Dodge Viper SRT-10 v1.0

The Dodge Viper (ZB II) is the fourth generation of the Viper sports car. Introduced for the 2008 model year; the car was the same as its predecessor on the exterior but had undergone notable mechanical and interior changes.

For the 2008 model year, engine capacity was raised to 8,382 cc (8.4 L; 511.5 cu in) which also resulted in power output being raised to 600 hp (608 PS; 447 kW) at 6,100 rpm and 560 lb⋅ft (759 N⋅m) of torque at 5,000 rpm. The engine was developed in collaboration with McLaren Automotive and Ricardo Consulting Engineers and included better flowing heads with larger valves, Mechadyne cam-in-cam variable valve timing on the exhaust cam lobes, and dual electronic throttle bodies. Other modifications included improved valvetrain stability from both the new camshaft profiles and valve-springs, as a result of which the rev limit could be further extended by 300 rpm along with an Electronic engine control developed by Continental AG; the controller can monitor the crankshaft and cylinder position up to six times during each firing and has 10 times more processing power than the previous unit.
