2027 Dodge Viper Colors: Status for USA Buyers – There is no 2027 Dodge Viper and therefore no official factory colors for a 2027 model. The iconic American sports car ended production after the 2017 model year. Official Dodge sources and recent statements from Stellantis leadership confirm it remains discontinued with no plans for a return.
This article covers the current status for U.S. buyers, the final-year color options that collectors still seek, the reasons for discontinuation, and what Dodge is planning next in the “snake” theme.
Is There a 2027 Dodge Viper?
No. The fifth-generation Dodge Viper (VX I, also badged SRT Viper in some years) was the final version. Production at the Conner Avenue Assembly plant in Detroit ended in August 2017.
Dodge’s official site states the Viper is “now out of production” and directs enthusiasts to pre-owned vehicles or parts support. Recent residual “new” sales of leftover 2017 cars have occurred in later years, but none were 2027 models, and sales of those leftovers reached zero in the most recent full reporting period.
U.S. shoppers searching for a 2027 Viper will find only used examples from earlier generations, primarily 2013–2017 cars.
Why the Dodge Viper Was Discontinued?
Safety regulations were the decisive factor. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 226 (ejection mitigation) required side-curtain airbags that the Viper’s extremely low, tightly packaged cabin could not accommodate without a full redesign of the roof and structure. Head of SRT Tim Kuniskis has publicly stated that the car “reached the end of its lifecycle” and that packaging an airbag “right over your ear” was not feasible.
Low sales volume (under 600 units in the final year) made a ground-up redesign economically unjustifiable. A modern Viper would also likely have needed an automatic or dual-clutch transmission, further distancing it from the pure analog character that defined the model.
Popular Dodge Viper Colors from the Final Years
The 2017 model year offered a strong mix of standard and special colors, plus the famous “1 of 1” program. Factory exterior colors included:
- Adrenaline Red
- Venom Black Clearcoat
- Viper White (or Viper Bright White) Clearcoat
- Yorange Clearcoat
- Competition Blue
- GTS-R Blue Pearlcoat
- Gunmetal Pearl
- Billet Silver Metallic
- Anodized Carbon (matte finish)
- Stryker Green Tri-Coat Pearl, Stryker Orange Tri-Coat Pearl, and Stryker Purple Tri-Coat Pearl
- Ceramic Blue (on certain packages)
Special editions added distinctive schemes such as Snakeskin Green (inspired by the 2010 ACR and offered on limited 2017 ACR and GTC cars) and the GTS-R Commemorative Edition (Pearl White with Blue Pearl GTS stripes).
These colors remain highly sought after on the used market in the United States. Adrenaline Red, Venom Black, and the various blues and greens are among the most frequently seen and discussed by collectors.
The Legendary 1-of-1 Customization Program
For 2016–2017 Vipers (especially GTC and ACR), Dodge offered an industry-leading personalization program. Buyers could choose from more than 16,000 exterior color options (gloss or matte finishes) and more than 48,000 unique stripe combinations, along with multiple wheel, aero, brake, suspension, and interior choices. The result was over 50 million possible build combinations, with each configuration unique within the model year.
This program is a key reason late-model Vipers command premium prices among U.S. enthusiasts who want a truly one-of-a-kind example.
Looking Ahead: Dodge Copperhead Instead of a New Viper
Dodge has no plans to revive the Viper name. Instead, the brand is developing a new halo vehicle called the Copperhead (reviving a late-1990s concept name). Company leadership has repeatedly described it as “not a Viper successor” but “still a snake”—a more extreme, track-focused “hyper muscle car.” It is expected later in the decade (commonly projected around the 2029 model year), not for 2027.
No official colors or full specifications for the Copperhead have been released as of August 2026.
Where to Find a Classic Viper in the USA?
U.S. buyers interested in Viper ownership should focus on the used market. Clean 2013–2017 examples appear regularly through specialty dealers, auctions, and enthusiast platforms. Popular colors such as Adrenaline Red, Snakeskin Green, and the various blues tend to attract strong interest. Always verify service history, especially for the hand-built nature of the cars and any track use.
In short, there are no 2027 Dodge Viper colors because there is no 2027 Dodge Viper. The final factory palette from 2017, combined with the extensive 1-of-1 options, continues to define what American enthusiasts look for when hunting these rare V10 supercars.
