Introduced in 1992, the Dodge Viper established a new benchmark for raw American sports car performance. The original RT/10 paired an 8.0-liter V10 producing 400 horsepower with a six-speed manual transmission and a lightweight, minimalist two-seat design. Evolving through five generations with increasingly powerful V10 engines and more sophisticated engineering, the Viper became one of Dodge’s most recognizable performance cars and a modern American automotive icon.
