Viper GTS adds "Anodized Carbon" for 2014

The 'Anodized Carbon Special Edition' package for the SRT Viper GTS will be a short-run exclusive, limited to just 50 units.

The main part of the special edition package is a new metallic matte exterior colour, used for the first time by the Chrysler Group, to add to the exclusivity of the SRT Viper. Chrysler says the metallic finish adds depth while the dark matte colour amplifies the Viper's sinister quality.

"We've been waiting for the right time to use this striking new exterior colour at the Chrysler Group and as the flagship for the SRT brand, the Viper is the perfect vehicle to showcase this combination of finishes and details to create such a unique look," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO - SRT Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC.

"The Viper's unique, hand built and hand painted process allow us to create these ultra-exclusive special series builds. At SRT, the art of the American exotic supercar is every bit as important as its performance, and this car is for the enthusiasts who feel that way too."

In addition to the paint, the Anodized Carbon Special Edition package includes: Black Vapor Chrome five-spoke "Rattler" wheels; Gloss Black GTS badge; Satin Black exhaust bezel; Anodized Carbon fuel filler door; orange brake calipers; carbon fibre brake ducts and rear applique.

Interior changes for the limited edition include Alcantara wrapping for the headliner, door bolsters and knee blockers, with orange accent stitching on the Nappa leather-wrapped door trim, centre console and instrument panel. Orange stitching is also used to highlight the Nappa leather and Alcantara seats, door panels and instrument panel.

Carbon fibre accents are added throughout the centre console stack, door panels and steering wheel, with the finishing touch being an exclusive carbon GTS badge on the dashboard.

Production of the 50 Viper GTS models with the Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package begins in January, 2014 at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit.

A Viper GTS featuring the new special edition package is currently being shown on the floor at the Los Angeles Auto Show, November 22 - December 1.
