A naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V10 producing 640 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque helps explain why this 2013 SRT Viper GTS sold for an impressive $230,000. The engine sends all its power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, with no automatic option available. An aluminum structural X-brace spans the engine bay and contributes to the car’s unusually direct, mechanical character.
Low-mileage SRT Viper jumps from $138,500 to $230,000
That formula already made the fifth-generation Viper stand apart when it arrived. While rival supercars increasingly relied on dual-clutch transmissions and complex electronic systems, the SRT retained a large-displacement naturally aspirated engine and a traditional manual gearbox.
Performance remains serious even by modern standards. The Viper GTS can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3.4 seconds and reach a claimed top speed of 206 mph. Extracting that performance requires experience, particularly when 600 lb-ft reaches only the rear tires.
The specification also played a major role in the auction result. According to the seller, this car is one of only 12 built for the 2013 model year in Shadow Blue Pearl with Billet Silver GTS stripes. The exterior includes a GTS-specific vented hood, an integrated rear spoiler, xenon headlights, LED taillights and the Viper’s signature side-exit exhausts.
Venom alloy wheels measure 18 inches at the front and 19 inches at the rear. They wear Pirelli P Zero tires and reveal red Viper-branded Brembo calipers over ventilated brake rotors. Adjustable Bilstein dampers were also fitted from the factory.
Inside, the fifth-generation Viper offers more comfort than earlier models without losing its driver-focused layout. Black leather Sabelt seats feature power adjustment, while equipment includes navigation, a rearview camera, automatic climate control, adjustable pedals and a Harman Kardon audio system.
The SRT badges identify the car as part of a brief chapter in Viper history. Chrysler marketed SRT as a standalone brand for the 2013 and 2014 model years before returning the Viper to Dodge for 2015 through 2017.
Mileage may be the biggest reason collectors bid so aggressively. The odometer showed only 469 miles when the auction ended on August 4, 2026. The seller had purchased the same car on Bring a Trailer for $138,500 in March 2025 and added only about 61 miles before selling it for $230,000.
That creates a gross difference of $91,500 before auction fees, taxes, insurance, maintenance and storage costs. The result shows how strongly collectors currently value low-mileage fifth-generation Vipers, although one exceptional sale does not guarantee similar appreciation for every example.
