VIPER GTS-R
ex Factory FIA-GT car, Winner of 500km Watkins Glen with Donohue
The Chrysler Viper is certainly one of the most iconic American sport car ever built and probably the most popular one from the 90s. It was first shown as a concept car in 1989 at Detroit and immediately raised a huge success, this was very clear with both name and concept that it was to be the “new” Cobra. The first production car appeared in 1992 and very soon camethe idea of turning it into a race car, the pioneers cars were private entries at Le Mans in 1994, one finishing at an incredible 12th place which was not bad for a largely production based race car. In 1995 Chrysler decided to return to racing with the Viper into the new GT1 class, they built a car but actually it was very awkward. After they realised their lack of knowledge in terms of chassis design, they named Oreca as a Factory team and let them redesign the GTS-R and modify it to comply with GT2 regulations for 1997. Since 1997 the Viper GTS-R became a legendary winner, writing some of the most outstanding pages from the GT racing history. Indeed they won the FIA GT 1997/1998/1999/2001/2002, Le Mans 24 Hours 1998/1999/2000, Daytona 24 Hours 2000 ( Overall victory ! ), ALMS 1999/2000, Nurburgring 24 Hours 1999/2001/2002 and many other national GT Champioships such as the French ( five times ) and Italian ones. There were 5 prototypes and 52 GTS-Rs built and only a few Oreca factory cars.<br />
