2007 Brabus Dodge Nitro Review

December 2006
Filed under: BRABUS Car News | BRABUS Headlines

The new Dodge Nitro stands out in a crowd with its characteristic design. In a world debut at the ESSEN-MOTOR-SHOW 2006 STARTECH presents a complete custom parts and design program that further accentuates the extravagant appearance.

The face of the American SUV gets even more pizzazz with the strikingly styled STARTECH front fascia. The new front element was designed to easily replace the stock bumper by retaining the original mounting points.

For a more homogenous transition between front and rear wheel houses the STARTECH designers have shaped special rocker panels that give the five-door a lower and sleeker appearance.

The rear is refined with the STARTECH rear fascia. The fascia features custom-tailored cutouts left and right for the two characteristic tailpipes of the fully stainless-steel STARTECH sport exhaust system.

For the turbodiesel version of the Dodge Nitro STARTECH offers its SD3 performance kit. The auxiliary module can be installed by any authorized Dodge dealer in about 30 minutes. With it maximum power output jumps from stock 140 hp / 103 kW to 180 hp / 132 kW. At the same time peak torque increases to 360 Nm between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm.

More driving fun, more safety reserves and more elegant looks are the result of mounting STARTECH Monostar IV light-alloy wheels. The one-piece 9Jx20 five-spoke wheels are fitted with tires in size 265/45 R 20 in all four corners.

The STARTECH program also offers many choices for customizing the interior of the Dodge Nitro: The STARTECH Lifestyle interior upgrade package gives the vehicle a more elegant ambiance. Sporty highlights are available in form of aluminum door-lock pins, shifter and foot pedals.

Upon customer request the company-own upholstery shop precision-crafts exclusive fully leather interiors in any desired color or design.
