After a brief hiatus, the Viper has made a triumphant return at the New York International Auto Show.

The 2013 SRT Viper, formally the Dodge Viper, was looking slick rolling out onto the floor of the auto show with a bright cherry-red coat against the black and grey SRT backdrop. Chrysler Group was eager to show off the updated (and all-leather) interior, the 18-speaker stereo system, new stability and traction control, and of course the all-aluminum, 8.4-liter V-10 engine. Road & Track even got video of Viper handlers revving up the engine before the show out in Los Angeles. The video is available below. For car lovers, the sound of that engine will be music to their ears.

So far, the unveiling of the Viper has been one of the highlights of the New York Auto Show. Fox News said that the Viper flat-out stole the show with “new levels of sexy enhanced by modern technology,” and the Los Angeles Times praised the Viper’s engine saying it had “more venom under the hood.”

Overall, most of the press agrees that the Viper has fully lived up to the massive hype leading up to the show, and it is easy to see why. This is a car that demands attention. The look is so visually striking that when it is in a room, it is tough to look at anything else, and luckily, the Viper has an engine and an interior to match. Chrysler Group should be proud of their work with the Viper. They gave this iconic car a truly spectacular welcome back.
