It has been nearly a decade since Dodge killed the Viper, discontinuing it after the 2017 model year. It was a unique American sports car that the automaker had to discontinue for safety reasons, and the chances of its return are next to nonexistent.
On the latest episode of The DriveCast, a podcast from The Drive, SRT head Tim Kuniskis said the Viper has "reached the end of its lifecycle." He added that a modern Viper would likely have to ditch the manual transmission in favor of an automatic or dual-clutch gearbox.
