It's the end of the line [at least for now] for one of the most recognizable and iconic American sports cars of the past two decades as the last of the current-generation Dodge Vipers "slithered" its way out of the firm's Conner Avenue plant in Detroit.
The final example of the 2010 Dodge Viper is a customized coupe model for D'Ann Rauh (second from right in the picture), who along with her husband Wayne from Arp, Texas, own more than 40 Dodge Vipers. The Texas couple own the largest personal collection of Vipers in the world.
Rauh's Viper is finished in a custom bronzed gold exterior paint supplied by House of Kolor, while unique interior features include various leather appointments crafted by Tony Spampinito from Venzano. The dark graphite five-spoke forged-aluminum wheels complete the package.
Production of the V10-powered Dodge Viper started in 1992. A next generation model has been rumored but not officially confirmed.

The last Viper had to roll-off the line in the most tacky-ass color combination possible? No wonder Chrysler is going out of business. The car never went past being a lug of dinosaur throwback to years of yore for those who insist on living in the past. Good luck getting any real value out this gas hog when gas is gone. I guess you can cut-off the nose and make one of those wall hangings from it while cutting off the rear clip to make a sofa with taillights.
Anon, it was a customized coupe model, cus-to-mized, get it?
Bye Bye Viper I will MISS YOU)))))
I just hope that one day, I will get you red with white stripes and with a low mileage or you on a diet (ACR) red with black stripes
Good riddance!! Iconic, I doubt. It was never that popular. Too ugly from start to end. Piss poor handling, and expensive for what ya get.
This customized scheme looks like a 70's throw back. Barf.
It's a great car no matter what some may say, it's an end of a great sports car and hopefully the next generation will come soon in the market. So goodbye Dodge Viper and we will miss you then.
Anyone who could deride this car is very likely the sort that heeds every health and safety warning they see printed on a car and probably have never drove a car without wearing seatbelts.
Balless and joyless is what they are.
sad to see the end of such a machine.. no safety nannies, just good old fashion low end grunt, wide tires and driver know how to drive this beast! nothing else like it.
im 32 years old and i still chase these things down in traffic to look at them!
--happy 4th of july!
Viper was a Great and lovely sport car.
i have a 08 viper and trust me handling and power are incredible....poor guy!!post comment when tried one if enough cash!!its a real sport car not a computer one!!acr is the best by far....this car won my heart forever!!!
what a work of artistry, yet some posters (sad, but true) cannot grasp the entire concept called "project viper". the car was never meant to sell in large quantities. dodge did an outstanding job keeping the viper variants fresh, unique and a collector's dream. yes. it is iconic, classy, truly american and the car that brought into chrysler-dodge-ram-jeep showrooms folks never intending to purchase one - yet sparking enough interest to sell other gems on the showroom floor and lots such as the new dodge challenger, charger, grand cherokee and RAM; chrysler 300c and town&country; and jeeps of all sizes and price ranges. there will be a follow-up to the exotic viper. whatever that vehicle may be, it will be an awesome blend of american-italian lineage - from all i have been told in detroit.
^ thats right truly American! that tells the whole story.
^^ "it will be an awesome blend of american-italian lineage" LMAO!! In your dreams mate! Americans and Italians DON'T blend. Get your s*** straight and accept the fact that Chrysler is going down big time!
"Americans and Italians DON'T blend."
Google 'DeTomaso Pantera'
You lose.
Yeah right, one model in the last 50-or-so years. What a legacy. I'M AMAZED. Stupid argument. The idea of Ferrari or Maserati helping Dodge to build the next Viper is just hilarious. And don't forget that DeTomaso Pantera was built in Italy WITHOUT any help from the Americans. DeTomaso bought the engines and placed them under the bonnet. History crash course ended. Go drive now the new Chrysler Delta to enjoy the blend.
Yeah, Maserati would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS link up with Chrysler to build a production car. That is just he-lie-harry-ous.
If you want a crash couse in Eye-tail-ian collaboration you need to make Google your friend and look up a Chrysler TC.
Of course I don't want to fry your brain anymore than it already is so I won't even mention their history with Ghia coach builders.
What is that old saying, "better to be thought a fool than to open your pie-hole and remove all doubt"?
Take heed there as that applies to you son.
