The Chrysler Group and its SRT arm, aiming to satisfy track enthusiasts with deep pockets, formally presented the new limited edition 2014 Viper TA (which stands for Time Attack) in Manhattan on Wednesday, March 27th. All finished in the special “TA Orange” exterior paint color developed exclusively for this model that is based on the entry-level Viper adding a bevy of performance goods to better its handling, only 33 units of the TA will be built and sold from the third quarter this year.
The new Viper TA sports a uniquely tuned and upgraded specifically for on-track usage suspension that features a two-mode Bilstein BampTronic system, carbon fiber front and rear spoilers, a carbon fiber x-brace under the hood, lighter wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa rubber and stickers instead of badges (to save weight), among other upgrades. Although SRT’s more extreme interpretation of the latest Viper retains the stock model’s all-aluminum 8.4-liter V10 rated at 640 horsepower, the chassis and aerodynamic changes promise to greatly improve the car’s on-track times.
