Mallard Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 The ultimate daily driver. Supposed to debut next week in NY, but looks like info was leaked on the web. http://www.wk2jeeps.com/wk2_2018_Trackhawk.htm http://www.autoblog.com/2017/04/09/jeep-grand-cherokee-trailhawk-hellcat-all-wheel-drive/?ncid=edlinkusauto00000016 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. ------------- Fun facts.... Stronger rear axle and driveshaft than the SRT392. 15.75 Brembo rotors up front. 7200lb towing capacity. 11.6 PSI of boost. 295/45ZR20 tires on all four corners.

BStowers023 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 As if 707 hp isn't already scary fast lol. My how the auto world has changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Driving a normal SRT is already a freaking blast, to have 707hp?! Wow. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Does it have third row seats? And where do I sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Just saw one on 23 south that was red with a blue hell cat and two silver demons. Had Michigan plates Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Michigan plates Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 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?

Mallard Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 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. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Does it have third row seats? And where do I sign? Only 5 passenger on the Grand Cherokee, Durango has 7, but no Hellcat. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is spot on to what I saw though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm more excited for this than the Demon but the Demon is pretty cool also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
