Chrysler Group has just released a teaser image of the limited-edition Mopar ’14 that will make an official debut next month. The premiere will happen at Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas.
The new muscle-car is prepared especially for those who love high octane and customizable performance. In fact, the Mopar ’14 will be one of the 20 customized vehicles on display at the event. Some of the vehicles included in the exhibit are the Mopar ’10 Challenger, Mopar ’11 Charger, Mopar ’12 300, and Mopar ’13 Dart. Jeep Performance Parts will be also on display.
Mopar is Chrysler’s service, parts and customer-care brand and its global portfolio features more than 500,000 parts and accessories distributed throughout more than 130 markets. The brand’s parts are one-of-a-kind and more importantly are engineered with the same precision by the same teams that create the factory Chrysler vehicles.
To make an impressive example, Mopar has introduced so far many industry-first features such as vehicle-information apps, electronic owner manuals, Wi-Fi inside the vehicle, wireless charging, Electronic Vehicle Tracking System (EVTS), wiAdvisor and wiTech. Another instance is the 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak which was the firs car that was equipped with 500-plus cubic-inch V-10 drag-race package.
Chrysler has just released the first sketches of select Mopar-modified vehicles, which are currently in preparation for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. The event will take place between 5th and 8th of November.
The developed Mopar-modified vehicles for SEMA show aim to inspire ultimate customization. In addition, to this the company will display 20 Mopar-modified Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat and SRT vehicles and will highlight Jeep Performance Parts developed by its newly created Mopar Off-Road Division.
Some of the Mopar-first features that are going to be present at the show include vehicle-information apps, for which Mopar was the first to introduce smartphone vehicle-information applications; electronic owner manuals – again the brand was the first to introduce traditional owner manuals in a DVD and brief user-guide format; Wi-Fi – Mopar was the first to offer customers the ability to make their vehicle a wireless hot spot; Wireless charging; Electronic Vehicle Tracking System (EVTS); wiAdvisor; wiTech and many more.
With the 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak, the brand was again the first to introduce a 500-plus cubic-inch V-10 drag-race package car. No additional information about the vehicles has been released so far. It is expected to be unveiled prior official reveal.
Mopar is known for delivering one of the best optimizations for vehicles around the world. Just like the off-road passion, the brand knows no boundaries. Its latest project is on Jeep Wrangler Rubicon which is equipped with the best specific off-road accessories.
The vehicle made its debut at the 17th edition of ‘Jeep-Heep-Heep’. This is an annual event staged at Crans-Montana (Switzerland) which this year happened between 28th and 29th of September. The show was organised for the first time in 1997, and since then it has grown in terms of number of participants, and audience and is today the third most important Jeep meeting in Europe.
To go further into details, the event includes off-road tracks with different degrees of difficulty, skill tests, current model showcases and sales stands. This year, Mopar decided to go to the event with an optimization of the two-door Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon.
In fact, this is the most off-road oriented model of the Jeep range. Given this fact and the fact that it is equipped with a Mopar accessory kit, the vehicle is undoubtedly unique and distinctive. For instance, what Mopar has done is to install a new Light Bar around the windscreen.
The Light Bar is offered with two or four lights, and can be fitted on all Wrangler models from 2007 onwards. In addition, the Rubicon also has unique new exterior, oversized tyres and reinforced front bumpers with built-in winch.
Only 500 examples of 2013 Dodge Dart Mopar will reach dealers with their limited-edition attitude. Prepared for this summer, the Mopar ’13 Dart wears a signature Pitch Black exterior with offset Mopar blue racing stripe running from nose to tail. The similar color theme was used in the Mopar editions for Dodge Charger, Challenger and Chrysler 300.
The interior of the car features seats which are covered in Katzkin leather. The driver’s seat is Mopar blue with black accents while the rest of the seats are black with blue accents. In addition, the steering wheel and shift knob are also wrapped in black leather but this time there is present a contrast blue stitching.
All in all, black is the dominant color throughout the interior. However, there are some color accents such as the Mopar blue lighting accenting the instrument panel.
Moreover, the engine under the hood of this special edition Dart is the turbocharged and intercooled 1.4-liter four-cylinder one. It generates 160 hp (118 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque. The unit is matched with a six-speed manual transmission.
What is more, the car will include also a Mopar sport-tuned exhaust. In addition, the height of the car is lowered by 7 millimeters when compared with the base Dart. Its looks are further accentuated via the Mopar ground effects kit which comprises of chin spoiler, deck-lid spoiler, rear diffuser, and low-profile 225/40R18 tires mounted on gloss-black 18-inch wheels and premium disc brakes with slotted rotors and a revised calibration.
Some of the additional features in this limited edition Mopar vehicle additional features include an 8.4-inch Uconnect screen, wireless charging for smartphones, bright sport-pedal kit, door-sill guards and premium Mopar floor mats.
2013 Dodge Dart Mopar Limited Edition has a starting price of $25 485.

Chrysler Mopar ’13 Limited Edition will be shown for the first time next month at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. However, the brand has shown part of its outstanding interior with an exclusive teaser image.
All that we know so far is what kind of Mopar treatment the car will include. First of all there will be vehicle-information applications, traditional owner manuals in a DVD and brief user-guide format (the information will be also included in Spanish), Wi-Fi which will make the vehicle a hot spot, wireless charging for portable devices.
In addition, there will be also Electronic Vehicle Tracking System (EVTS). This system sends the owner a text when the car is driven too fast or too far based on pre-set parameters. What is more, there will be also offered a brand-specific customer care telephone line services as well as WiTECH, which will support vehicle diagnosis and software updates.
What you’re looking at is a “Moparized” Ram Truck 1500 which recently won a time-trial showdown against a Ford SVT Raptor. We are talking hardcore off-road stuff here as the challenge was conducted at the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area, Southeast California – acres of dirt, mud and twigs. A 4.73 mile evaluation loop was set up by representatives from PickupTrucks.com and, with the help off-road truck racing champ Chad Ragland, both of the pickups were tested to their limit.
The Ram Truck then – it has a Mopar Runner kit which consists of a Pre-Runner Stage II Lift kit, an off-road fron bumper, front and rear fenders, a rear-tire carrier, sport performance hood and a cat-back exhaust.
The beefed up suspension is one of the most visible aspects of the Ram though – at the front, the upper and steel lower control arms are three inches longer each. Hence the wider wheel track. Heavy-duty outer tie roads size up to 1 inch in diameter. At the same time, the inner rods are as much as .13 inches beefier than the production ones. At the back, a 5-link coil spring rear suspension comes in handy when departure angles of up to 30 degrees take place. The Pre-Runner Stage II kit gives around 14-inches of overall ground clearance and utilizes Fox 3-inch internal bypass shocks.
The front bumper is all steel and has an integrated skid plate. The new fenders are from fiber glass and are more flarey in order to accommodate the wider track. The hood, although made of aluminum, is mostly for show. A spare-tire carrier in the bed of the truck proves more accessible and functional.
The whole kit costs at around $21,000 but Mopar are selling separate upgrades as well.
Working together, Jeep and Mopar have prepared themselves to tackle the annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah – an event that has already begun and will last until April the 8th. It is being held for the 46th time and is supposed to delight the hardcore off-road enthusiasts with lots of thrills, obstacles and challenges…bumpy challenges. Mopar, being already in the business for 75 years, is now creating a division that will exclusively deal with off-road vehicles:
“Mopar is tapping into a growing trend among extreme Jeep enthusiasts who want even more power and capability on the trail,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC’s service, parts and customer-care brand. “This year, Mopar is pushing the envelope in this arena by offering our customers new Pro 60 portal axles and a new HEMI conversion kit, which we will showcase in these new vehicles. In addition, to further maximize our presence in the off-road market, we are creating a Mopar Off-Road division to develop Jeep Authentic Parts and Accessories.”
Roll in the subjects then:
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept
If you are looking for something stacked full of technology, the Cherokee is the way to go. In essence those are features found in many other off-roaders but they, Jeep call them just makes you want to have them in particuliar: Quadra-Lift™ air suspension, Selec-Terrain™ traction control system, Jeep’s Quadra-Drive® II 4×4 layout and a rear Electronic Limited-slip Differential. There are also Adventure packages available and tow/recovery hooks that have been rigorously tested with twice the weight of the Cherokee itself.
However, one does not need to know all of that in order to be convinced about the off-roadishness of the Cherokee. The Trailhawk Concept’s 5-spoke alloy wheels come wrapped with four 18-inch Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor off-road tires – grippy on the back roads, quiet on the tarmac. Mopar rock rails further add to the off-road security.
Accessory wise, the Trailhawk showcases a Stone White bodywork with Mineral Grey and Red motives. Specifically, the grille surround, lower front applique, mirror caps and rear light bar join the wheels in Mineral Gray, while contrasting in eye-catching Red are the upper grille mesh, front and rear tow hooks, Jeep logos on wheel center caps and bolt holes in the alloy wheels.
Other minor changes include black headlamp surrounds, black exterior front and rear badging, Red “Trail Rated” badges on the front fenders and a unique “Trailhawk” badge on the rear tailgate.
2012 Jeep Wrangler Apache from Mopar
2012 Jeep Wrangler Apache from Mopar
The V8 6.4-liter HEMI engine is the highlight in this one. It’s been specially tweaked by Moper and it now delivers 470 horsepower and just as much lb-ft of torque. Initially, Chrysler Group’s W5A580 five-speed automatic transmission will have to cope with that mountain of power while later on a six-speed manual, taken from the 2012 Wrangler, will also be available.
Other performance parts on the Jeep Wrangler Apache are the Mopar Pro 60 5.13 front and rear axles, a 4.5-inch Stage 3 long arm lift kit and off-road bead-lock wheels. Aesthetic and functional modifications include high-clearance flat fenders, rock rails, front and rear half-door kits, a Stinger front bumper, a Warn 9.5ti XP winch, Katzkin leather seats, a locking center console box and a Mopar branded interior.
Jeep Mighty FC Concept
Jeep Mighty FC Concept
The Mighty FC Concept is basically a 2012 Jeep Rubicon that has had its cabin moved to the front and over the front axle. The wheelbase however, has also been extended and a drop-side cargo box has been custom made for it.
For stunning off-road feats, Moper have installed their latest Portal Axle set supervised by King coil-over assemblies (King shocks as well) and Teraflex control arms and track bars. The tires measure 40-inch each and devour the 17-inch beadlock wheels.
Other brands have pitched in the making of the Mighty as well – Hanson bumpers, a 16.5 Warn winch and stainless steel exhausts from Corsa.
Jeep J-12 Concept
Jeep J-12 Concept
The J-12 is a longer JK-8. The JK-8 is a previous project by Mopar that includes a pickup conversion kit for the Jeep Wrangler. For the base, they used a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited and by extending the frame by 18-inches, the tire could be moved under the bed floor thus making room for a six feet long cargo box. The vintage, Jeep Gladiator feel is courtesy to the custom hood and fenders.
In order to tackle rocky terrains, Mopar have fitted a three-inch suspension lift kit, as well as Teraflex sway bars controlling ARB air-locker equipped Dynatrac D-44 and D-60 axle assemblies. The 36-inch tires burrow deep into the ground, providing as much traction as possible.
The cabin follows a minimalist build with no carpets, and no bucket seats. You get a bed liner on the floor instead and a bench-like seating for two.
Mopar Accessorized 2012 Jeep Wrangler
Mopar Accessorized 2012 Jeep Wrangler
This one is simply a Wrangler, stacked with Mopar Accessories – a two-inch performance lift kit, 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires mounted on Classic five-hole wheels, front and rear off-road bumpers, a Warn 9.5ti XP winch, Mopar rock rails, Kicker dash 6.5-inch two-way speakers, Mopar all-weather mats and more.
Moreover, this particular one has a locking center console box, a rear cargo cubby cover, new windshield-mounted LED lamps, a new hard-top headliner and an “Add-A-Trunk” partition.
2012 Jeep Wrangler Traildozer Concept
2012 Jeep Wrangler Traildozer Concept
The Traildozer is a joint venture between Mopar, Jeep and the American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) engineering team. It has the same V8 6.4-liter HEMI that the Wrangler Apache uses (470 hp, 470 lb-ft of torque) but the gearbox is a Getrag 238 six-speed manual.
The ride is 3.5 inches higher than usual thanks to an AEV Dualsport RS suspension lift and thus it provides clearance for the 37-inch tires mounted on the Mopar Classic five-spoke wheels.
Other attributions by Mopar include a performance heat reduction hood, a half-door kit and a Mopar/Warn 9.5 Cti winch.
The new 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit is designed and engineered to be a high-performance police vehicle. It is in two models: V-6 and V-8, which will set new levels of performance during the Michigan State Police’s (MSP) 2012 Police Vehicle Evaluation tests. The V-8 model is powered by 5.7-liter HEMI engine, which delivers best-in-class 370 hp (272 kW) and therefore could deliver the fastest lap time ever recorded (1:33.70) during MSP’s 2012 Police Vehicle Evaluation tests last fall. In addition, Charger Pursuit V-6 models with their the 292 hp (215 kW) showcased their world-class performance and precision with the fastest average lap times for naturally aspirated (1:37.71) and E-85 capable (1:37.57) six-cylinder powered police cars.
The 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit V-8 also delivered the police sedan segment’s fastest acceleration times and covered the 0 to 60 mph for just 5.83 seconds.
The model is also improved in terms of including world-class levels of technology, enhanced safety, handling and efficient power. This of course was possible, thank to Mopar® which teamed up with industry-equipment leaders to develop six factory-installed police packages.
The aim is the design of the car to provide law-enforcement officers with the best combination of tactical equipment and performance.
Some of these police-equipment packages include:
Base Prep Police Package, which features front and rear wire harness, power distribution center, siren speaker with bracket, trunk tray and trunk cooling fan;
Patrol Package 1, which includes police floor console, front-corner LED lamps, rear-corner LED lamps, front and rear wire harness, power-distribution center, siren speaker with bracket, trunk tray and trunk cooling fan;
Patrol Package 2, which includes police floor console, push bumper, front and rear wire harness, power-distribution center, siren speaker and bracket, trunk tray and trunk cooling fan;
Patrol Package 3, which includes push bumper, police floor console, front corner LED lamps, rear corner LED lamps, front and rear wire harness, power distribution center, siren speaker with bracket, trunk tray and trunk accessory cooling fan;

Adding more to the six packages, there are also available for order 24 Mopar tactical accessories, which include light bars, LED lighting systems, push bumper, CAN-control siren system and more.
Furthermore 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit is also equipped with Chrysler Group’s second-generation large car rear-wheel-drive architecture with performance-tuned suspension, load-leveling Nivomat shocks, heavy-duty anti-lock vented-disc brakes (ABS), front- and rear-stabilizer bars, 18-inch performance tires on steel wheels and two-mode police-specific Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
Moreover, the model also features a mobile-command interior which has Vehicle Systems Interface Module for easy equipment integration, heavy-duty police-duty front seats and column-mounted shifter with Auto Stick. Additionally, it also includes uncompromising safety and security equipment: standard advanced multi-stage driver and front-passenger air bags, seat-mounted side-thorax air bags, supplemental side-curtain air bags for front and rear outboard passengers and driver’s knee bag.
