** PLEASE NOTE PHOTOS ARE CLIENT PHOTOS - FULL RECOMMISSION AND FRESH PHOTO SHOOT COMING SOON **

Every so often a car comes through our doors that reminds us why we got into this industry in the first place. Not because it looks good in photos, not because it makes sense on paper, but because it has soul, history, and intent in every detail. This is one of those cars.

We are enthusiasts first and marketers second, and this is a Viper we would normally want to keep quiet about. Representing it is a privilege.

Why the Gen 2 GTS Matters

The Gen 2 Viper GTS is widely regarded as the purest and most important iteration of the Viper story.

Iconic double-bubble hardtop design
Naturally aspirated 8.0-litre V10
No traction control, no stability systems, no compromise
A truly analogue driving experience

This was Dodge proving a point to the world. Brutal, honest performance with no safety net. In standard form it was already intimidating. This example takes that foundation and pushes it into another realm entirely.

From Roll Racing to the Ultimate Twin Turbo Viper

Earlier in its UK life, the car ran a supercharger made and developed by roe racing. That setup no longer exists and is simply part of the car’s developmental history. The decision was made to build the Viper properly, with no shortcuts and no compromises.

Twin Turbo & Engine

Pablo Castellano / CPE Engineering twin turbo system from the USA
Original cost of the turbo system was $29,000
Producing just over 1,000 BHP at the rear wheels
AEM engine management, professionally mapped
Bespoke secondary fuel tank housed in the passenger-side wheel arch
Full engine rebuild with complete receipts and photographic documentation
Cylinder heads rebuilt by Greg Goode Racing, enlarged valves, ported, roller rockers, turbo profiled cam

This is a cohesive, proven package, not a theoretical build or dyno-only car.

Drivetrain and Supporting Engineering

The power is nothing without the supporting hardware, and this is where the car truly earns respect.

Cars like this do not come along often. Not because they can’t be built, but because very few people are willing to dedicate this level of time, money, and personal commitment to doing it properly.

This is a Viper built by an enthusiast, for enthusiasts. Raw, intimidating, devastatingly fast, and completely irreplaceable.

If you understand what this car is, you already know how rare this opportunity is.
