Dodge SRT Viper GTS Debut In Indonesia 2013

The new Viper is first debuting at the New York auto show. But it’s no longer called a Dodge; now it’s just the SRT Viper. Shown with striking red light color plus his trademark white striping, SRT Viper GTS so enchanting visitors at booth IIMS 2013 Chrysler Indonesia. But unfortunately, steering wheel still on the left, so it can not be used in Indonesia. Then when the iconic supercar of this Dodge will be sold in Indonesia?

PT Garansindo Inter Global who flew directly the SRT Viper GTS from Detroit to Indonesia is also said that this car will also be sold in Indonesia, where they are available right wheel version. "A lot of the interest and many are willing to buy. Selling new but we have not exhibited it", said Sales Executive PT Garansindo Inter Global, Agnes at IIMS 2013.

To launch schedule itself, Agnes slightly leaking info. She said the SRT Viper GTS will go on sale in Indonesia in 2015. "I still hear about the new 2015 will be sold and the price itself is considered to be very expensive, " she whispered.

2013 SRT Viper GTS was carrying 8,400 cc aluminum engine V10 -powered 640 hp and 600 Nm of torque . The trick cam-in-cam variable valve-timing system remains, although the profile of the intake lobes was reworked. Engineers credit this with about 10 of the additional horses. A new composite intake manifold with longer runners replaces the old aluminum piece, dropping seven pounds from the top of the engine and ratcheting power up another 10 horses or so and pumping torque up about 20 lb-ft. 

An aluminum flywheel cuts 11 pounds, helping revs build faster, and sodium-filled exhaust valves help keep engine temps down as well as saving a pound. In total, the engine is 25 pounds lighter now than its predecessor. The machine is supplied to the 6 -speed manual transmission with Sport DNA.

There are other refinements, too. New forged-aluminum Mahle pistons will take the heat of aftermarket power adders better than the old cast pieces, and revisions to the block and the head gaskets help reduce temperatures at the rear cylinders, which have been known to get hotter than the rest of the holes. Port fuel injection remains, as packaging a direct-injection system proved too difficult. After being hand-built at the Conner Avenue assembly plant, every single Viper engine will be dyno tested to verify that it hits the advertised marks.
