Buy This Pink 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10 and Get Ready for the Barbie Sequel

The Dodge Viper, a supercar that was in production for over 15 years, was discontinued in 2017 and is no longer being manufactured. However, Stellantis managed to sell one brand new Viper last year, following the delivery of 10 units of the model the previous year. If you missed out on purchasing one of those remaining Vipers, don’t worry – there is currently a unique 2002 model listed for sale in Maryland.

Unlike your typical Viper, this particular car has a distinctive feature. Although it appears to be a standard RT/10 from the 2002 model year, it is painted in an uncommon color – pink. Pink was never offered as an official color option for the Viper, except for two units of a special edition model known as the Advanced Aero Solid Edition, which was available during the 2017 model year. The previous owner of this car decided to repaint it, so pink is not its original color. From the available photos, the body of the car seems to be in excellent condition, although it is unclear when it lost its original factory color.

Next-Gen Audi S5 Sportback Spotted for the First Time

The Audi A4 is being retired and will be replaced by the A5 model. This transition will also affect the performance versions of the car, including the S and RS variants. As a result, the A4/S4 Sedan will be discontinued, leaving only the A5/S5 models for the next generation. Recently, spy images have emerged showing the upcoming S5 in Sportback form, with its final production body and lights.

Although we have already seen the S5 Avant (wagon) being tested multiple times, this is the first time we are witnessing the Sportback version of the S5. It is still uncertain whether Audi will continue using the “Sportback” suffix for this model or simply call it the S5. The prototype appears to have a tailgate rather than a traditional trunk lid, indicating that the conventional sedan might soon be phased out.
