Following a teaser released earlier this week, Ram has introduced the 1500 Rumble Bee Concept at Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit.
The concept is based on a 2013 Ram 1500 R/T and has a two-door, 2WD setup with a matte “Drone Yellow” paint. Both sides of the truck feature a new “Speed Bee” design within a glossy black stripe which fades into the honeycomb. It sits on glossy 24-inch Vellano VRH alloys and has a two-inch lowered suspension courtesy of King Suspension. A glossy black look was provided to the dual exhaust tailpipes, fuel door, badging, hood vents and front grille.
The cabin has black and Drone Yellow leather-wrapped sport mesh seats benefiting from two-tone yellow/light black stitching. Weirdly enough, on the inside there is a real amber-encased bee mounted into the eight-speed rotary shifter knob which will light up to expose a honeycomb pattern background. There are also two buttons positioned below which make the cat-back Mopar dual exhaust system go “loud and louder”.
Powering the 2013 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept is a HEMI 5.7-liter engine mated to an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission delivering 395 bhp (294 kW) and a peak torque of 407 lb-ft (551 Nm).
