V10 Dodge Viper GTS-R thrashed up Goodwood Hill

This Dodge Viper GTS-R, driven by Florent Moulin, is an absolute beast. With around 750PS from an 8.0-litre V10 engine it raced in GT1 and GT2 back in the early 2000s. At the 2022 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, Moulin attacked the Timed Shootout in his Playstation liveried beast.

One of the best looking GT cars from this era. Viper is one of the most iconic sportscars ever and a name that pretty much anyone recognizes.

[@luckyrashes]

YES. I feel in love with the red Orca

[@TheWestIsDead]

Ferrari 575 gtc was gorgeous too.

[@streetfighter4006]

Murcielago R-SV better

[@ramsihartmann9665]

You are goddamn right! 😁

[@sepg5084]

@@streetfighter4006 don't care. If i was a multi-millionaire i'd rather have the viper, it actually has racing pedigree and looked better than the murci. Murcielago did not accomplish anything near what the Viper GTSR did. Looks are subjective, and i prefer the Viper's looks. Performance is objective, and the Viper demolished other cars in its class.

Iconic machine. The proportions leave one in no doubt as to what's going on engine wise! Love it!

[@t3hgir]

You may be surprised at how much the racing GTS-R models had the engine pushed back nearly behind the front axle, further than stock Vipers. It allowed much better weight distribution and fully independent front suspension.

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

@t3hgir The Viper has always had fully independent front and rear suspension, with the engine shoved back quite literally as far as it could physically go.

[@t3hgir]

@@griffinfaulkner3514 while the stock vipers may have had independent suspension I'm absolutely certain the GTS-R project found that if they moved the engine back (requiring many other modifications obviously) they could improve performance. The Corvette racecars did a similar thing compared to production vettes.

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

@t3hgir That's probably down to the size of a sequential transmission compared to the T56 you'll find in a standard Viper. To be fair, I don't think there were any other transmissions available at the time that could handle that much torque, but it's absolutely massive when you put it next to a race gearbox. Just changing that out probably freed up a ton of room.

[@ZondaF355]

Vipers are such automotive legends...look into their racing success in World Sportscar and Lemans. Impressive

The pinnicle of performance without nanny aids. If you don't know how to modulate brakes, steering and acceleration properly, this is the car that will punish you for thinking you're better then you really are.

What a machine. Screams GT for me - either the first game by winning the actual GTS-R or close enough w/ racing car modifications. Loved the Team Oreca car in GT2.

Not to mention an Outright win against the prototypes! I remember as a kid, carving a big viper badge across the concrete on my parents drive way. One day a viper owner just happened to park outside my house and was stoked to see my work of art.

Memories of me on my PS2 on Gran Turismo 3 at Seattle Circuit

[@beast0339]

was never and I still am not really a fan of the big, burly, petrol-guzzling American muscle cars. *but* the Viper is one of those cars that's a notable exception for me. the aerodynamics and the way the car is built is such that it's actually one of the best handling muscle cars out there. and the pushrod V10 engine has a really nice and distinctive sound to it.

[@whybothertry8642]

On PS2 GT3 pretty sure this was the fastest tuned car on the game, or the standard viper, got 430km/h with it.

Did they do this with the restrictors removed from the car? I hope they did. And i hope someone also goes into this with an 8.4 liter Viper GT3R with no restrictors. I loved how the 90's GTSR looked as a kid, but the Gen-V Viper GTSR and GT3R as absolutely stunning (at least for me).

[@Ntwadumela84]

From what I understand, Florent Moulin painstakingly restores these race cars to their exact specifications, which would mean identical size restrictors to what it originally ran with in 2002 at Le Mans.

[@exnamekian]

amazing

[@mauricio951]

There's just something great about cars that are constantly trying to kill you. Porsche 911, Dodge Viper, Toyota MR2, etc. a classic matchup of man vs machine.

[@vaenii5056]

That hardly applies to Viper though. The roadgoing versions may have unpredictable handling characteristics, not sure, but basically every driver who has raced with Vipers will tell you they are pretty easy to drive. Even Ben Collins who recently had the chance to drive one used for 24 Hours of Le Mans described the car as surprisingly docile in the comment section. I mean they are front engine cars and seen lots of success in the hands of both professional and amateur drivers. Obviously they cannot behave that erratically or otherwise they wouldn't been as successful and popular. The V10 engine can produce lots of torque and power when unrestricted but that's about it - that alone does not make a car tricky to drive. Even in this video you can see some wheelspin but the driver still has complete confidence to push the car in Goodwood Festival. They were simply great race cars and I think they deserve to be respected as such. What comes to older rear and mid engine cars, those indeed can be tricky to drive, because especially inexperienced drivers can easily put themselves into position where the loss of control is sudden and nearly impossible to correct. Because of weight distribution they really want to swing around.

[@Bulborb1]

American Muscle! 💪🙌🇺🇸

[@F8Tributo]

Oh, but "American cars can't go around corners". Uh huh.....riiight!

[@HamsterWheelGaming]

Curious though, did they add the extra cilinders back for this showcase? I remember the LM version only having 8 cilinders, because that was the maximum amount of cilinders allowed during that era of Le Mans for the GT amateur and GT pro classes

[@Sequestor]

They only did that to the Nürburgring competitors. The5th generations(2013-2016) in the LM were were given special exemptions by limiting the Viper specifically 8.0L and had to limit rpms to something like 4500.

[@thatfordguy2268]

Most would hate to know that the V-10's in the Vipers were designed and engineered by Lamborghini...😏

[@zethloveless7238]

No it was not. It was recast in aluminum by Lamborghini because they were owned by Chrysler. Five working prototypes were contracted and Lamborghini came up with a design that had no consideration for low torque, produce-ability, or reliability. Lamborghini wanted the aluminum engine to be sleeveless which triggered off alarms for bore recession in the Chrysler engineers. Team Viper took the engines back and redesigned every part, but using inspiration from some of what Lamborghini did. So no not really bro.

[@daedalus_20v]

The Viper engine was designed, engineered, and prototyped as an iron block LA V8 with two added cylinders... by Chrysler. Lamborghini helped Dodge convert the iron block design to aluminum because of their experience (you can't just put aluminum into an iron mold and come out with something as strong). Lamborghini also helped design the water jackets for the Gen-1 heads. That's it. The Viper V10 is also not a "truck motor" before anyone brings up that "fact." A more accurate statement would be to say that many Lamborghini owners would hate knowing the company's current success in America is almost entirely due to Chrysler's ownership in the 90's, having created a US dealer network and consistent presence. 😏

[@zethloveless7238]

@@daedalus_20v thanks broski. Yea it was never a truck engine. 🙌

I’m guessing you would hate to know that it was actually Chrysler who designed and engineered this engine along with Lamborghini’s engines at the time.

@@Logan912 the engine was designed in italy by lamborghini engineers and the race car chassis was designed in france by oreca not very american

Viper and Cobra are the only American cars worth a damn. Everything else from that continent is just irrelevant.
