At the heart of the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 sits a race-tuned 6.4-litre HEMI V8 with 470 bhp and 465 lb ft of torque on tap, a unique four-wheel-drive system helps keep it planted whilst it accelerates to 62 mph in 5.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 152 mph. When Jeep originally set out to create its quickest-ever model, "it was with the race track rather than mud track in mind," said Peter Lambert, Managing Director of Chrysler Group UK. "The SRT-8 is not intended to be off-road capable". Evidence of this race track DNA can be seen in aggressive exterior styling, huge wheels, low profile tyres and 15" Brembo brake discs.
