Dodge Viper
The Viper was one of the most iconic sports cars that were ever built. The first generation of cars had no roof, no A/C, and no windows, and it was a pure sports car. But it became a surprise hit for Dodge and the brand kept the Viper in production for decades to come (via Car & Driver).
But the V10 engine that was under the hood was considered one of the best engines that Dodge ever built. The Viper didn’t compete with cars like the Corvette, instead, it was in a league of its own and Chrysler liked it like that.
