Fiat and Chrysler may be one big happy family now, but the merger is bound to produce some overlap. If all of it is as cool as the 500 GT Concept by Mopar Underground that turned up at the SEMA Show today, we're all for it. Realizing that enthusiastic 500 buyers are likely going to want ways to customize their little cars, Mopar went ahead and came up with some ideas you may see at the dealer in the future.
Though Mopar is known for some serious performance, they restrained themselves a bit on the 500 GT. The 1.4-liter MultiAir engine and five-speed manual transmission are apparently untouched, though Mopar did fix up a custom dual-exit exhaust. And while they did come up a lot of parts of their own, Mopar also borrowed a set of lowering springs from Abarth to give the car a mean stance on its Mopar Underground-designed 18-inch Alcoa forged aluminum wheels.
With the handling handled, attention was turned to appearances. After fitting a new front spoiler, the Mopar guys quietly ditched the stock turn signals and used their mounting holes for brake cooling ducts. Then they pulled out the fenders, fitted a rear spoiler a diffuser and painted the whole thing "Dark Thunderbolt" grey with red accents. Inside, they fitted piano-black trim, a slick-looking shifter and custom Katzkin seats, red for the driver and black for everyone else.
