A high-performance new super-SUV is due next year that will out-perform current class-leaders such as Porsche’s 561bhp Cayenne Turbo S – and it’s a Jeep.
Boasting the same 6.2-litre V8 that currently pumps out 650bhp-plus in the Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcats, the hotter-than-hot new Grand Cherokee will also share its cousins’ evocative moniker.
It’ll put Jeep’s current performance champ – the 160mph, 461bhp Grand Cherokee SRT, which can sprint from 0-62mph in a mere five seconds – firmly in the shade, and also take on the likes of Range Rover’s 542bhp Sport SVR.
Scant spec details have so far been revealed, but upgraded dynamics and brakes are assured. Pricing in the Jeep’s home market will be pretty far north of the SRT’s $64,895 (c.£46,000).
