February 9, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  Since its inception in 1992, the Dodge Viper has proven to be a truly exotic and distinctive American supercar, proudly carrying its title as the flagship high-performance machine of the Dodge brand. 

Building on its exclusivity and undeniable spot among the high-performance elite, the classic car experts at Hagerty have named the 2016 Dodge Viper SRT model to its annual Hot List of future collectible vehicles. The Hagerty Group, based in Traverse City, Mich., is the world’s leading insurance provider for classic vehicles and host to the largest network of classic car owners.

"The Viper checks all the boxes for a future collectible,” McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, said. “Limited-volume, race-bred pedigree, iconic styling and raw power make it a natural choice for the 2016 Hot List.”

The 2016 Hagerty Hot List represents the most collectible cars priced less than $100,000 available for purchase today. To be selected by the Hagerty experts for their annual Hot List, a vehicle must deliver the joy of driving today, continue to further every gearhead’s love of driving and become collectible in the future.

“The Dodge Viper is an iconic, hand-built American supercar with a 645-horsepower hand-built aluminum V-10 engine, a timeless and hand-crafted body design with a strong racing pedigree and very limited production over its nearly 25-year lifespan,” Tim Kuniskis,  Head of Passenger Car Brands–Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA – North America, said. “The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR’s unprecedented 13 track records add to the legend, and the exclusive 1-of-1 program with 25 million unique build configurations helps make it an exclusive collectible among today’s supercars.”   

About the Dodge Viper
The fifth generation of the Dodge Viper made its highly anticipated return to the high-performance sports car market in late 2012 as a 2013 model. The flagship performance machine arrived with more power and performance, superior craftsmanship, new technologies and creature comforts. Powering the 2016 Viper is an all-aluminum 8.4-liter V-10 engine that delivers 645 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque—the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world.

Standard on the newest Viper are safety features that include electronic multistage stability control, traction control and a new four-channel anti-lock brake system.

The exclusive ”1-of-1” customization program enables customers to have more than 25 million build combinations to create their one-of-a-kind “Snake” from the ground up. With 8,000 exterior color options, 24,000 custom stripe colors, 11 wheel options, 16 interior trims and seven aero packages, three brake packages and four suspension options, there are more than 25 million ways for buyers to customize their one-of-a-kind Dodge Viper.

The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR (American Club Racer) has taken the performance car world by storm by becoming the indisputable “ultimate street-legal race car” with more track records than any production car in the world — a total of 13 road course lap records as certified by the Sports Car Club of America. Since 1992, Dodge and SRT have built approximately 30,000 Vipers at the Mack Avenue Assembly (1992–1994) and Conner Avenue Assembly Plant (1995–current), both in Detroit.

Dodge
For 112 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge. Today, that legacy roars louder than ever in the next-generation lineup of Dodge, America’s performance brand.

The next-gen Dodge Charger multi-energy lineup features:
  • the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger Scat Pack, powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo SIXPACK high-output (H.O.) engine — the most powerful Hurricane engine in production
  • the SIXPACK-powered standard-output (S.O.) 420-horsepower Dodge Charger R/T with standard all-wheel drive and the highest entry-level horsepower of any muscle car 
  • the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car in the all-electric 670-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack
Every Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive and offers two-door coupe or four-door sedan configurations — because with performance comes choice.

The Dodge lineup is also fueled by the fastest American gas-powered SUV ever, the 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, powered by the legendary supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, now available in all 50 states. The new Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak breaks free from convention with the three-row SUV, unlocking more than 13 million potential customization combinations. The 360-horsepower 5.7-liter Durango GT HEMI AWD remains the most affordable AWD V-8 in the industry.
