We first laid eyes on both the road-going and racing versions of the all-new SRT Viper GTS during their world premiere at the 2012 New York Auto Show in April.
Now we learn that SRT Motorsports recently completed the first on-track test of the 2013 SRT Viper GTS-R racer with team driver Marc Goossens at the Carolina Motorsports Park in preparation for its entry in the American Le Mans Series GT class later this year.
“The first on-track test of the new SRT Viper GTS-R went extremely well,” said Beth Paretta, Director of Marketing and Operations, SRT Brand and Motorsports. “Even after all the hard work by the team, it’s still incredible how fast everything has come together in the development process.”
Like its soon-to-be-launched production brethren, the SRT Viper GTS-R sports an 8.4-liter V10 engine, though the Chrysler Group has yet to release specific details.
You can watch the Viper GTS-R’s shakedown in the short video that follow below.
