As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.

Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.

Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.

The performance arm also works its magic in the Chrysler 200S at the show. Its wears Mopar's body kit in Phantom Black Tri-coat paint to really shine. A coil-over suspension and 19-inch, bronze-colored wheels complete the subtle design. And finally, Mopar turns its attention to the Fiat 500L and 500 Abarth. The generally awkward 500L tries to go for a high-class look for two-tone paint, a body kit and upgraded wheels. On the other hand, the Abarth is a bit more successful with a simple red and white two-tone design with a scorpion covering the front end, and there's a touch of extra performance too, thanks to some lightweight wheels and a cat-back exhaust.

Take a look at all of these concepts for yourself in the gallery, and scroll down to read Mopar's official announcement for all of them.Continue reading Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
