Production stopped in 1999, but as of its debut at next week's LA Auto Show, the 2008 [Viper ACR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2016-dodge-viper-acr) will be back on the auto scene; production will start between April and June, and is expected to sell for under $100,000. "Under the hood will be the standard all aluminum 8.4 liter [V10](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-huracn-tecnica)," according to Inventor Spot. "It will produce close to 600 horsepower to the rear wheels and over 550 ft-lbs of torque. The package will also bring some aero-upgrades as well as suspension adjustments to cope with the 1.5g cornering is it said to produce." "They were able to save a total of 40 lbs between upgraded tires and wheels, brakes and suspension components. Dodge will also offer a 'hard-core' package which will remove another 40lbs, along with your audio components some sound dampening and you trunk liner. I'm shaking in my boots knowing I'll see its debut next week. I know it's silly for a tiny girl like myself to love these cars, but I just can't help it! Maybe it's the same thing men suffer from -- a need to express masculinity when there's a lack of muscle? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reintroduction of ACR Viper:** The reintroduction of the ACR Viper presents an opportunity for automotive manufacturers to tap into the demand for high-performance vehicles. - **Enhanced Performance Features:** The enhanced performance features of the 2008 Viper ACR open up possibilities for innovation in the automotive industry, particularly in terms of advanced engine technology and aerodynamics. - **Lightweight Design:** The emphasis on lightweight design in the 2008 Viper ACR creates potential for disruptive innovation in materials and manufacturing processes for the automotive sector. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Manufacturing:** The reintroduction of the ACR Viper presents opportunities for automotive manufacturers to expand their product lineup and cater to the high-performance vehicle market. - **Automotive Accessories:** The launch of the 2008 Viper ACR creates an opportunity for companies in the automotive accessories industry to develop specialized components and upgrades for high-performance vehicles. - **Automotive Engineering:** The enhanced performance features of the 2008 Viper ACR open up avenues for innovation in automotive engineering, particularly in the areas of powertrain and suspension systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Highly Limited Competition-Only Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/competitiononly-vehicle.md) - [Callback American Muscle Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dodge-charger-super-bee.md) - [Highly-Customizable Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellcat.md) - [Immersive Muscle Car Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextgeneration-muscle-car.md) - [Electric Stealthy Production Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charger-daytona-electric.md) - [Riproaring Convertible Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-convertible-supercar.md) - [Remastered Iconic Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remastered-iconic-supercar.md) - [Rear-Wheel Drive Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huracan-tecnica.md) - [Inaugural Electric Muscle Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charger-daytona-srt.md)
