Hellcat-Powered Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

The ultimate daily driver. Supposed to debut next week in NY, but looks like info was leaked on the web.

Four-wheel-drive with an electronic limited-slip rear differential and a single-speed active transfer case is standard. Jeep says a new, full-time active transfer case uses forged steel chain sprockets and a wider chain for extra strength and durability.

 

To help the Trackhawk hit its claimed straight-line performance figures, Jeep fitted it with a standard launch control system that sets the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and suspension up for maximum acceleration. When enabled, Launch Control also enables a new Torque Reserve system, which improves engine torque response and acceleration performance by pre-positioning the supercharger bypass valve to minimize manifold fitting time, cutting fuel to specific cylinders, and managing ignition timing.

 

The standard adaptive suspension, which provides a 1.0-inch lower ride height, can be adjusted via the Grand Cherokee’s Selec-Track system. It features five modes — auto, sport, track, snow, and tow — that also adjust the the four-wheel drive system functionality and how much power is sent to the rear wheels, transmission shift times, shifter paddle functionality, and electric power steering’s behavior.

You think it'll be over or under $90k?

 

Pretty sweet though. A few bolt ons and a tune and that thing would be scary fast

No idea, but I'm guessing it's in the ballpark.

 

It is crazy to think we can have a 700hp, 3.5 sec 0-60 SUV with a full factory warranty. If you noticed, it has some of the launch control features of the Demon.

Just saw one on 23 south that was red with a blue hell cat and two silver demons. Had Michigan plates

What did the Demon's look like? Did they have big NITTO stickers across the windshield and look like they had bolts holding the flares on?

When they say electronic limited slip...do they mean an electronic locker in the diff? Or that weird system that taps the brakes?

 

What's with the 1980's Cadillac burgundy leather interior?

Typically that's referred to as Brake Limited Differential, so I am assuming this is different.

 

The porno red leather interior is also an option on Durango R/T and SRT too.

The Jeep looked identical to the red one in the website above. One demon had SRT across the windshield and the other had no decals. It also had a large antenna. The fenders looked flush and clean, no bolt on's. They looked amazing.

Maybe it was this one but it sure looked like SRT. That is spot on to what I saw though.
