The parts and accessories arm of Chrysler Group, Mopar, is active as ever, planning a major onslaught on this year’s SEMA Show with no less than 11 new custom cars. The Mopar-customized vehicles and a vast assortment of Mopar parts will be displayed in a 15,345-square-foot exhibition.

The SEMA-bound Mopar vehicles come from every brand of the Group, including Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and Fiat, and they cover a wide range of products, from the small Fiat 500 to the mighty Dodge Viper. As usual, there will be special emphasis on Jeep products which gets a couple of different off-road treatments. while Chrysler’s lineup headed by the 200 focuses more on luxury and sportiness. We also expect to seem good stuff done to the new Hellcat models, Challenger and Charger.
