Yeah, it’s got a Hemi and it’s quicker than a Porsche Cayenne Turbo!
Chrysler’s first four-wheel-drive SRT Grand Cherokee is the quickest, most powerful Jeep vehicle ever. It offers astonishing on-road and all-weather capability and power. The specially developed four-wheel-drive system propels Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 from 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds — quicker than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5. It accelerates from 0-100 in the low 19-second range and 60-0 mph in approximately 125 feet!
Powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 that producing 420 horsepower and 420 foot pounds of torque, the 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 delivers the total performance with exceptional ride and handling, world-class braking, race-inspired interior appointments and functional, performance-oriented exterior enhancements.
The front fascia improves aerodynamics, reducing lift and drag and providing air flow to cool the 6.1-liter HEMI. It also helps increase brake-system cooling through integrated air ducts. The rear fascia incorporates an aggressive center cutout for dual four-inch exhaust tips. Sill extensions result in another functional enhancement by creating downforce.
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8’s cabin features an SRT signature race-inspired interior. Seats with added bolstering and a performance fabric insert keep occupants firmly in place under performance driving conditions. A dark slate gray interior color, accent stitching on the seats and a unique SRT-designed leather-wrapped steering wheel are some of the highlights. Full instrumentation includes a 180-mph speedometer, tachometer and temperature gauges, all trimmed with a unique blue accent.
Providing horsepower and torque to the unique SRT four-wheel-drive system is a specially tuned version of the 6.1 HEMI. Upgrades include increased compression ratio and redesigned cylinder heads, plus intake and exhaust systems for better flow and increased engine speed. Power from the 6.1-liter HEMI is sent through a special torque converter to an SRT-upgraded, five-speed automatic transmission with specially calibrated driver-selectable Auto Stick, which offers a fully automatic or manual shift selection.
