September 23, 200619 yr 2006 SEMA Preview: Dodge HEMI Nitro & Panel Van 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. Read "Hemi-Powered Dodge Nitro Charges in to SEMA" @ Edmunds
October 27, 200619 yr 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.
October 27, 200619 yr 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..
October 27, 200619 yr Coolness, maybe that's what the SRT version will be. 209475[/snapback] would it be lighter too?... glass vs steel...?

October 28, 200619 yr 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.
October 28, 200619 yr Jalopnik has some real-life pics of the HEMI Nitro: http://www.jalopnik.com/photogallery/HemiNitro 209527[/snapback] That... looks... AWESOME!... I dunno about cramming the HEMI in it though. I think this model should be an SRT-6, and that'd be totally bad-ass.
October 29, 200619 yr Author There are also now live shots of the Panel Van. http://www.jalopnik.com/photogallery/DodgeNitroPanel
November 1, 200619 yr Hmm... The HEMI one is... hot. Wow. 211217[/snapback] There needs to be a jawdrop emote for moments like these.
November 15, 200619 yr 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.
