The Mopar brand is showcasing a large lineup of vehicles transformed
with production and concept parts and accessories at the Specialty
Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, Nov. 3-6 at the Las Vegas
Convention Center.
The Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep
®, Ram and FIAT customized
vehicles will spread out over the vast 15,345-square-foot Mopar SEMA
display. In addition, hundreds of Mopar products - from engines to
wheels to lift kits and much more - will be showcased at the premier
automotive specialty products trade show.
"The lineup of Mopar-modified vehicles premiering at SEMA represents
real-world examples of our brand's continued commitment to helping
owners create customized dream rides that suit their specific lifestyles
and passions," said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar),
FCA - Global. "It doesn't matter if you drive an SUV, pickup truck,
commercial vehicle, compact crossover, sedan or a muscle car. Mopar has
the products to help make each vehicle your own."
Some of the Mopar modified vehicles at the show include:
Dodge Challenger GT AWD Concept
It's V-8 muscle with all-wheel drive. Yes, you read that right. The
Dodge Challenger GT AWD Concept is a one-of-a-kind, year-round muscle
car that lets you have your cake and eat it too, combining wickedly fast
power and performance with the confidence of increased traction.
Mopar stepped outside its usual color palette in designing the Dodge
Challenger GT AWD Concept, choosing Header Orange highlights to line the
grille and taillight surround of the Destroyer Grey body. Header Orange
continues as a distinct contrast point for the Destroyer Grey body
color stripe that runs through the Matte Black paint blanketing the
upper portion of the vehicle, from tip to rear. Mirror caps are also
painted with Header Orange accent stripes.
The Challenger GT AWD Concept enhances its signature muscle car
proportions, bulging out with Mopar's concept wide body kit and its
massive wheel flares housing concept Mopar five-spoke wheels: 20-inch x
10-inch on the front and 20-inch x 11-inch on the rear. Mopar center
caps are painted to match the body and wheels.
The body kit compliments Challenger's heritage-inspired styling,
adding an aggressive profile with a front chin splitter and rear
spoiler, which are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Additional Mopar modifications dress up the rear, including quad Mopar
exhaust tips painted in a powder-coated Satin Black, a Mopar fuel filler
door painted Satin Black with a unique Mopar graphic and a concept
Mopar Design decklid badge.
The interior takes cues from the exterior, with Header Orange
stitching embellishing the rich Katzkin leather seats, center console,
shifter boot and side panels. The Katzkin seats are also upgraded with
medium taupe suede inserts. Additional control is gained for navigating
tight corners with a flat-bottom steering wheel. Mopar door sill guards
with the Challenger logo and a trunk mat round out the interior.
The vehicle's 5.7-liter HEMI
® V-8 engine uses an AWD
package to power all four wheels, paired with an eight-speed
transmission. The 5.7-liter engine is upgraded with the Scat Pack 3
Performance Kit, which delivers a boost of up to 75 more horsepower and
an additional 44 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Scat Pack 3 Performance Kit maximizes gains achieved by the Scat
Pack 1 and Scat Pack 2 kits by adding new Mopar Performance CNC-ported
cylinder heads, Mopar hi-flow manifolds and hi-flow catalysts, a gasket
set, exhaust manifolds, exhaust adapter, mounting brackets, hardware and
two Scat Pack 3 badges. The Scat Pack 3 kit - as with Scat Pack 1 and 2
- boosts performance while maintaining the factory warranty.
A concept Mopar suspension kit drops the Challenger GT AWD Concept
closer to the road, lowering the vehicle's center of gravity for
race-inspired handling, with an assist from production Mopar performance
front and rear strut tower braces.
Dodge Charger Deep Stage 3
For the Dodge Charger Deep Stage 3, Mopar injected up to 75
additional horsepower with the Mopar Scat Pack 3 Kit and then for good
measure bolted on a selection of production and concept Mopar products
to create a completely original, performance-driven version of the
world's only four-door muscle car.
The Silver Bullet exterior color is masked by full-length Matte Black
paint covering the top of the vehicle. Body color comes through the
Matte Black via center stripes bordered by Mopar Blue tracer accents.
The styling, inspired by the second-generation Charger from the late
1960s, is modified with a concept Mopar body kit, including a front chin
splitter, side sills, rear spoiler and unique rear valance, providing
an aggressive look while augmenting aerodynamic characteristics.
In keeping with the Charger Deep Stage 3's name, it rolls on concept
Mopar Dark Bronze 22-inch Classic III wheels, with color matched Mopar
center caps. A concept Mopar decal flanks both front fenders, with Scat
Pack 3 badges and a Mopar Design decklid badge displayed.
Heading inside, concept Katzkin leather seats boast such selections
as a special R/T embroidery with a blue surround and the R/T logo
centered in black to pick up on exterior cues, perforated Katzkin fog
suede seat inserts and Mopar blue stitching on the armrests, steering
wheel and seat inserts. Pulled from the Mopar catalog are door sill
guards emblazoned with the Charger logo, premium carpet floor mats and a
cargo mat carry metal Dodge badging.
Powered by the 5.7-liter HEMI engine, the Charger Deep Stage 3 is
punched up in three phases by the trio of Mopar Scat Pack Performance
kits. Mopar Scat Pack 1 and Scat Pack 2 upgrades, featuring a Mopar
cold-air intake, Mopar cat-back exhaust, Mopar low-restriction oil
filter, new Mopar Performance camshaft, a set of Mopar Performance valve
springs, tie bars, upgraded pushrods and all the gaskets, are finished
off with an up to 75 horsepower boost and 44 lb.-ft. of torque
improvement of the Scat Pack 3 kit.
A Mopar coilover lowering kit enhances handling while providing a
menacing appearance by bringing the Charger Deep Stage 3 closer to the
street. Mopar Performance front and rear strut tower braces keep the
tires in contact with the road. Reining in the car's horsepower is a job
the Mopar Big Brake Kit is equipped to handle.
Dodge Dart GLH Concept
The Dodge Omni GLH (Goes Like Hell) owns a special spot in the Dodge
brand's 100-plus year pantheon, and the brand's current compact car pays
homage to that beloved 1980s-era ride with the Dodge Dart GLH Concept.
The athletic, stylish exterior of the Dodge Dart GLH Concept is
colored Pitch Black and looks ready to pounce with an in-your-face,
production front fascia with concept grille details and a Mopar
Performance aluminum hood. A production front chin splitter, side sill
accents and rear fascia diffuser form a Mopar body kit that creates a
speedy, nimble appearance.
Red accents on the lower body provide an outline reminiscent of the
original Omni GLH. The Dart GLH Concept rides on lightweight Mopar
18-inch wheels, painted anodized black, with matching Mopar center caps.
Stopping power is upgraded with a Dart high-performance brake kit by
Mopar. Exhaust tips add an aggressive growl, and a Mopar Design badge
adorns the decklid.
Inside, the all-black Katzkin leather seats are modified with concept
red mesh seat inserts and red stitch accent touches on the bolsters and
armrest. Red on the door pulls and instrument panel tracer are
production offerings. The enhanced interior adds extra performance with a
Dodge sport steering wheel, Mopar pedal kit, Mopar shift knob, Mopar
premium carpet mats and Mopar door sill guards featuring the Dart
logo.
Chrysler 300 Super S
Style and sophistication can meld harmoniously with performance and
attitude. For proof, take the Chrysler 300 Super S. The bold persona of
the customized Chrysler 300 Super S begins with a concept, aggressive
front fascia. More than 300 unique "Easter eggs" are hidden on the Matte
Black grille, where miniature Mopar "M" letters, painted Dark Hyper
Black low gloss, dot the entire grille.
The lowered body (thanks to a Mopar coilover lowering kit) is planted
on concept Mopar 22-inch wheels at the front and rear. Like the Mopar
"M" grille lettering, production Mopar center caps are painted to match
the Dark Hyper Black low gloss wheels, which are set off stunningly
against the Matte Cerulean exterior finish. At the back, a concept rear
valence and a deck-lid spoiler from the Mopar brand portfolio drive the
tires to the pavement. Unique 300 Super S and Mopar Design badges round
out the exterior appointments.
The aggressiveness of the exterior is paired with premium styling
inside. Concept Katzkin light grey leather seats are trimmed in blue
stitching, as are the armrests, with blue flourishes also featured on
the side panels and instrument panel. The production 300's rotary
shifter has been swapped out for a concept polystable T-handle shifter
and the steering wheel replaced with a sportier, flat-bottom version.
Production Mopar door sill guards carry the Chrysler logo, and premium
carpet floor mats and a cargo mat feature metal badging.
Beneath the 300 Super S hood lurks a powerful beast. The 5.7-liter
HEMI engine is beefed up with Mopar Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Upgrade
Kits, which exactly mimic the modifications and performance boosts
delivered by Mopar Scat Pack Performance kits available for the
5.7-liter HEMI engine-equipped Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger
vehicles.
Additional Mopar production parts include front and rear performance
strut tower braces, which provide extra stiffness for cornering and
handling, as well as a Mopar Big Brake Kit.
Chrysler 200 S Mopar
The Chrysler brand's mid-size sedan receives an "attitude adjustment"
with a mix of production and concept Mopar parts and accessories used
to create the Chrysler 200 S Mopar.
A more muscular look is achieved on the Ceramic Grey Metallic
exterior of the 200 S Mopar with the addition of a production Mopar body
kit, including a front chin splitter, side sills and rear valance. A
concept, dual-vented Mopar performance hood elevates performance and
appearance. Large, production Mopar 19-inch wheels are painted a unique
Satin Black finish, set off distinctly against the Ceramic Grey Metallic
skin. Other exterior features include concept exhaust tips and the
Mopar Design badge.
Inside, the concept Katzkin leather seats with perforated inserts are
outlined in Mopar Blue piping, with blue also coloring the instrument
panel and portions of the door panel. Mopar premium carpet mats and a
Mopar pedal kit further dress up the interior.
The V-6 Pentastar engine of the Chrysler 200 S Mopar is kicked up by
adding a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake. A Mopar production
suspension lowering kit helps the 200 S Mopar ride nearer to the ground
and improve handling and drivability. A Mopar Big Brake Kit provides
additional stopping power.
Fiat 500X Chicane
The Fiat 500X makes its SEMA Show debut in 2015, and Mopar is using a
pair of the compact crossovers - including the Fiat 500X Chicane - to
showcase how Mopar can take the vehicle's iconic Italian style,
functionality and performance and personalize it to fit a variety of
lifestyles.
The Fiat 500X Chicane is a street-tuner vehicle, designed to buzz
through urban areas with a concept Mopar fascia, body cladding and
concept oversized 20-inch two-tone Satin Black and Gloss Black wheels.
The
pop of the gloss Competition Blue exterior is accented with a concept
Chicane bodyside stripe and concept Gloss Black paint on the roof.
Mopar pulls from its more than 100 genuine accessories designed
especially for the Fiat 500X to customize the Chicane's cockpit.
Upgrades include a bright pedal kit, concept satin black door sill
guards emblazoned with the 500X logo, a 500X logo-embossed premium
carpet mat, a cargo management kit and a telescopic bar organizer, all
from the Mopar portfolio.
Bringing the exterior into the interior, the Katzkin leather seats
are bordered in blue, and blue also colors the instrument panel and
surrounds the FIAT badge at the center of the steering wheel. Areas of
the chrome bezel trim have been blacked out.
Powered by a 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir2 engine paired with a
nine-speed automatic transmission, the 500X Chicane is designed to hug
city streets with a concept lowering kit. A concept cat-back exhaust
provides additional power, and concept exhaust tips add to the
appearance.
Fiat 500X Mobe
The Fiat 500X Mobe, named after a kite-surfing trick, is customized
with off-the-shelf Mopar products to haul toys to the beach in search of
surf and sand.
The Ivory Pearl exterior is accented with Matte Bronze paint on the
hood, roof, mirror caps and lower grille surround. The lower sides of
the all-wheel-drive 500X Mobe are embellished with "X" stripe graphics
from Mopar, colored in concept Mopar Blue. The same blue touches a
single pocket of the production 18-inch wheels, painted in two-tone
Matte Bronze and Satin Black.
A Mopar roof rack, featuring special Mopar logo graphics, works in
concert with side rails to create a perfect transport for a kiteboard or
other recreational equipment. Moving to the interior, a blue kite
surfer decal keeps with the vehicle's theme and ties in with the accent
blue seat inserts embroidered with the "X" logo.
The 500X logo adorns the Mopar door sill guards modified with Matte
Bronze paint, with the FIAT logo on the black molded cargo tray (perfect
for storing gear), premium front all-weather mats and emergency first
aid kit. An additional spot to store gear is provided through a head
restraint-mounted coat hanger.
The 500X Mobe's 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir2 engine (also mated to a
nine-speed automatic transmission) receives a performance bump via a
cat-back exhaust, accompanied by exhaust tips.
Ram Rebel X
The Ram 1500 Rebel makes a statement by itself. Mopar helps proclaim
its all-terrain credentials even louder with the Ram Rebel X, a
full-size pickup outfitted with a catalog of production parts and
accessories.
The unique dark Copper exterior extends to the functional sport
performance hood, accented with a Matte Black graphic trimmed with a
Mopar Blue tracer. Mopar wheel flares extend over the 35-inch Toyo
tires, which wrap around 17-inch cast-aluminum beadlock wheels that
equip the 1500 Rebel for rumbles over off-road terrain. Painted
functional beadlock rings with fasteners are also featured on the
beadlock wheels, with Mopar center caps providing another highlight to
the rims.
The front features the distinctive Rebel grille with the RAM logo
painted in Satin Black and a concept two-piece skid plate. The bed is
stylishly secured with a soft tri-fold tonneau cover, and a Mopar dual
exhaust bed step helps reach tools or equipment stored in the rear.
Black tubular side steps provide a lift into the interior, which
features prototype Katzkin leather seats embroidered with the Rebel X
name outlined in silver in a black field, with a blue field for the "X."
Copper stitching accents the armrest and steering wheel. Additional
features inside include all-weather slush mats, a pedal kit and door
sills.
The Ram Rebel X, powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI engine, is also tuned up
to tame the streets and beyond. A Mopar 5.7-liter cold-air intake,
cat-back exhaust and exhaust tips, fed by an active Ram Air duct,
enhance the performance capabilities, with a concept air ride suspension
smoothing out the ride.
Ram ProMaster City DiveMaster
Mopar has a full portfolio to draw from in bestowing the Ram brand's
purpose-built van with a unique, active personality, offering up a
scuba-themed approach to the Ram ProMaster City DiveMaster.
No one will mistake this ProMaster City for an ordinary commercial
van. A flowing, gradient color palette "aquatically" illustrates the
exterior, stepping from white to Ocean Blue to mirror a scuba diver's
deep sea perspective. Matte black paint covers the hood, a slice of the
front end and the side windows, which also sport a distinctive "Mopar
Ram Deep Dive Scuba Shop" decal.
The mirror caps are creatively customized with the iconic red and
white "diver down" flag, and a scuba diver silhouette draws eyes to the
hood. The ProMaster City DiveMaster rides on 17-inch concept wheels.
Functional Mopar accessories include side rails, a locking fuel cap and
wheel locks.
The interior boasts Mopar blue seat inserts and blue stitching on the
Katzkin leather first- and second-row seats, with Mopar logo
embroidery. In the cargo area, custom racks and shelving help organize
scuba gear, with a unique spray-on floor liner offering protection. The
rear doors also double as scuba gear storage space and a TV screen
mounting area. Mopar LED lights brighten up the cargo space to locate
equipment or prepare for nighttime dives. All-weather floor mats are
also added.
Ram ProMaster DragMaster
Switching from scuba to the strip, the Ram ProMaster DragMaster is
equipped for double duty, serving as a tow vehicle for a drag racing
machine, as well as a pit vehicle with the space needed to store tools
and performance parts.
The white exterior is embellished with the Mopar Performance logo on
the sliding cargo door, with the blue Mopar logo emblazoned on the rear
doors and "MOPAR" text in white displayed on the windshield. A Mopar
blue stripe on the side echoes that of the tow vehicle - the all-new,
supercharged Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.
The DragMaster sits on concept painted 16-inch wheels and is
outfitted with additional production Mopar accessories, including a
locking fuel filler cap and a hitch receiver with trailer tow wiring
harness. Other exterior Mopar mods include a side step, fog lights and
wheel locks.
Custom shelves and racks provide a mobile pit stall to store the
tools and performance parts required to go fast on the quarter-mile.
Mopar LED cargo lights provide illumination for late-night race fixes or
prep, and additional production Mopar accessories include all-weather
mats, cargo area floor covering and D-pillar and B-pillar handles. A
raised headliner provides extra headroom for racers or crew working in
the cargo area.
The Mopar stand will also display modified Jeep brand vehicles such
as the Jeep Chief, Jeep Wrangler Red Rock Responder, Jeep Cherokee
Canyon Trail and the Jeep Renegade Desert Hawk. All of these concepts
debuted at the 2015 Moab Easter Jeep Safari.
