Fabled tuner Hurst has released the first photos of their limited-run Hurst Viper and it's gold, badass and up for sale at the next Barrett-Jackson auction.
Following on the heels of the Hurst Hemi Challenger, this new Viper will get a visual enhancement consisting of new aluminum wheels and the company's famous gold stripes on the outside and lots of leather on the inside. Performance upgrades appear to be limited to a revised suspension and a Corsa exhaust.
The first of 50 Hurst Vipers, in stunning gold-on-black, will be up for auction at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction with the proceeds going to benefit Victory Junction, a camping ground for kids with serious illnesses. We suspect it's appropriate given how sick the Viper is.
