Dodge introduced the GTS, new coupe version of the Viper. Dubbed the “double bubble”, he roof featured slightly raised sections that looked like a bubble to accommodate the usage of helmets and taking design cues from the Pete Brock designed Shelby Daytona.[9] More than 90% of the GTS was new in comparison to the RT/10 despite similar looks. The GTS would come with the same 8.0 liter V-10 engine but power would be increased to 450hp (336kW). The 96 GTS would be the first Viper to be equipped with airbags and also included air conditioning, ower windows and door locks.[10]

The 1996 Viper GTS would be chosen as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500.[11]

1997-1999[edit]

Minor updates would continue in 1997 and 1998. In 1997, he RT/10 would receive the 450HP GTS engine along with air-bags and power windows. 1998 Vipers were equipped with second-generation air bags, evised exhaust manifolds (saving 24lbs over the previous cast iron components) along with a revised camshaft.

For 1999, he Viper received 18 inch wheels, ower side mirrors and a handful of other interior upgrades.[12]
