| − | The '''Dodge Viper''' is an American [[Supercar]] made by [[Chrysler]] under the [[Dodge]] brand. It is the first car in the world to be powered by V10. The engine was originally designed to power the [[Dodge Ram]] truck. It gets a bad rap from European elitists who deride it as primitive, despite its innovative features, but it still destroys its competition for a fraction of the cost. | + | The '''Dodge Viper''' is an American [[supercar]] made by [[Chrysler]] under the [[Dodge]] brand.
