The 1998 Viper originally belonged to Zakspeed Racing, but was purchased
in 2010 by someone who wanted to recreate the Viper in the original
design present during the vehicle’s win at the 1999 legendary 24 h at
the Nürburgring, and make it street legal. For this, they turned to
Heurich Classics, a Germany tuning firm that specializes in maintaining
and repairing vintage classics.

Many changes had to take place in order for this classic racer to be
turned into a street legal mad machine. The Viper had to get its spoiler
cut, its rear diffuser removed, and its side channels rebuilt, as well
as its brake system changed. New tires and wheels were special ordered
and a new hand brake system with CNC-machined caliper carriers was
installed. For the interior, the seats, harness, and glazing were
renewed, and new passenger seats were installed. All of the electrical
work was also redone. The finishing touch was provided with the
traditional colors and livery of the original Hasseroder Viper GTS-R.
