As we bid the current iteration of the Dodge Viper goodbye, we are being reminded of its awesomeness by the availability of special editions and other goodies. And now we have for you the final Viper to roll off the assembly line, and of course it got some special paint.
What you see here is a Viper covered in House of Kolor bronzed gold paint with copper colored stripes. SRT's Bob Soroka was kind enough to airbrush those stripes with layouts of race tracks that are of significance to the Viper.
The car itself is a coupe, factory customized for owner D'Ann Rauh. D'Ann and her husband, Wayne Rauh, own the world's largest private collection of Vipers. The car also features special stitching in the interior.
Press Release
Dodge Celebrates the Ultimate Factory Customized Viper
July 1, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich.
Dodge Brand President and CEO Ralph Gilles (right) and plant manager Shelly Brown Gordon (third from right) welcomed more than 400 hundred loyal Viper owners at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit today to present the ultimate factory customized 2010 Dodge Viper coupe to proud new owner D'Ann Rauh (second from right). Rauh and her husband Wayne from Arp, Texas, own more than 40 Dodge Vipers - the largest personal collection of Vipers in the world.
A member of the Mid-South Viper Club of America, D'Ann Rauh worked exclusively with the Dodge Design team to select the personal touches she wanted on her car. The custom bronzed gold exterior paint was supplied by House of Kolor. The custom interior features various leather appointments, which were crafted by Tony Spampinito from Venzano, who has worked with the Rauhs on previous Viper projects.
Bob Soroka, from Chrysler Group LLC's Street and Racing Technology team, airbrushed layouts of Viper-significant race tracks into the custom-painted copper stripes applied by Prefix. The five-spoke forged-aluminum wheels are custom painted in dark graphite.
Members from both the Motor City Viper Club and the Viper Club of America participated in the celebration.
Rauh's Viper is the last of the current-generation Vipers built at the plant. Dodge has created more special-edition Viper models for the 2010 model year than all other model years combined. Production on the Dodge Viper started in 1992.
