Drive the 2013 SRT Viper GTS – Available both in Forza Horizon, as well as in a soon-to-be-released free download for Forza fans, the 2013 SRT Viper is a car that must be driven to be believed. This American supercar will be playable by Le Mans attendees both in the Forza Horizon demo, as well as in Forza Motorsport 4.

My guess is the release will coincide with the ALMS Debut of the Viper race car.

Speaking of which here's a video of the Viper's test in May.

Shaggy,

Nice find. Thank you.  I really hope the car is available for the weekend of the 24 hours of Le Mans.  That would be fitting.

I peruse FM.net's forums so you don't have too.  :-)
 
It would be a very nice surprise to get the Viper this weekend, but I don't think it'll happen.
My guess is the release of the DLC will coincide with the ALMS debut of the Viper GTS-R race car which, last I'd read, was around the Mid-Ohio race on August 2-4.
 
We probably won't see the GTS-R in Forza until well after the ALMS season is over when T10 would have better access to the car and actual race data to build an accurate in-game version.
I don't know what the arrangement is between T10 and SRT, but if I was a race team owner/manager, I'm not sure I'd like the idea of handing over my brand new race car and valuable test data to a video game developer while I'm trying to get it ready for it's first race.
 
Besides why give away the race car now when T10 can sell it in a car pack later?

Well, the Viper seems ready to go. We've seen footage from the reveal and now from the Horizon demo. What could there b left to do? You're point about the race version is a very good one so I am inclined to agree. Sad though. I really can't wait to get the GTS-R.

“The Viper is Coming”

One final bit of news before we wrap things up and prepare for a busy weekend of Forza 4 fun. If you’re been eagerly awaiting the release of the 2013 SRT Viper for Forza 4, I’m happy to tell you that the pack will be available on June 22! This will be a FREE download in Forza Motorsport 4 and will include both a drivable version of the Viper as well as a Viper Autovista experience. As a free car in Forza 4 and the cover car of Forza Horizon, the Viper is sure to be a fan-favorite, so make sure you get yours when the pack is released next Friday!

 
Based on this I'd say it's just the production SRT.  At least we have a release date.

But I don't want the Autovista car... I don't have that kind of Hard Drive room! LOL
