With 707 horsepower under the hood, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is currently one of the most powerful SUVs in the world, so it is safe to say it's not missing out on power. But, in the world of tuners, there is always room for more, and even the most powerful models in the world can get even more quick. For example, the guys over Roadshow International unveiled this special Grand Cherokee Trackhawk finished in Nardo Gray with a staggering 1,150 horsepower under the hood.
The SUV's V-8 Pushes An Extra 440 Horsepower
The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is powered by a 6.2-liter Hellcat Hemi V-8 engine borrowed from the Dodge Charger and Challenger. In standard form, the V-8 delivers a total of 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, but this specific unit received some updates. Thanks to a remapped ECU and the addition of a new exhaust system with downtubes and pipes, the V-8 delivers a total of 1,150 horsepower - a number that puts the Jeep SUV in the same league with some of the most powerful supercars in the world. With the extra 443 horsepower, this Grand Cherokee Trackhawk goes from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds and can hit a top speed of 200 mph, a significant improvement over the SUV's standard 3.5 seconds and 180 mph max. And not only that, but we can name quite a few Lamborghini and Ferrari models that are slower bulky, American SUV.
Changes Were Made Inside and Out
The fiddling was not limited to the V-8, as both the exterior and the interior of the SUV were updated. The exterior was wrapped in Nardo Grey, and all the chrome elements were finished in black. A few yellow elements create a very nice, sporty contrast. It rides on a new set of 24-inch wheels finished in a combination of gloss black and Canary Yellow. The same yellow paint was also sprayed on the brake calipers for added contrast. The windows and the windshield were tinted, both the headlights and the taillights received a smoked treatment, while the suspension was lowered by 30 mm to give the Trackhawk a meaner look.
Changes continue on the inside, where the entire cabin was covered in yellow leather, and the owner opted for some of the coolest technology features. There is even a LED lighting package and a starlight headliner, similar to what is fitted to Rolls-Royce models.
If you want to know how much this Jeep costs, we are sorry to inform you that there are no pricing details on it. It shouldn’t matter anyway as it was built on a special request, and the current owner will most likely not put it up for sale anytime soon.
