The 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 drove away with the Detroit News Readers’ Choice award for “Best Curves,” from the 2010 North American International Auto Show. The paper’s panel of 100 consumer-minded Detroit News reader-judges – rather than industry professionals – selected the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 as the most expressively styled vehicle at the show.

“The Detroit News Readers’ Choice award for Best Curves speaks perfectly to the sexy styling of the race-proven Dodge Viper’s design,” said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO, Dodge Brand. “The expressive styling of the iconic Dodge Viper gets everyone’s endorphins kicking and heart racing, even when it’s not hitting the redline at triple-digit speeds. And with its unique two-tone exterior color combinations and aerodynamic components, the even more passionate and track-ready styling of the Dodge Viper ACR looks even more unmistakable.”

The 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 remains available in two body styles – Roadster and Coupe. Both feature a dramatic new hood with a larger, more efficient hood scoop for air induction and larger, functional hood louvers to facilitate a greater cooling effect for the more powerful 8.4-liter, 600-horsepower V-10 engine underneath.

Several exterior differences exist between the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster and Coupe. In fact, the only body panels they share are front fascia and fenders, hood and doors. However, all of the iconic Dodge Viper SRT10 design cues have been maintained, including the signature crosshair grille, deep-cut side scallops, swept-back fenders and lowered hood lines.

Unique to the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe is its “double bubble” roof styling for greater torsional stiffness than the Roadster. The 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe also features increased downforce and greater high-speed stability with its sloping roofline and deck-lid spoiler.
Inside, the Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster and Coupe cockpit retains its characteristic red push-button starter and performance-oriented, highly functional instrument panel with center-mounted tachometer and 220-mph speedometer. Five interior trim and seating colors, plus a choice of bezel finishes on the center instrument panel and console adds to the increased level of Dodge Viper SRT10’s detail and customization.
