Why it matters
The Launch Edition was the opening special model of the fifth-generation Viper, introduced in 2013 after a two-year gap in production. Its blue-and-white paint deliberately recalled the original 1996 coupes.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionLaunch Edition cars | 1501 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The fifth-generation Viper (Code VX) returned for 2013 with an all-aluminum 8.4-liter V-10, a carbon fibre hood, decklid and roof and a magnesium firewall, which RM Sotheby's says made the GTS about 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor. Stability control and cruise control were fitted as standard for the first time.
RM Sotheby's catalogued a Canadian-delivery Launch Edition with 4,946 km at the time of cataloguing.
