Mopar rolling in to SEMA with Challenger ACR

Mopar rolling in to SEMA with Challenger ACR

Since the Chrysler Group joined up with Fiat, its brand portfolio has grown to include Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat vehicles. And you know what that means: more stuff for Mopar to tinker with. That's just what Auburn Hills has got in store for the upcoming SEMA show in Vegas, with a whole slew of show cars to demonstrate just what the group's performance parts division can do.

The Chrysler brand itself will be represented by the 300 SF6, dedicated to the Spring Festival of Chrysler 300 owners in Southern California. It's distinguished by 22-inch alloys, a KW coil-over suspension and upgraded brakes, intake, headers and exhaust – all from the Mopar parts bin – plus special trim inside and out.

Over at Dodge, the Challenger SRT8 gets the ACR treatment with upgraded suspension, shifter, front splitter, exhaust and 20-inch wheels, capped by a paint job evocative of the much-loved Viper ACR. It's joined by the Durango Tow Hook, decked out in orange and black with 22-inch rolling stock on a dropped suspension.

Fiat continues to make the most of the 500 with two specials called Titanium and Carbon. The former takes its name from the matte-finish brightwork and 16-inch wheels that contrast with the black paint, with enlarged grilles feeding the upgraded intake and exhaust systems. The latter, meanwhile, decks out a 500 Sport in deep blue with carbon-fiber accents and blacked-out trim and 17-inch alloys, riding on a lowered suspension.

Finally, the Ram division is represented by the 392 Quick Silver, dropping a 470-horsepower Hemi V8 into the Ram R/T's engine bay. 22-inch wheels on a lowered suspension house 15-inch Brembo brakes to keep it under control, with a body glazed in silver with red accents and a black roof to do the talking.

These are just five of the 30 "Moparized" vehicles Chrysler will be displaying at the aftermarket expo, and while they've only released four renderings to keep us tantalized, you can scope out all the details in the press release after the jump.

Ram Expands Range with New 1500 Mossy Oak Edition and Power Wagon ST and Laramie Models

The Chrysler Group's Ram division presented three new pickup truck variants today, including the 2012 1500 Mossy Oak Edition and the Power Wagon ST and Laramie models. Staring off with the 2012 Ram 1500 Mossy Oak , the special edition version is set to arrive in dealerships in December 2011 with pricing set at US$39,910, including $995 destination charge.
The limited-run model was created in cooperation with Mossy Oak, which is a camouflage brand. This explains the odd-looking Mossy Oak Breakup Infinity trim on the center console and door panel inserts that have the opposite effect of camouflage…
Other details include the embroidered Mossy Oak logo on the four headrests and the firm's camouflage pattern on the bedcaps and tailgate.
Moving on to the Power Wagon, the pickup truck will be available in two additional models, the ST and Laramie.
The ST loses the chrome features of other models and comes with a single-tone paint and black grille, front/rear bumpers, fender flares and mirrors with optional clearance lamps. Rams says it expects the ST package to be popular with commercial buyers such as fire and emergency services, mining companies, oil exploration and forestry services. The ST carries an MSRP of $42,620, destination charge included.
The Power Wagon Laramie on the other hand is aimed at customers looking for more luxury adding several comfort and convenience features, such as leather seats, a premium audio system, dual-zone A/C and woodgrain dash and door panels. Exterior goods include body-colored fender flares, chrome mirrors, bumpers and grille, and unique badging. Pricing starts from $51,995, including a $995 destination charge.
