After a two-year hiatus in production and some five years since a new model has been released, The Snake is finally back! Get ready for a taste of venom as Test Drive puts the bite on the brand new 2013 SRT Viper!

Viper factory driver -- and Test Drive host -- Tommy Kendall puts the newest Viper to the test with special guests, including CART champion and former Formula One driver, Michael Andretti, and Wired Magazine’s Josh Davis. From the hairpin turns of Mid-Ohio Raceway to the twists and turns of the Pacific Coast Highway, we’ll check out the Viper’s awe-inspiring 8.4-liter V-10 engine with 640 hp and 600 Lb-Ft of torque, as well as its benchmark braking, aggressive exterior, performance-inspired interior and outstanding ride and handling. The new 2013 SRT Viper – some cars are just born bad.

The 2013 SRT® Viper combines classic beauty with enough modern flair to start your love affair anew. Bodywork on the Viper more closely hugs what lies beneath to look more compact and purposeful, while evolving the classic Viper form. The side "gill" shape inspired by the original Viper RT/10® remains a focal point. The new roofline is longer, tapers more toward the rear, and the fenders have broader shoulders and a much more aggressive racecar look. Classic colors and stripes lead back to quick-firing LED tail lamps masked by dark-tinted snakeskin lenses.
