Mopar celebrated 75 years of supplying parts and power to Chrysler cars with the reveal of a quartet of customized vehicles on Tuesday that showcase the brand's heritage and future potential.
The Mopar '12 Chrysler 300, Dodge Dart GTS 210 Tribute, Fiat
500 Stinger and Jeep Compass True North get a range of cosmetic and
performance upgrades, and they will be on display in February at the Chicago auto show.
They follow Mopar's recent creations, the Dodge Charger Redline and the Chrysler 200 Super S, which debuted in January at the Detroit auto show.
Like
the other three rides revealed on Tuesday in Center Line, Mich., the
Mopar '12 300 looks like something straight out of SEMA, with sinister
black paint and body finishings. There's a seven-bar grille done up in
black chrome and black-accented headlamp bezels and fascia.
Dubbed
the “Street Machine,” this rear-wheel 300 gets blue A-line body stripes
and interior accents. It rolls on blacked-out 20-inch wheels and gets
Mopar 75th-anniversary badging inside and out. The cabin has black
leather and Mopar sill plates and a shift handle. The ride is powered by
the stock Hemi V8 rated at 363 hp and paired with a five-speed
automatic with paddle shifters. This 300 also is fitted with a sport
suspension, which is stiffer than that of the base version.
The Mopar-tuned 300 will launch this year and with a price of $49,700, including destination charges. Just 500 will be produced.
The
2013 Dart GTS Tribute has two stages of customization. Stage one is an
appearance pack that adds matte black to the spoiler, side sills and
rear diffuser. It also gets a carbon-fiber hood with an air scoop, and
it rolls on 18-inch alloys. Stage two adds an improved air intake and
exhaust, boosting horsepower from 184 hp in stock trim to 210 ponies in
this variant.
The 2012 Fiat 500
Stinger gets yellow paint, 17-inch wheels, tinted lights and an
upgraded interior complete with a Mopar shifter ball for its first
stage. The second stage increases horsepower with intake and exhaust
enhancements.
The 2012 Mopar Jeep Compass True North gets
matte-black exterior finishes, including to the fascia, wheel flares and
grille. It rides on 16-inch alloy wheels and has a two-inch lift kit
for off-roading enthusiasts. The inside gets a bolstered audio system
and Mopar bright pedal kit.
