2012 Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8® – The Ultimate Urban Assault Vehicle!

The new 2012 Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8® has created quite a stir among the executive hot rod types who love performance SUVs. The powertrain is a perfect blend of high-horsepower and fuel efficiency, while nimble handling and luxurious interior appointments would make any country club hot rodder proud to have it valet at the ritziest of nightclubs. However, it takes a lot more than a deep exhaust tone and leather seats to be dubbed “The Ultimate Performance SUV.” A new adaptive damping suspension system and four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Brembo 6-piston front calipers coupled with massive vented rotors get body motions under control, while 20-inch forged aluminum wheels with sticky Pirelli “Z” rated tires keep the SRT8 stuck to the pavement. Aerodynamically, the SRT8 has a unique lift gate spoiler for reduced drag and improved down force combined with a mean-looking front fascia and a specially sculpted hood designed to cool down the awesome 6.4L HEMI® sitting between the front fenders.  But hey, don’t take our word for it – check out what the automotive press at Autoblog, Autoweek, Left Lane News, Motor Authority, Popular Mechanics, & Road and Track have been saying about the newest member to the SRT family!
