About the Dodge Viper GTS-R #94 Viper Team Oreca O. Beretta / T. Archer / D. Dupuy 24 Hours of Daytona 1997 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Dodge Viper GTS-R #94 recreates Team Oreca's 1997 24 Hours of Daytona entry, driven by Olivier Beretta, Tommy Archer, and David Dupuy. The wide fender flares and rear wing carry over in sharp diecast detail, a strong subject for an IMSA endurance racing display.

American muscle rarely looked as purposeful on an endurance grid as the Viper GTS-R did, and AUTOart's #94 diecast keeps every flared arch and vent intact.

Wide-Body Racing Detail in AUTOart Diecast

The GTS-R's bodywork widens dramatically over the road-going Viper's already broad shoulders, with flared arches accommodating racing rubber and a deep front splitter feeding cooling ducts the street car never needed, and AUTOart's diecast reproduces that widened stance with genuine presence. Team Oreca's #94 livery layers sponsor graphics and number boards across the bodywork, and AUTOart applies them with the crisp registration that a livery-heavy racing subject demands, since a slightly misaligned decal would undercut the whole effect. The rear wing sits high and confidently, exactly as period GT racing regulations allowed, and the diecast build gives the model enough heft to feel like the genuinely muscular racer it represents rather than a lightweight toy.

Team Oreca's 1997 Daytona Entry

Team Oreca fielded the Viper GTS-R in GT racing through the late 1990s, and this #94 example ran the 1997 24 Hours of Daytona with Olivier Beretta, Tommy Archer, and David Dupuy sharing driving duties, part of the era when Dodge's V10-powered GT car established itself as a genuine threat to established European GT manufacturers. That French-run, American-built combination gives the Viper GTS-R a distinctive place in 1990s GT racing history, bridging Detroit muscle and European endurance racing convention. Displayed alongside period Porsche or Ferrari GT racers, this Viper's width and aggressive stance make an immediate visual statement about a different approach to the same competitive class.
