2010 Laguna Seca Dodge Viper ACR
On November 24th, Dodge took the revised 2010 Dodge Viper ACR to Laguna Seca to try and set the lap record for production cars.
On just the sixth lap of the 2.238-mile, 11-turn course, the Viper ACR’s Motec telemetry recorded a 1:33.915 lap time (the Laguna trackside clock recorded an unofficial 1:33.944) which made the 2010 Viper ACR the quickest production car in the world around Laguna Seca.
However, it seems there was more behind the story, because not long after the record was broken, Dodge announced that a special Laguna Seca version would be offered.
Back on November 4th when Chrysler outlined its 5 year business plan, Dodge brand CEO Ralph Gilles spoke of running a “final 500″ special edition of the Viper before the completely new car rolls out in 2012.
Will all 500 be Laguna Seca editions? Most likely, and the official Laguna Seca Edition will be shown at the LA Auto Show next month.
