2016 Dodge Viper ACR Is Undisputed Track Record King

- Ultimate street-legal race car sets new high-performance benchmark with more track records than any production car in the world
- Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) has certified lap records at 13 road courses, including world-famous Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta and Virginia International Raceway
- With 645 horsepower and more torque than any naturally aspirated engine in a production car, the ACR is purpose built for weekend club racers who want the most extreme, but street-legal, track car available
- Significant aerodynamic and suspension upgrades, new Carbon Ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers from Brembo and high-performance Kumho tires, specifically designed for the new 2016 ACR, set this Viper apart on any road course

November 3, 2015, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The new 2016 Dodge Viper ACR (American Club Racer) has taken the performance car world by storm with its proven on-track prowess since being introduced earlier this year. Still, the Dodge/SRT team wanted validation that the new Viper ACR is indisputably "the ultimate street-legal race car."

Beginning in October 2014, when development was in high gear, the new 2016 Dodge Viper ACR started its resetting of the record books by recording never-seen-before lap times at 13 tracks across the country, including world-famous Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta and Virginia International Raceway.

"The SCCA has certified that the new 2016 Dodge Viper ACR holds more track records than any other production car in the world," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands - Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA - North America. "We expected our new Viper ACR to be the fastest street-legal Viper track car ever. Now we know without a doubt that it is."

The impressive run has all been accomplished in the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR with the Extreme Aero package, which delivers 1,700+ pounds of peak downforce at top speed through a massive adjustable dual-element carbon fiber rear wing, rear carbon fiber diffuser, unique SRT hood with removable louvers, detachable extension for the front splitter and additional dive planes.

Yikes! There is going to be one running in my group at VIR this Saturday & Sunday. Can't wait to see how fast he passes me...

Crushinator · 11-05-2015, 04:34 PM

The times the ACR is putting down are absolutely incredible. A 1:28 at Laguna Seca is crazy crazy fast. Awesome!

It is mind-boggling. I can't help but think it's what C7 Z06 should have been... if only it had an engine that 'works', and perhaps a wing option.

Absolutely insane......putting the hurt on the 918 and P1 at Laguna Seca is quite the accomplishment especially at roughly 1/10th the cost. Talk about bragging rights

That's what GM needs to build a car to beat. No?

Wow! Dodge on top of the twisties and the king of the 1/4 mile. That has to get some panties in a bunch.

That's incredible speed from corner to corner.

The tires are just $338/$359 front/rear. Considering the 355/30/19 rear size, it's very cheap!!!

With how few of these cars they're selling I wouldn't hold my breath that they remain available for very long after the car is out of production which the rumors are already spreading about.
