Live out your Gran Turismo 3 fantasies for real with this limited-edition Viper.
century, there have been some fantastically successful American sportscar racers. Corvette Racing was founded in 1999, and since then it’s won at Le Mans eight times, Daytona four times, and been crowned American Le Mans Series champion 10 times. As for Cadillac, it’s won championships with two generations of CTS, an ATS, and the incredible DPi-V.R. Plus, of course, no discussion like this would be complete without mentioning the Dodge Viper.
And when you think about motorsport Vipers, they might look a bit like this one, right? Red paint, white stripes, the cross-spoke BBS and the Team Oreca livery. The Gran Turismo Viper, for want of a better phrase. But this car is no mere homage or faithful recreation; instead it’s a limited-edition GTS, one called the Daytona 91.
See, when a GTS-R took first place at Daytona in 2000, it was more significant than just a win at one of the world’s most famous 24-hour endurance races. The Viper’s success marked the first time an American production car had won the event, an achievement that couldn’t go uncelebrated.
Not that they used it much, mind. The second owner bought it from Woodhouse 20 years ago and it seems like the Viper has been in Europe ever since – one of two that are on this continent, apparently. Yet since 2001, fewer than 12,000 miles have been covered. Hardly like a Viper will make them pass in forgettable fashion, but that’s still a very small number. All the more reason for the next owner to add to the tally, assuming they can foot the fuel bill.
