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 Dodge Viper GTS-R #94 reproduces Team Oreca's 1997 24 Hours of Daytona entry, driven by Olivier Beretta, Archer, and Dupuy as part of Dodge's factory-supported GT racing effort. The French team's involvement gave the American Viper a genuinely international racing story.
An American muscle-car engine racing under a French team's banner is exactly the kind of detail that makes the Viper GTS-R program more interesting than a typical factory effort.
AUTOart's Reproduction of the #94 Daytona Entry
This diecast carries the correct #94 sponsor livery from the 1997 Daytona effort, with team and sponsor markings placed accurately across the Viper's wide, aggressive bodywork. AUTOart's construction gives the model real weight and detail depth, and the doors, hood, and rear hatch open on hinges typical of the brand's race-liveried models, revealing the roll cage and stripped-out cockpit that separate a GTS-R from any road Viper. The car's flared fenders and functional rear wing, both genuine aerodynamic aids rather than decoration, come through as sharp, defined shapes. Wheel and brake detail hold up under close inspection, matching the race-spec fitment the GTS-R actually ran rather than a road car's wheels.
Team Oreca's Role in the Viper's Racing Story
Dodge's GTS-R program leaned on outside racing expertise to compete at the top level of GT racing, and the French squad Oreca became one of the program's key partners, fielding cars in both European and American endurance events including the 24 Hours of Daytona. Olivier Beretta, alongside co-drivers Archer and Dupuy, campaigned this Viper as part of that effort, giving an unmistakably American car a genuinely international racing pedigree. For a collector building an IMSA or North American GT racing shelf, this Viper represents that cross-border partnership directly, standing out from the more common road-going Viper models that never left the showroom.
