What is the fastest way to launch a special edition model? SRT thinks it’s combining two previous special editions, more specifically the Viper Anodized Carbon Special Package and the Viper Time Attack Group.

The result is the SRT Viper Anodized Carbon Special Edition with Time Attack Group package. As you probably know, SRT will only build 50 units of the Anodized Carbon Special Edition, 10 of which (numbers 41 to 50) will also carry the Time Attack Group package. A numbered dash plaque identifying each of the SRT Viper Anodized Carbon Edition vehicles also is part of the package.

The Time Attack Group includes a carbon fiber rear deck lid spoiler and two-piece front corner splitters which provide a total of 339 pounds (154 kg) of downforce at 150 mph (241 km/h). Also included are two-mode Bilstein dampers specifically tuned for optimal on-track performance and identifiable by their unique orange springs.

Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, matte black lightweight forged-aluminum Sidewinder wheels and solid sway bars contribute to more capable handling, while track-duty two-piece Brembo brake rotors, adapted from the 2010 Viper ACR-X race car, make the brakes more resistant  to fading. Street and Race Mode suspension settings offer firmer damping than the Viper GTS.

The Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package features Metallic Matte Black and satin surface finishes with contrasting Satin Black Vapor exhaust bezels, fuel-filler door, and carbon brake ducts and a rear applique.

On the inside, the Alcantara headliner, Alcantara-wrapped knee blockers and door bolsters provide interior surface texture contrast, while gunmetal bezels, orange vent accents, and carbon-fiber trim further accent the interior. The Nappa leather and Alcantara-wrapped sport seats feature orange stitching.
