2007 Dodge Nitro Spy Shots:
Spy Shots: ’07 Dodge Nitro SRT
Could it be hankering for a V-8?

The first prototypes of the Dodge Nitro have just begun to hit the test circuit, but we have now learned that development of the hot SRT version is being done concurrently with the standard models. This prototype black-and-white prototype was mixed in with several other Nitro test vehicles, but its footwear set it apart as a vehicle with a much more serious pavement-biased set-up. This Nitro prototype was shod with low-profile Eagle RS-As mounted on meaty 20-inch wheels - not exactly a setup made for the trails. A deeper, more aggressive front air dam completes the look, in much the same way as on the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

The question that now remains is what lies under the hood? The Jeep Liberty provides the platform for the Nitro, and the Nitro concept vehicle shared the Liberty's 3.7-liter V-6 (the largest engine on offer). Logic would say that the Nitro SRT will be V-6-powered, giving the Grand Cherokee SRT8 a little breathing room higher up the food chain, but a Nitro SRT8 doesn't seem out of the question.

Looks good, I wish Dodge would make a FULL size SUV now, then things would be complete.
