A unique example of the 2008 Dodge Viper ACR Hardcore sports car is up for sale in Canada, boasting an incredibly low mileage of just 24 kilometers. This car is referred to as a true “time capsule” due to its preserved condition: it has never been registered, has not undergone any pre-sale preparations, and, according to the owner, has never been driven on public roads.

The sale is organized through the Viper Club of America on Facebook. Throughout its life, the car has been stored in a climate-controlled environment. The factory protective films remain on the body, and the original price tag is still attached to the windshield.
Specifications of the 2008 Dodge Viper ACR Hardcore
The model is equipped with a naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V10 engine that produces 600 hp (447 kW) and a maximum torque of 759 Nm. The sports car lacks any modern driver assistance electronic systems: there is no stability control or traction control.
At the time of its launch in 2008, the base price was just under $115,000. Adjusted for inflation, this amounts to over $174,000 in 2026. Currently, the seller values the car at $185,000, which is approximately 7.4 million UAH.
Features of the Hardcore Package: Maximum Track Potential
The Hardcore package was specifically designed for track use. The car has had its air conditioning, audio system, amplifier, trunk carpeting, hood sound insulation, and even the tire compressor removed. This has allowed the sports car to be lightened by 18 kilograms.
Instead, the model features high-performance aerodynamics — at a speed of 241 km/h, it generates up to 454 kg of downforce, which is approximately 10 times more than the standard Viper SRT-10 at the same speed.
In 2009, only 245 units of the Viper ACR were produced. The version with the Hardcore package represents an even smaller fraction of that total. However, due to prolonged storage without use, the car may require maintenance, including seal replacements.
