History of the Dodge Viper ACR

The Viper ACR was introduced for the 1999 model year as the second generation of the Dodge Viper GTS. ACR, an acronym for American Club Racer, was created to be an aerodynamic monster, company officials said. Over multiple generations, the ACR was engineered to maximize capability, creating a reputation of aggressive aerodynamics and record-setting performance.

Dodge Viper ACR models combined the Viper’s V-10 power with advanced racing suspension, setting records at six racetracks in North America, including Laguna Seca, Sonoma Raceway and Virginia International Speedway. With its side-mounted exhaust pipes, the Dodge Viper ACR is known as one of the most capable track-focused American cars ever produced and stands as a symbol of American performance engineering, according to the release.
