Template:Infobox automobile engine The Viper engine is a high-performance naturally-aspirated pushrod 2 valve-per-cylinder 90° V10 engine designed by Chrysler but with aluminum block castings designed by Lamborghini for use in the Dodge Viper. Despite its large displacement, it is based on the Chrysler LA V8.[1]
Development
Phase SR (1992–2002)
SR I (1st generation)
The Viper V10 is based on the Chrysler LA engine family and appeared with the Dodge Viper in 1992. It was conceived and prototyped as a Magnum 5.9 with two extra cylinders and a longer stroke of Template:Cvt.
The first-generation Viper V10 engine had a displacement of Template:Cvt and produced Template:Cvt at 4600 rpm and Template:Cvt of torque at 3600 rpm.[2] It features a sequential multipoint fuel injection system with bottom-fed injectors, dual throttle bodies, and dual plenums. It also features an external coolant manifold running alongside the block, inspired by Formula 1. In addition to the cast aluminum block and heads, it also features magnesium valve covers.[3]
SR II (2nd generation)
The second-generation engine, also displacing 8.0 L, produced Template:Cvt at 5200 rpm and Template:Cvt of torque at 3700 rpm.[4] 1999 was the last year for forged pistons until the 5th gen engine was released in 2012. There was an emissions transition happening around this time that may have influenced this.[citation needed]
Phase ZB (2003–2010)
ZB I (3rd generation)
The third-generation engine, introduced on the 2003 Viper, had a displacement of Template:Cvt with a bore x stroke of Template:Cvt, rated at Template:Cvt at 5600 rpm and Template:Cvt at 4200 rpm of torque after SAE certification in 2006.[5]
ZB II (4th generation)
For the 2008 Dodge Viper, the engine's output was increased to Template:Cvt at 6100 rpm and Template:Cvt at 5000 rpm of torque via a slight displacement increase to Template:Cvt and the use of variable valve timing, among the first utilized in a pushrod engine. The bore was now Template:Cvt, the same as Chrysler's 6.1 L Hemi engine.[6]
Phase VX (2012–2017)
VX I (5th generation)
The 2013 SRT Viper kept roughly the same displacement but further boosted power to Template:Cvt at 6150 rpm and Template:Cvt at 4950 rpm of torque.[7] Since 2015, power was raised up to Template:Cvt at 6200 rpm.[8]
Other Viper V10 vehicles
In addition, the Viper V10 was installed in the Dodge Ram SRT-10, and Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle. Bitter Cars of Germany produced the Bitter GT1 based on the Lotus Elise GT1 using this engine.
The V10 was also sold to British luxury car manufacturer Bristol Cars: the Bristol Fighter was powered by a modified version of the engine which produced Template:Cvt, increasing to Template:Cvt at high speed due to the ram air effect.[9] Bristol Cars further produced a Fighter S, in which the engine was tuned to give Template:Cvt (Template:Cvt at high speed). Bristol had also planned to produce a Fighter T, further modifying the engine with a turbocharger to produce Template:Cvt at 5600 rpm.[10] However, Bristol have since stated that no Fighter T models were produced[citation needed].
