Viper GTS-R the Snake is back

Introducing the new Viper GTS-R

Bruce Mbingeleli

The long awaited GTS-R is back with a bang this year, a factory-backed Viper will race on the world stage again. Based on the all-new 2013 Viper, the Viper GTS-R remerges in 2012. The competition-spec 2013 Viper will compete this year as part of two-car team in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), the same series that Viper dominated in 2000.

The new GTS-R is built for three things: speed, reliability and durability. The GTS-R is all about winning endurance races such as the Petit Le Mans, a 10-hour race at Road Atlanta in Georgia and the 24-hour of Le Mans in France. It’s also built to run shorter races in the ALMS, generally two hours in duration. The GTS-R will run in the GT class against Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and Corvette amongst others.
