Yes, they still make the Dodge Viper.
Although production of the Dodge Viper ended in 2017, you can still buy a brand-new Viper today. One dealership, Gerry Wood Dodge in Salisbury, North Carolina, bought 135 units in 2017 to ensure the Viper would continue to be available for purchase. Stellantis, the parent company of Dodge, reported Viper sales in 2021 and 2022, with four new Vipers sold in 2021 and one Viper sold in June 2022.
It’s worth noting that these new Vipers are often referred to as “zombie cars” in the industry, as they are sold years after their production has ended. The availability of new Vipers may vary depending on dealership inventory.

What replaced the Dodge Viper?

Is a Viper faster than a Corvette?
The Viper’s 3.8-second 0-to-60 sprint is still plenty quick, but it’s almost a half-second slower than the Vette’s. Some of that difference comes down to an issue of engine rpm and gearing. The Vette, for example, can reach 60 mph in first gear, whereas the Viper must use up a time-consuming gearshift.
Why did no one buy the Dodge Viper?
At first sight, the Dodge Viper had everything working in its favor: a powerful engine, a decent-enough design, and a cool, sporty interior, and yet, sales were less than stellar compared to its legendary rivals. Meanwhile, bad rep and misrepresentations also didn’t help with car sales.
Why did Dodge stop making Vipers?
Initially, Fiat Chrysler cited poor sales as a reason for discontinuing the Viper; however, other sources have stated the car was discontinued because the Viper was unable to comply with FMVSS 226 safety regulation, which requires side-curtain air bags.
What year is the latest Viper?
2017
The Dodge Viper, manufactured in the U.S. from 1992 to 2017, is a two-seat sports car with coupe and convertible versions.
Why did Chrysler destroy Vipers?
The agreement with the donated Vipers is that once they are no longer of educational value, the cars must be destroyed. Due to their age, Chrysler believes that this is now the case. Furthermore, it does not believe any of the Vipers hold historical value, so it won’t be saving them.
Can you still buy a Viper?
It’s a vehicle that, of course, went out of production all the way back in 2017, and for those who aren’t keeping track, we are currently more than halfway through 2022. Many of the cars arriving on near-empty dealer lots are 2023 model years. It’s hard to say what year this Viper was.
Is Dodge making a new Viper?
Is the Dodge Viper coming back in 2023? As far as we know, Dodge is not planning on reviving the Viper in 2023, despite the immense love and fan following the car has.
Is there a new Dodge Viper?
There are no plans for a new Dodge Viper at this time, and Dodge (under the auspices of Stellantis) are focusing on guiding the brand through the electric transition, concentrating on SUVs like the Dodge Hornet and the Dodge Charger SRT Daytona. An electric car with the Viper nameplate will surely follow again one day.
