Jeep Safari Concept

Family Friendly Jeep Concept

Pack in the seats, without sacrificing any views, The Jeep Safari concept is all about visibility. A translucent hard-top roof, doors called “windoors” made of clear vinyl and aluminum, and rotational rear bucket seats all ensure passengers a great view. There’s also a drone on top.

Jeep Quicksand Concept

Loud And Fast Desert Jeep

For those that love a loud engine and the feeling of wind in your face, the Jeep Quicksand is for you. A “peekaboo” cutout in the hood lets the Mopar 392 Crate HEMI with eight-stack injection roar, classic hotrod style. The hardtop and windshield are chopped down for maximum noise and speed thrills. 32-inch tires in the front and 37-inch in the back allow a successful sandy adventure.
