Dodge Viper ACR-X Posts 7:03 Nurburgring Time

You can imagine the level of expectation we all have for the release of the 2013 SRT Viper, which is scheduled for the New York Auto Show in April, since the defunct generation of the car is the current holder of the “mainstream supercar” Nurburgring record.
As if this wasn’t enough, we now have a video that shows us how the racing version of the car, the Viper ACR-X, goes round the ‘Ring. The vehicle managed to lap the Nordschleife in a staggering 7:03:058, placing an impressive gap between it and the street-legal version.

We’ll remind you that the Viper AXR-X uses an 8.4-liter V10 that delivers 640 hp, 40 more than what you get in the standard model, while also bring 160 lbs (73 kg) lighter.
