Dodge SRT’s New Viper Bypasses Chrysler On Its Route To Germany

Viper 1Earlier this year in January, Chrysler announced that they would not be officially selling the new SRT Viper in Europe, as the automaker chose to concentrate their sales efforts in the North American region. Carbuzz reports that this is in spite of the Viper marque’s increasing popularity as a world-class supercar, even though it can not be directly compared to the likes of such Euro contemporaries as Lamborghini.

Viper 2Though not in quite the same status window as Ferrari and others, the Viper has managed to secure for itself a beginning price tag here in the States of $97,395. Carbuzz says that in spite of the Viper’s current U.S.-only sales status, the car is gaining in popularity overseas, and therefore a market has opened itself up among the Euro buying market.

Seizing this smart sales opportunity, GeigerCars of Munich, Germany has found a loophole in the Chrysler language, namely in the use of the word “official.” It’s true that Europe’s car enthusiast community is suffering from Mopar fever, and because that “fever” is one that refuses to diminish, GeigerCars has announced that they will bring to Germany a small number of SRT Vipers for public sale.

Viper 3There are no exact figures as to how much the latest Viper will run on the German homesoil, but with import costs and other related taxes figured in, the SRT supercar is rumored to be starting somewhere around 139,000 Euros, which translates to roughly $180k.

Chrysler’s all-new, SRT Viper should change the face of the Autobahn driving experience forever, but when it comes down to dollars and sense, do you think that the latest generation of Viper will be a top seller in Germany? Tell us what you think below!
