2006 SEMA Preview: Dodge HEMI Nitro & Panel Van

Posted Image

The Hemi-powered SEMA Nitro will be painted in black-purple metallic, with a two-tone black and slate-gray interior, according to Myles. A lower aero body kit will include new fascias, wheel arches and side sills. The cabin will sport four bucket seats from the Viper.

A second Nitro conversion — both are being done in-house — will be a white Mopar-themed panel wagon with special graphics on the sides. The rear seats will be removed and a sliding load floor installed to accommodate surfboards and other large gear.

Interesting......I'm still waiting to see a Nitro in person although I do like the glimpses online that I've seen so far.

I was checking out some pix here of other conversions, I so want to go to a SEMA show!

Around here it's mostly import tuners that I see on the road.....it'd be cool to watch a real conversion.

Coolness, maybe that's what the SRT version will be.

Exciting stuff-passed by the dealer last week (at night) and saw a Nitro-not up close, but haven't seen it or gotten a brochure on it-maybe next week..

would it be lighter too?... glass vs steel...?

Looks much nicer than the garden-variety Nitro.

guess I'm a little turned off by the pretend extended front window. It looked good, until I realized that 1/5 of it is fake, and then it just... bothered me.

Hmm... The HEMI one is... hot. Wow.

There needs to be a jawdrop emote for moments like these.

I think the Nitro is one hot little SUV...

I LOVE the Hemi Nitro, except for 2 things: 1) The hood needs to be simpler, to give it that solid look and 2) The color.
