Dodge Viper ACR (2016)
The last generation Viper was done in 2017 due to slow sales but a car like the Viper wouldn’t go without a fight. Dodge presented the 2016 Viper ACR, the best and one of the fastest track-ready cars in the world. ACR Vipers have always been the purist’s dream, and specially prepared road/track cars with immense possibilities, sublime handling, and performance (via Motor Trend).
The 2016 version was all that and more. It featured a unique aerodynamic package that delivered tons of downforce. This allowed the Viper ACR to break several records for production cars, including the one on the famous Nürburgring track. In magazine testing, the ACR Viper beat almost all Ferraris, Porsches, or Lamborghinis. Enthusiasts claimed this was the ultimate American performance car. The secret of the ACR Viper was a slightly more powerful engine with 645 HP, significant weight loss, perfectly balanced chassis, race tires, and powerful Brembo brakes. Unfortunately, at $120,000, it wasn’t cheap by any means, but it was worth every penny.
