"The Dodge Viper SRT-10 is the boldest, fastest, most powerful vehicles in its segment and simply screams outrageous passion and pure performance and we've got the first two in the UAE," said Craig Hardie, Sales and Marketing Manager, Chrysler Jeep® and Dodge, Trading Enterprises, a member of the Al Futtaim Group of companies. "It offers everything the automotive enthusiast could ever want, dramatic styling, extreme performance and an incredible racing legacy."

The Dodge Viper SRT-10's styling cues include lowered hood lines, swept-back wings, and deep-cut side scallops — reminiscent of the original, yet giving it a refined look. A bi-fold clamshell top with a single centre latch makes the Viper SRT-10 a true convertible.

From behind the wheel in the Viper SRT-10's race-derived, two-seat cockpit, the driver looks out over a highly functional, performance-oriented instrument panel with a bold, centre-mounted tachometer and a 220-mph speedometer. A traditional pushbutton starter at the driver's fingertips evokes authentic sports car memories.

But what is visible on the outside and from the cockpit is only part of the ultimate sports car package, as the Viper SRT-10's true performance is defined beneath the skin.

Underneath the hood is an aluminum-block 8.3-litre, 505 cu. in. V-10 engine packing 500 horsepower and 525 lb.-ft. of torque. A whopping 90 per cent of the torque is delivered from 1,500 to 5,600 rpm. This gives the Viper staggering performance of 0-100 kph in less than four seconds, a top speed of 190 mph, and 0-100-0 mph in less than 13 seconds.

World class stopping power comes courtesy of Brembo 44/40 dual opposing piston fixed front calipers with 14-inch rotors and Brembo 42/38 dual opposing rear calipers with 14-inch rotors result in world-class stopping power.

Available in Viper Red, and Viper Black at Dhs 330,000 the Viper comes with a full three-year/60,000 kilometre manufacturers warranty and the after-sales service that all Trading Enterprises vehicle owners have come to expect.

"The Dodge Viper SRT-10 is exactly what an American sports car is supposed to be," added Hardie. "With a big powerful engine, rear wheel drive, great handling and stopping power, it offers not only stand out from the crowd street appeal but the ultimate in driving fun."
