The Dodge Viper GTS '13 is a road car produced by Dodge. It appears in Gran Turismo 6, Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7. When it was originally debuted in GT6, it was originally named SRT Viper GTS '13, as the car was sold under the SRT brand in attempt to create a separate marque, before Chrysler reconsolidated it back into Dodge in May 2014 (as such, the rebranding of the car did not actually take place until the 2015 model year).

In-game description[]
- "The design and feel of the third generation Dodge Viper are in a class of their own! The secret to the improved performance is a stronger chassis, with 50% more torsional rigidity... Meaning it delivers plenty of power as well as precise handling."
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
"The 3rd generation Viper, backed by extreme performance under the SRT brand."
The achievement made by the Viper in the American automobile industry is significant. For a long time the only choice in the American supersport market was the Corvette, but the Viper challenged and defeated the Corvette when it first appeared in 1991.
This led to an escalated R&D battle between the two and as a result, the performance standards of American sports cars quickly rose to a level that sometimes exceeds that of mainstream European supercars. For this reason there were many disappointed fans when sales of the 2nd generation Viper ended in 2010.
The Viper was far from dead though, as a 3rd generation model debuted in 2012.
The 3rd generation Viper was released by SRT, Chrysler's dedicated sports model brand. Although it basically keeps to its original concepts, its performance has been greatly improved. The platform still uses the square steel space frame as before, but with aluminium cross bracings its rigidity is improved by 50%.
With lightweight materials such as carbon used in various parts, the car is 45 kg lighter. The V10 mounted front mid-ship is still 8.4 L, but with changes in pistons, intake, exhaust and engine management, it now produces 640 BHP and 83 kgfm torque. The upper grade model GTS is also equipped with active suspension.
Its top speed: 329 km/h. Considering the base price of the 2013 model is under $100,000, the bite and venom of the 3rd generation Viper will definitely have an effect on its rivals.
