This Dodge Viper V10 Engine Has Been Turned Into a Coffee Table

A Dodge Viper V10 engine turned into a glass-topped coffee table is up for auction on Bring a Trailer, offering Viper fans a way to bring an 8.3-liter centerpiece into their living room without needing a four-car garage.

Built from genuine Gen 3 Viper hardware and finished as functional furniture, the piece is being sold at no reserve out of Pompano Beach, Florida.

A Gen 3 Viper Heart Turned Into Furniture

The table is built around the 8.3-liter V10 from a third-generation Dodge Viper (ZB I, roughly 2003–2006), the same family of engines that produced about 500 horsepower when complete and installed in a car. For coffee-table duty, the motor has been stripped of its internal components and reassembled as a display piece, keeping the weight manageable while preserving the unmistakable architecture of the big V10.

The block and intake manifold are finished in black, the exhaust manifolds in silver, and the cam covers in red with Viper script, echoing the look of a complete engine bay. The whole unit sits on “piston feet” mounted beneath the block, so the pistons themselves serve as the visible supports. Above it all is a tempered-glass top measuring roughly 44 by 44 inches and standing about 21.5 inches high, with a central cutout that lets the intake plenum rise through the glass as the focal point.

Real Viper Hardware, Built As A One-Off Showpiece

The seller states the components were cleaned and refinished before assembly in 2025. It’s strictly a display piece, not a running engine, but the detail level is higher than many generic “engine tables” that rely on dummy parts or covers. The table is listed in BaT’s automobilia category with a 10% buyer’s fee paid to the platform and the hammer price going directly to the seller.

This kind of repurposed powertrain fits into a broader wave of Viper-specific collectibles. At the high end, some collectors are chasing full cars, from VIN 001 and 002 ultra-rare Hurst-edition Dodge Vipers  to highly unusual builds. Preservation-focused examples, show how far some enthusiasts will go to keep their cars untouched.

By comparison, this V10 coffee table is more about display than originality. But for someone who wants a genuine Viper engine as the centerpiece of a garage lounge, office, or living room, it may be one of the more practical ways to own a piece of the car’s hardware without buying an entire snake.
