Dodge Viper ACR Arrives in Forza Horizon 6 and LEGO Technic – Legendary V-10 Muscle Car Goes Digital and Brick-Built

On August 1, 2026, Dodge, Microsoft, and LEGO announced a three-way partnership bringing the legendary 2016 Dodge Viper ACR to Forza Horizon 6 and introducing a new LEGO Technic Dodge Viper GTS-R set (#42234). It marks the first time Dodge has simultaneously launched a digital and physical experience around a single vehicle.

In-Game Experience: Viper ACR with Exclusive LEGO Technic Livery

Starting today, the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is available in Forza Horizon 6 with an exclusive LEGO Technic livery that players can download and equip at no cost. The 2016 Viper ACR is powered by a hand-built 8.4-liter V-10 engine producing 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque – the fastest street-legal Viper track car Dodge has ever built.

Physical Model: LEGO Technic Dodge Viper GTS-R Now Available Globally

The LEGO Technic Dodge Viper GTS-R (#42234) is now available at LEGO retail stores and online worldwide. The model faithfully captures the Viper's signature long hood, wide stance, and side-exit exhaust design, allowing builders to appreciate the mechanical aesthetics of this American performance icon.

Dodge CEO: Connecting with the Next Generation of Muscle Car Fans

Matt McLear, Dodge CEO, said: "Partnering with Forza Horizon and LEGO is an exciting opportunity to bring the Dodge brand to fans in new ways. From the adrenaline of virtual high-performance driving to the innovation of building iconic Dodge vehicles with LEGO bricks, we're connecting enthusiasts to our performance heritage through experiences designed to inspire the next generation of muscle car fans."

Viper ACR: An American Track Legend

The Viper ACR – short for American Club Racer – debuted in 1999 as a track-focused variant of the second-generation Viper GTS. Over multiple generations, the ACR was engineered to maximize performance, earning a reputation for aggressive aerodynamics and record-setting capability. The Viper ACR has set production car lap records at six major North American circuits, including Laguna Seca, Sonoma Raceway, and Virginia International Raceway. With its side-exit exhaust and race-derived suspension, the Viper ACR is widely regarded as one of the greatest American track-focused production cars ever built.

Dodge Current Lineup Overview

The Dodge Charger multi-energy lineup includes:

• Charger R/T (SIXPACK) – 420 hp, the most standard horsepower of any muscle car

• Charger Scat Pack (3.0L Twin-Turbo H.O.) – 550 hp, the most powerful Hurricane engine currently in production

• Charger Daytona Scat Pack (BEV) – 670 hp, the quickest AWD muscle car

Every Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive and is available in both two-door coupe and four-door sedan configurations – because performance means choice.

The Dodge SUV lineup is equally powerful:

• Durango SRT Hellcat – 710 hp, the most powerful gasoline SUV ever

• Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak – over 14 million customization combinations

• Durango R/T 392 – the most horsepower per dollar in its class

Customers who purchase a Charger Scat Pack, Charger Daytona Scat Pack, or Durango SRT Hellcat also receive a day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School – the official Dodge//SRT high-performance driving school.

What This Means for the Dodge Parts Market

This cross-industry partnership between Dodge, Forza Horizon, and LEGO is fundamentally a brand-awareness investment targeting younger consumers. From a parts market perspective, increased brand visibility drives consumer interest in Dodge vehicles and their aftermarket ecosystem. The Viper ACR – though a relatively low-volume model – carries outsized cultural influence that extends across the entire Dodge lineup, benefiting Charger, Durango, and other high-volume nameplates.

For businesses focused on Dodge parts, this kind of cultural engagement matters: it brings new enthusiasts into the brand orbit, many of whom will eventually become owners or parts buyers.
