This Jeep Trackhawk Is a Supercar Bully, Makes the Bugatti Veyron Look Underpowered

Named the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, it was a true Lamborghini Urus fighter that used to cost a fraction of the exotic crossover's price. Its straight-line performance is still impressive even by the latest standards, as you're looking at a family-friendly machine capable of smoking previous-generation supercars on a good day.

With extra elbow grease, it can easily overcome its initial status. Takes this copy, which was made famous by Roadshow International. It has a stunning 1,150 horsepower (1,166 ps/858 kW) from its tuned 6.2L supercharged V8. According to the tuner, the zero to sixty-two mph (0 to 100 kph) is dealt with in 2.9 seconds, and it is capable of sprinting all the way up to 200 mph (322 kph).

How does it compare with the stock Grand Cherokee Trackhawk? Well, it is some half a second faster and has a 20 mph (32 kph) higher top speed. Without any modifications, the 6.2L Hellcat lump puts 707 horsepower (717 ps/527 kW) under the driver's right foot, and that is already 50 hp (51 ps/37 kW) more than what you'd get in the Urus S and Urus Performante, with the latter being a more track-focused variant of Lamborghini's blue-blooded crossover.

According to Roadshow International, the tuned Jeep has new downtubes and pipes, a custom exhaust system, and an ECU remap. It also sits 1.2 inches (30 mm) closer to the ground and rides on 24-inch wheels with a glossy black look. Stuff such as the fender flares, sportier side skirts, modified front bumper, new hood, tuned rear bumper, and fresh diffuser contribute to its more menacing stance. It has a Nardo wrap, Nardo/Black exterior logos, black brake calipers, and other bits and bobs.

Compared to its stock self, tuned copies of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk tend to fetch a lot of money, especially those that make the original Bugatti Veyron (1,001 hp) look like it would need more power. Therefore, you already know that this one is anything but a bargain, especially since it looks ready to hit the drag strip at any moment, even on the way to the grocery store or after dropping the kids off at school.

Mind you, it is not for sale, yet it was at one point, with the tuner stating that it recently found a new home for itself. We reckon its new owner paid a six-digit sum for it, and it should be worth every cent. After all, V8-powered beasts are part of a dying breed, and it will probably be a few years until the last one rolls off the line.
