Based on the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, the crew from Hennessey took the
SUV's factory 6.4-liter Hemi engine and increased displacement to 7.0-liters (426 cubic
inches) while adding a twin turbo forced induction system. The resulting 805 hp
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.
