Jeep's first appearance as a war vehicle and developed since the European war in 1939, continues to innovate. Although known as a vehicle for the military along with time in its development, Jeep began became civilian favored vehicle which marked with the birth of the Civilian Jeep (CJ) series in 1944. Its ability to conquered variety of difficult terrain with no doubt reason, it makes the Jeep continues to innovate and improve itself (More about American iconic Jeep).
Mopar, a spare-parts provider of Jeep which is under the Chrysler company, showed six concepts design of Jeep for the off-road fans that retains masculinity and minimalism.
Appearance of sixth Jeep's concept, they showed at the annual event "Easter Jeep Safari" or known as off-roading expedition in Moab, Utah, USA. This year, five of the concepts were based on the Wrangler, and was based on the Grand Cherokee.
The red-and-black Wrangler Slim was built to show how easy it is to customize a Wrangler on a budget. It’s got plenty off-road accoutrements while the stock 3.6-liter V6 remains under the hood.
The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk takes last year’s idea of a butch SUV to the extreme. The bright orange paint and 35-inch tires are sure to make an impression, but we don’t want to be the ones who have to wash it after it gets covered in mud. Under the hood is Jeep’s EcoDiesel V6.
The silver four-door Wrangler Mopar Recon may look subtle compared to the Trailhawk, but it’s got a 6.4-liter, 470 horsepower Hemi V8, coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission.
The Wrangler Sand Trooper II is based on a concept from the 2012 SEMA show. It’s got a smaller, 5.7-liter Hemi with 375 hp, but the same monster truck-like tires of the other concepts. While it’s black and tan livery definitely looks militaristic, we can’t help but think of white-uniformed Star Wars Storm Troopers on Tattooine.
The Wrangler Flattop is supposed to give the iconic Jeep a more refined look. A chopped windowless hardtop gives it a (slightly) less boxy appearance, while Katzkin leather gives the interior a more luxurious feel.
Finally, the "Stitch" concept is to take the base Wrangler Sahara are modified in some parts with lighter materials. Substitution parts makes Wrangler Sahara Mopar made it look more simple, especially on the front bumper.
In addition, some sections experiencing a marked reduction in the weight of the material with carbon turnover, as well as replacement of some materials such as aluminum to steel plates on some parts of the body, which reduces the weight of the roof up to 8 kg, the footstool of the plate to the aluminum interior, suspension, tank fuel, until the turn of the battery using lithium.
Even so, this replacement does not reduce the power and performance as a vehicle man. Mopar parties indicated that they spend this concept will become a trend modifications for Jeep enthusiasts in the future. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOPAR | DIGITAL TRENDS | DOE | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 22032013]
