The fifth-generation Dodge Viper kept the recipe pure: a long-nosed coupe wrapped around a huge naturally aspirated V10, driving the rear wheels through a manual gearbox, with no turbochargers or automatic shortcuts anywhere.
The Dodge Viper engine in this generation is an 8.4-litre petrol V10, seen here in the 8.4 MT coupe. Its powertrain is deliberately old-school: a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drivetrain, so torque arrives instantly from low revs and demands a careful right foot.
