Dodge Viper Coupe in, Highland Rim Speedway, Ridgetop, Tennessee.

Dodge Viper Coupe The Viper was initially conceived in late 1988 at Chrysler’s Advanced Design Studios. The first prototype was tested in January 1989. It debuted in 1991 with two pre-production models as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. Originally engineered to be a performance car, the Viper had no exterior-mounted door handles or key cylinders and no air conditioning, however, AC was added to the later models.

The second generation of the Viper, codenamed “SR II” was introduced in 1996. Later that same year, Dodge introduced the Viper GTS, a new coupé version of the Viper RT/10. Dubbed the “double bubble,” the roof featured slightly raised sections that looked like bubbles to accommodate the usage of helmets and taking design cues from the Shelby Daytona designed by Pete Brock.
Carroll Shelby, the automotive designer, race car driver, and entrepreneur, was a performance consultant for Dodge. However, he did not directly participate in the Viper’s design or creation because he was waiting for a heart transplant. Shelby, celebrated for his 1965 Shelby Mustangs, endorsed the Viper as a legitimate and fearsome successor to his 427 Cobra made legendary in the 1960s.
