Why did Dodge stop Viper?

Why did Dodge stop the Viper?
The Dodge Viper was discontinued for several reasons. One of the main reasons was an airbag issue that posed a safety concern. Additionally, the Viper had limited demand and was expensive to produce. The tightening emission regulations also played a role in the decision to discontinue the Viper. Furthermore, the Viper faced competition from other sports cars, such as the Chevrolet Corvette, which affected its sales. Despite its iconic status, the Viper did not achieve the desired sales numbers, leading to its discontinuation. It’s worth noting that Dodge sold four Vipers in 2020, even though production had ceased in 2017.
