indianapolis 500 as the Official Pace Car. It's devastatingly fast and gorgeous to look at, a testiment to quality design and construction of Chrysler Corporation.
