The new Nitro Heat 4.0 comes standard wîth a five-speed automatic transmission, standard Úconnect®Phone and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.

For 2011, select models feature upgraded interiors wîth new cloth and leather wîth premium colored stitching. Detonator and Shock are now tattooed wîth Dodge Brand's signature racing stripes.
