2011 Detroit Auto Show: Mopar Fiat 500 and Chrysler 200

Chrysler announced that will bring two new Moparized vehicles at this year's edition 2011 Detroit Motor Show : the 2012 Fiat 500 and the Chrysler 200 Super S.

The Mopar Fiat 500 kit includes only cosmetic mods, however, we're sure there are power upgrade kits available in the USA too. The Mopar Fiat 500 comes with new side skirts and a lot of chrome. The shiny stuff is used for the Mopar Fiat 500's exhaust tip, mirror covers, fuel cap, and grilles. The Mopar Fiat 500 also comes with various decals, a rear window-mount rack, snowboard carrier, and a strut tower brace.

Not being big on interior updates, Mopar only switched out the Fiat 500’s standard interior for one filled with Katzkin leather (black with blue accents) and different carbon fiber inserts.

The Chrysler 200 Super S is dropped three inches and sports a black and tungsten paint scheme. The bodywork gets updated with a slew of parts including lower chin and rear decklid spoilers. Riding on a set of 19-inch wheels, the 200 Super S gets a major shot in the style department... for better of for worse.

Following is a selection of featured Moparized vehicles that will be on display in the Chrysler Group exhibit:

Mopar Ram Runner

The Mopar Ram Runner, inspired by Baja-style desert racing, is a 4x4 unlike any other Ram. The rigors of off-road racing require large tires, plenty of ground clearance, extreme durability and a sophisticated suspension system capable of withstanding tremendous impact. These features are combined into a package that is stable at speed and rock-solid in the corners. Inspired by trophy trucks, steel front fenders and rear bed-sides are replaced with fiberglass, allowing tremendous suspension articulation with zero interference.

More than 70 Years of Mopar
When Chrysler bought Dodge in 1928, the need for a dedicated parts manufacturer, supplier and distribution system to support the growing enterprise led to the formation of the Chrysler Motor Parts Corporation (CMPC) in 1929.

Mopar (a simple contraction of the words Motor and PARts) was trademarked for a line of antifreeze products in 1937. It also was widely used as a moniker for the CMPC. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s-the muscle-car era. The Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodge and Plymouth "package cars" equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar carried a line of "special parts" for super stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division called Mopar Performance Parts to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use.
