Facts About the True American Muscle Car

The two-seat Dodge Viper first appeared at the North American Auto Show in 1989 after the Chrysler president at the time, Bob Lutz mentioned to his design crew that Chrysler needed a Cobra-like sports car in their lineup. It took less than a year for Chrysler’s design team to make a clay mockup and then build a sheet metal concept car that wowed the public at the car show. That wowing really worked because in 1990 the engineering put the Viper into production mode and created a prototype from which the production cars would be made. In early 1992, (those guys worked fast!) the first Viper shipments were delivered to dealers across the country.
