Η Hennessey Performance έδωσε την πρώτη φωτογραφία και τα χαρακτηριστικά για το βελτιωμένο Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Η Hennessey ξεκινά το δελτίο τύπου γράφοντας “Ποιος χρειάζεται έναν Τάρανδο όταν έχεις ένα twin turbo Cherokee με 800 άλογα;” Ο 6.4-λίτρων HEMI κινητήρας του Grand Cherokee, υπερκυβίστηκε στα 7.0-λίτρα και με την προσθήκη δύο turbo αποδίδει πλέον 816 άλογα με 1115 Nm ροπής, με τα 0-60 mph (0-96 χλμ/ώρα) να τα κάνει σε 3.1 δευτ. (4.8 εργοστασιακή τιμή). Το βελτιωμένο SRT8 φορά ένα ειδικά τροποποιημένο κιβώτιο ταχυτήτων ώστε να αντέχει την επιπλέον δύναμη, 15.1″ μεγάλα φρένα της Brembo, χαμηλότερα ελατήρια, νέες ελαφριές ζάντες, carbon μπροστά splitter ενώ στο εσωτερικό υπάρχει δερμάτινο σαλόνι με το τιμόνι να έχει επενδυθεί με Alcantara. Το αυτοκίνητο θα βγει σε μόλις 24 μονάδες και θα έχει αρχική τιμή $235.000.

Who Needs Reindeer When You Have an 800 HP Twin Turbo Sleigh?
Introducing the 2013 HPE800 Twin Turbo Jeep by Hennessey Performance
Hennessey Performance (HPE) is well known for taking fast cars, trucks and SUV’s and making them faster. The company will be offering their HPE800 Twin Turbo Jeep for 2013. Based on the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, the crew from HPE takes the factory 6.4 L Hemi and increases displacement to 7.0 L (426 cubic inches) while adding a twin turbo forced induction system. The resulting 805 bhp and 823 lb-ft of torque will be enough to propel the HPE800 from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds.
Additional modifications include an upgraded transmission system and torque converter upgrade, 15.1 inch Brembo brakes front and rear, a lowered sport suspension system, lighter alloy wheels, carbon fiber front splitter and a custom leather interior with Alcantara steering wheel.
“We’ve built dozens of 600-800 hp Jeep SRT8s over the past five years, so we have an existing client base who will want to upgrade the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 to an even higher level”, said company founder and president, John Hennessey. “This vehicle is designed for the performance minded driver who lives in Aspen or Moscow and wants to be the fastest in all weather conditions.”
HPE will limit production at just 24 examples with pricing starting at $235,000.
