LAS VEGAS -- November 3, 2015: 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.
