Aiming to satisfy track enthusiasts with deep pockets, the Chrysler Group and its SRT arm formally presented the new limited edition 2014 Viper TA (for Time Attack) in Manhattan today.
Only 33 examples of the TA will be built and sold from the third quarter this year, all finished in the special “TA Orange” exterior paint color developed exclusively for this model that is based on the entry-level Viper adding a bevy of performance goods to better its handling.
Among other upgrades, the new Viper TA sports a uniquely tuned and upgraded specifically for on-track usage suspension that features a two-mode Bilstein DampTronic system, a carbon fiber x-brace under the hood, carbon fiber front and rear spoilers, lighter wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa rubber and stickers instead of badges (to save weight).
While SRT’s more extreme interpretation of the latest Viper retains the stock model’s all-aluminum 8.4-liter V10 rated at 640 horsepower, the chassis and aerodynamic changes promise to greatly improve the car’s on-track times.
