One of my close friends was talking to me about this SUV. We were discussing how the new Charger’s and Chrysler 300’s are tough, and how we would only buy the RT or SRT8 models. Then he informed me of how he really can’t wait for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and now I know why. This shit is mean.
The Grand Cherokee hits 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, and polishes off the quarter-mile in the mid 13-second range. It hits a top speed of 155 mph, not that we recommend you try that out. Also, if you need to brake fast and hard, she’ll accommodate you, coming down from 60-0 in just 116 feet.
Equal in both beauty and brawn, this Grand Cherokee is the most powerful Jeep vehicle ever. With an all-new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, the Grand Cherokee is capable of 465 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All that power is nicely harnessed with adaptive damping suspension managed by the all-new Selec-Trac system, making this Grand Cherokee capable of up to .90 g on the skid pad. Also new for 2012 is an active valve exhaust system, which allows standard Fuel Saver Technology to engage over a wider rpm range for an estimated 13-percent improvement in highway fuel efficiency and 450-mile range. As if this weren’t enough we’ve also made driving just that much more pleasurable by adding standard steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
