Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk to get Hellcat V8, report claims
Fiat Chrysler Vehicles is apparently hard at work on its next Hellcat-run providing -- the Jeep Grand Cherokee 'Trackhawk.'
The supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 motor has been a resounding success in the Dodge Charger SRT and Challenger SRT, fast selling out and even inspiring some dishonest vendors to simply take consumer deposits for orders that are unlikely to ever arrive. Making 707 hp and 650 lb-feet of torque, the power-plant surpasses the present Grand Cherokee srt 8 6.4-litre naturally-aspirated V-8 by over 230 230 ponies and 180-lb-ft of turn. Replacing the SRT-8 using the one Hellcat form is viewed as improbable, as the existing range-topper is FCA's bestselling SRT version. The business could follow the Dodge technique by providing several bundles, yet, including a normally-aspirated Trackhawk and a more distinctive Hellcat version to function as a halo version. Whatever path the organization selects, the SRT branding is going to be dropped as the badge becomes a Dodge exclusive. Technologists are working to solve possible torque-caused strength problems using the Grand Cherokee's four wheel drive program, unnamed sources have told Vehicle and Driver. The report theorizes the organization could decide to restrict torsion in lower gears, as opposed to replacing the drive-train with beefier parts. The broken V8 is likely to start the sport utility vehicle to 60-mph from a standstill in significantly less than four seconds. If authentic, it's going to be competing directly against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S and BMW X-5 M.The newest rumors point to some mid-2016 start. The foundation Trackhawk will probably keep its $65,000 price tag, while the Hellcat form could bring in closer to $80,000.
