The Origin of the Original: The Dodge Viper GTS
The model car in 1/18 scale, made by Bburago, is based on the famous Dodge Viper GTS. This generation of the Viper, produced from 1996 to 2002, was a symbol of American muscle power and pure performance. The first Dodge Viper, introduced in 1992, was the result of a collaboration and visionary ideas of Chrysler Chief Bob Lutz and Chief Designer Tom Gale. The GTS, which hit the market in the late 90s, proved to be a highlight of this design and engineering art. In a time when songs like "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and major political changes like the re-election of Bill Clinton as US president were happening, the Dodge Viper GTS stood out as a striking representative of the automotive world.
Technical Specs of the Dodge Viper GTS
The Dodge Viper GTS was equipped with an 8.0-liter V10 engine that delivered an impressive 450 horsepower. Its top speed was around 180 mph (290 km/h), and it could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in just over four seconds. The vehicle featured a long hood, pronounced fenders, and a very distinctive side profile that emphasized the sporty and aggressive character of the car. Such a design provided a distinctive look that set the Dodge Viper GTS apart from other sports cars of its time. The chassis and fine-tuning of the GTS significantly contributed to its excellent handling.
