Report: 707 Horsepower 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat Is Really Coming
Report: 707 Horsepower 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat Is Really Coming-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:19

Journalist over at says a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee “Trackhawk” with the 707 horsepower Hellcat engine, AWD, and a ZF 8-speed automatic is really actually definitely on its way to production. Which would be insane, amazing, and a whole lotta awesome.

’s unnamed sources say it’s called “Project K” at Jeep HQ and its supercharged 6.2 Hemi V8 will get it from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. Top speed is estimated at 200 MPH. Probably when you’re not towing a boat, I guess.

It’s also reported that the 6.4 liter Hemi-powered Grand Cherokee SRT is not only sticking around too, but it’s getting an outboost boost to 490 horsepower.

Officially, Jeep’s spokespeople would confirm none of this.

Calamity Ensues When Dude Steals Semi Cab, Tows Another With 'Rope'
I can't decide what the worst part of this guy's plan was- stealing a commercial cab, or lashing another one behind it with a rope and heading down the highway. None of that went well. It doesn't look like he gave any thought whatsoever as to how the second truck...

The Second Gen Honda Odyssey Was Way Cooler Outside The US
I spotted this mid-90's Honda Odyssey in the taxi stand of the Nassau airport and thought I might have discovered an uncelebrated Bahamian tuner minivan culture. But no, apparently the second generation Odyssey everywhere outside America kept conventional doors and got a little sporty. The first four-door Honda Odyssey was...

'Side By Side' Off-Road Racers Talk Technique And Rip Over Some Rocks
Some of the top off-road racers in UTVs want to tell you why their wacky mini-buggies are awesome, and they might convince you to pay attention to their class next time you're following a desert race. Size-wise, UTVs are somewhere between quads and buggies. The UTVs that don't have open-wheel...
