Fiat
500X Chicane and Mobe
Fiat
brought a pair of Mopar-prepped 500X Concept cars to the SEMA Show, including
the slammed Chicane street racer, and the high-riding MOBE. The customizations
on both cars are mostly skin deep, lacking any substantial performance or
chassis improvements.
The
sporty member of this family is the blue-colored Chicane study that sits very
close to the ground, thanks to a Mopar prototype suspension kit, while also
getting a cat-back exhaust for the 2.4-liter four-pot, concept exhaust tips and
bigger brakes.
Adding
to its stance, are the oversized 20-inch two-tone rims and the
ground-effects body kit in black, with Mopar also adding racing stripes and a
Gloss Black paint on the roof. On the inside, the tuning outfit added a
plethora of production and concept accessories, ranging from a bright pedal kit
to Katzkin leather seats.
The
other 500X model, called MOBE, reverses the suspension setup by adding height
while riding on 18-inch wheels. The Ivory Pearl colored MOBE combines matte black and
bronze accents with a roof rack and side rails.
The
interior has also been customized with accent blue seat inserts embroidered
with the “X” logo and other Mopar accessories. The only change to the 2.4-liter
mill is a cat-back exhaust.
