It has been out of production since 2017


Every now and then, in the world of cars, a surprise happens: after 7 years, a new one was sold Dodge Viper in the middle of 2024. Although at first glance it may seem like normal news, remember that this famous American sports car stopped its production in 2017.

It was all based on the recent Stellantis periodic sales report related to the first quarter of 2024 and, among the many cars sold, this one Viper unit is the best. The most plausible explanation is that the car remained not sold in the dealer for several years, and now it has found a buyer (here is the most amazing Dodge Viper ever sold, it is very unique and unique in the world).

As strange as calling a car from seven years ago “new”, the condition of the car still seemed to be good. After all, since the Viper went out of production, some unsold scrap always turns up. So, from a numerical point of view, these types of incidents are more common than they seemeven if, in their own way, they always make news.

Another curiosity concerns sales trends in recent years. Only four Dodge Viper units were sold in 2020 and 2021, while none were sold in 2022, raising suspicions that the remaining stock may have run out. 2023, however, kept the surprise, and two more units were sold. Different times compared to twenty years ago, when, in 2000, the Viper reached and exceeded 1,000 units sold per year. However, during the last cycle of the car’s life, we witnessed a sharp drop in interest rateswhich peaked in 2014 with only 760 examples sold, the lowest sales peak before it officially went out of production.

Some time ago we talked to you about the most powerful Dodge Viper ever: christened with the code name “Juggernaut”, this car, although it presents itself beautifully as a 2001 model, hides under the bodywork a fifth-generation powertrain, sold between 2013 and 2017. The engine remains standard, but the displacement has increased to 9.0 liters, while two 88 mm Garrett turbos, along with other modifications, push the engine. total power at 3,300 HP, distributed only on the rear wheels. An invincible beast with the ability to reach 375 km / h.
