1999 Chrysler Viper GTS Chassis: 1C3ERC9E4WV400185 French registration Extremely rare European version Genuine supercar Sold without technical control 60 000 / 80 000€ Without reserve At the end of the 80s, the Chrysler Group, which had been in great difficulty at the beginning of the decade, began to recover thanks to the effects of the merger with AMC and the commercial success of the "Voyager". In search of a new image, the brand decided, through Bob Lutz, to create a true sports car, the AC Cobra, to serve as a benchmark. At the end of 1989, a first concept car was presented for public testing. The response was very positive, and the project was launched with the collaboration of Caroll Shelby, then a partner in the Chrysler Group. For the engine, the choice was made for a V10 (then the reference engine in F1), to power the first American "Supercar". Its design was entrusted to engineers from Lamborghini, then part of Chrysler. They developed an 8000 cm3, 394 hp engine. At the end of 1991, the Viper was finally ready, and was launched with great fanfare at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show. Such was its success that in 1996, Dodge launched a coupe version of its Viper, called the GTS. For the occasion, the engine was upgraded to 450 hp. Airbags and air conditioning were also added. Based on the GTS, Chrysler, with the help of Oreca, launches the VIPER GTS R, which goes on to win 4 Le Mans races in its class. These victories helped promote the car in Europe, where it was sold under the Chrysler brand. The example we're offering is a Chrysler Viper GTS, sold new in Madrid on May 05, 1999. It remained in Spain until 2004, when it was imported into France, in the Drôme region. Its current owner, an enthusiast from the south of France, acquired it in 2006. Since then, he has regularly maintained the car. The worn clutch needs replacing. The opaque headlights need to be overhauled. 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS Chassis: 1C3ERC9E4WV400185 French registration Extremely rare European version Genuine 'Supercar 60 000 / 80 000€ No Reserve At the end of the 80s, the Chrysler Group, which had been in great difficulty at the beginning of the decade, began to recover thanks to the effects of the merger with AMC and the commercial success of the 'Voyager'.
