THIS IS HARD news, Dodge has just announced that it will produce its last Viper. To “celebrate” the event Dodge is producing a special GTS Final Edition model to commemorate the last 2002 Viper Coupes to roll off the line later this year at DaimlerChrysler's Conner Avenue Assembly Plant, USA.
The coupes, which will represent the last 360 cars built on the 2002 Dodge Viper platform, will be the first production Vipers to wear a Viper red with dual stone white striped paint scheme. The white over red theme was the same one that carried the Viper GTS-R/T race car to motorsports acclaim with an outright win at the 2000 Daytona 24-hour sports car racing event and consecutive American Le Mans Series manufacturers championships.
The Dodge Viper GTS Final Edition is expected to hold special appeal to sports car enthusiasts and Viper collectors as a landmark in the product's history.
Production will begin in May and run until the start of 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 production later this summer. Next year's Viper SRT-10 will be available exclusively in convertible form.
