As the world moves towards more and more environmentally friendly and efficient vehicle options, supercars like the Dodge Viper have become less desirable. So, why is Dodge no longer making the Viper supercar? In order to allocate more funds to the development of more efficient and high-tech vehicles, the Dodge brand will be ending production of the Dodge Viper. Read on to learn more about what this means and what will be replacing the Dodge Viper in the lineup.

2017 Dodge Viper Last Year of Production

According to Dodge, the last year of the Viper’s production will be 2017. Over the years, the Viper has been a car that has caught the attention and the eye of avid drivers looking for truly impressive speed and power. The high-performance engine, low fuel efficiency ratings, and high price has made the Viper a dream car for many, and an option for few. Because of this, Dodge is shifting its focus.

Since the Viper’s original release in 1992, 28,000 Vipers have been sold. As a celebration of the 25th anniversary in 2017, the Dodge brand will be producing a limited number of final Vipers for the lucky drivers who can afford one. Each vehicle will have a serialized instrument panel badge that shows the model name, and can be customized with the buyer’s name.

What’s Replacing Dodge Viper Supercar?

At this point, there’s no way of knowing what lies ahead for Dodge. With the frequent changes in vehicle technology, we can expect to see improved efficiency, better engine performance, and great style continue to roll onto dealership lots in the coming years.

We are looking forward to what the future has to offer for Dodge drivers, even if it means we have to say goodbye to a truly impressive member of the lineup. So long Dodge Viper, it’s been great and we will always love your sleek style and power.
