Star has released its sales results for the first quarter of 2024, and they show it Dodge Viper it was sold. Two were sold last year, both in the last quarter of the year.

Dodge Viper: sales of the “zombie car” were recorded in the first quarter of 2024

The third generation of Dodge Viper went on sale in 2013, produced at the Conner Avenue Assembly plant in Detroit until August 2017. The car had a formidable appearance and an 8.4-liter V-10 engine that produced 640 horses, reaching 100 kilometers per hour in 3.5 seconds. Power was later increased to 645 hp in 2015.

The third generation Viper failed to match the results of previous generations. 2014 was its best year yet with 760 units sold, down from the more than 1,000 achieved in the mid-2000s. It’s currently unknown how many Vipers remain in Stellantis’ inventory, but they could run out soon. The sports car may not have won the hearts of consumers, but some participants do not let this opportunity pass, and even years after the end of production, it will still be able to find sales.

Dodge is now committed to the electric transition, and it’s completely new Dodge Charger Daytona and electric motors up to 670 hp. But don’t worry, because a version with an internal combustion engine will also arrive in 2025. After the launch of the coupe, it will be Durangoshift, which will also be offered in a fully electric version.
