Dodge Viper VX (5th Generation)

2013–2017 · VX · coupe

The VX (2013-2017) is the fifth and final generation of the Viper, briefly badged as an SRT before returning to the Dodge nameplate. The 8.4L V10 made 645 hp by the end of the run, sent through a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual to a limited-slip rear axle. ACR variants pushed downforce numbers that set lap records at multiple US circuits. Hand-built at Detroit's Conner Avenue Assembly Plant, where production ended on 2017-08-17 and the plant was closed. No direct successor has been announced.

Watch out: Owner reports of high under-hood and side-sill temperatures continuing the Viper tradition of cooking interior trim and rear tires. The TR6060 manual is durable but again the clutch is unforgiving for new owners. ACR aero hardware and the carbon ceramic brakes on later cars are extremely expensive to replace; budget accordingly. Slow sales toward the end mean some 2016 and 2017 VINs sat on dealer lots into 2018-2019.
