I have a feeling its going to be called the GTS-R.

 

[ACRucrazy]

That has been my feeling as well.

 

[sween]

Road and track renderings almost never look like the actual car lol

 

[Bruce H.]

Could it depend on whether it's based on the GTS (GTS-R?) or SRT (ACR?)?

Why the hell did they PS an SLS AMG Black Series fascia on a Viper? Chrysler and Mercedes are divorced, apparently Road and Track didn't get the memo.

 

[VENOM V]

Don't know what it will look like, but it will be one mean, low-down, sucker-punching bully at the track!!! Can't wait.

Ha. That's exactly what I thought. Of course the SLS was going to be the new Viper before they "divorced".

When I picked up my car John @ Roanoke Motor pointed out on the inside of the trunk lid where it's already reinforced and designed for an ACR wing. The wing in those pics doesn't attach in the same place at all. I'd imagine if anyone has seen a real rendering of an ACR it's John.

 

[Richie7]

yea there is no way that little wing and splitter are going to produce the downforce of the gen4 acr

 

[bushido]

That looks great. Glad I waited..

 

[BigDawg]

Let's just hope SRT does the right thing and gives it more of a GTS-R appeal. Some fender bulges, vents on each side of the tail lights, etc. We already know the next gen Z06 and ZR1 are going to have this treatment, so there is no excuse.

I assume you're referring to the GTS-R pictures?

 

[ViperSmith]

The white Viper with the GTS-R styling. IMO that is it.

 

[bluestreak]

Other than the front grill and small rear wing, that car looks fantastic.

The GTS-R is not the ACR. The ACR will look more like the GTS than the GTS-R.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Lets hope they dont use that Camaro style weeny wing. All else looks great.

I would agree with that. Hopefully we at least get a bit more fender flare like the GTS-R though...

 

[I Bin Therbefor]

Find the thread that posted pictures of the GTS-R on exhibit at LeMans last year - 2012 -

I want a street version of that BODY and some suitable engine/suspension mods.

I'd take that wing over the platypus wing on the TA version..

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Good luck finding any road racing down force with that device.

 

[bluestreak]

There is some, Porsche has been using wings that small for decades. It's probably going to be better than the attached platypus lip because it allows for airflow underneath the wing element which is the major provider of DF.

 

[SnakeBitten]

Not a bad render. That front end treatment looks better and more Viper-ish than the current one. I like the brake cooling ducts on both sides of the grill. Still nothing beats teh GTSR body. I really hope for a street legal version of that car, though it is likely a pipe dream. Even so just a wider front and rear fender treatment on the regular Viper body would go a long way in making the ACR look the part. Dont forget fogs and brake ducts.

 

[VENOM V]

I personally like the looks of the TA rear spoiler, but what's more important is the downforce. SRT has a good aero engineering team and of course that wind tunnel. Whatever they come up with that gives the promised 1500 pounds at 150 MPH is good enough for me. Love the big air ducts
