2014 SRT Viper TA Slithers Under the Radar

You’d think it would be hard to miss the new 2014 SRT Viper Time Attack at the New York Auto Show. After all, it’s a bright orange American supercar. Perhaps it was the lack of a press conference or press release, or maybe it was the fact that it sat high on a pedestal and was out of reach; either way, it didn’t garner the attention it probably should have.

More than just a pretty shade of orange, the Viper TA puts a focus on light-weight and neutral handling, featuring an updated suspension and carbon fiber parts which helped make it set the fastest track time of a production vehicle at Laguna Seca.

Other drool-worthy stats are just Viper standards, like the 8.4L V10 engine, which puts out 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque. The Viper TA also uses impressive Brembo brakes, which have a higher heat tolerance that should be able to keep up with the Viper TAs on-track performance.

Only 33 SRT Viper TAs will be made, so take a closer look at the images below of the new snake.
