This is not just any 2009 Dodge Viper ACR—it’s an ultra-rare gem. One of only seven produced in solid white and the only Hardcore Edition in existence. Stripped of luxuries like a stereo, speakers, amp, carpets, and insulation, it’s built purely for performance, shedding crucial weight. While a standard ACR tips the scales at 1.54 tons, the Hardcore Edition comes in at an impressively light 1.46 tons.
Performance Upgrades
This Viper isn’t just rare—it’s been enhanced to deliver even more jaw-dropping performance. Equipped with:
- Full ACR-X exhaust system
- PCM upgrades
- Catch can and upper canards
These upgrades push the already monstrous Gen 4, 8.4-liter V10 engine to around 700 horsepower. The braking system has been elevated too, featuring ACR Extreme 6-pot calipers for unmatched stopping power.
A Masterpiece of Engineering
The Gen 4 V10 engine was developed with input from McLaren, continuing the legacy of exotic collaboration that started with Lamborghini’s involvement in earlier engines. Every detail of this machine is crafted for performance—the functional carbon-fiber aero elements, including the massive rear wing, generate an incredible 1,000 pounds of downforce at 150 mph.
Track Pedigree
This beast isn’t just for show—it’s a record-breaker. In 2010, it set a Nürburgring lap record of 7:12.13, cementing its place in automotive history.
Unique Signatures
Adding to its collectability, this Viper is signed by two legends:
- Ralph Gilles, CEO of SRT and a design visionary.
- Richard “Dick” Winkles, the chief engineer behind the Viper’s design and construction (a name that provides plenty of laughs here in the U.K. ).
This car represents the pinnacle of American engineering, with undeniable rarity, racing pedigree, and sheer, unrelenting performance. Truly, a piece of automotive history.
The car’s owner Barry Adams has been using USAutomotive since around 1997 when he owned a 3rd Gen Camaro and since then has been using us for parts and service items on all his US cars and Trucks.
