Hot-Rod SUV: Jeep Will Produce the Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk

Fortunately what happen in Las Vegas isn’t staying in Las Vegas. FCA, the parent company of Jeep, told a national dealers’ meeting in Sin City that there will be a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk. This is great news for anyone who has ever wanted an SUV with the driving dynamics off a sports car.

The notorious 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 will power the high-performance SUV. FCA claims it will be the fastest factory produced 0-60 SUV to ever hit the market—and even faster than its sibling, the Challenger Hellcat. An FCA spokesperson would not confirm the existence of the Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk when contacted.

It’s estimated the Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk will have a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. That’s faster than published numbers for the Challenger Hellcat, hitting 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. Yikes.
