It’s been over ten years since a Viper ran at Le Mans, but SRT is returning for the 90th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend! A lot has changed since Vipers won the GTS class three consecutive times, from 1998 to 2000, but SRT feels they are ready, with two identically prepared Viper GTS-Rs. The No. 91 Viper has already had three top-five finishes in the ALMS series, including a third place at Long Beach. More pics after the jump! Via Autoweek
The SRT guys recently took the new Viper over to Livernois Motorsports in Dearborn, Michigan for a bit of testing. The results for the SRT V-10 were a very impressive 558 horsepower at the wheels and 526 lb.-ft.of torque. (Keep in mind that at-the-wheels numbers are usually 15 percent lower due to driveline losses, so these numbers are very much in keeping with the factory numbers of 640-horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 600 lb.-ft. of torque.)

It features a pearl white body and black vapor chrome wheels, and the colors of the Italian flag adorn the seats. Sergio already donated it to charity! Check out the video after the jump!
