Very little has surfaced about the Nitro SRT version, but some spy pictures have surfaced.

I dont know if its a done deal yet that they will come out with an SRT version, but the idea that they are 'toying' with it, is very reassuring!

What does everyone else think?

Not sure about an SRT. I know it has been confirmed that they attempted to drop a Hemi in and it just didn't work. Something about not passing safety crashes and what-not.

Based on the info I have just found, the spy shots taken were of a Nitro with 20" wheels. It seems they just assumed SRT because of the rim size, but it is now known that the R/T will get 20" shoes.

Well, whatever they do, the Nitro could deffinately sell as an SRT.. it's got a great look and would look even better with a lower stance (like the Cherokee SRT) and big powerful motor driving all four wheels.. a nitro srt that's faster than the Cherokee would be AWESOME.

Dodge seems keen to make SRT versions of a lot of their cars lately and the Nitro would be perfect for it. I'm pretty confident they will make it.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Nitro is based on the Jeep Liberty platform.

thank you, cpt obvious.. it's an extended wheelbase liberty.. this we know..

I'll quell this here and now. As of yet, there are no planned versions of the Nitro SRT. The spyshots were incorrectly identified as SRT, when they are in fact just R/T models.

Is there an echo in here?
