7 Cars The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Can Beat To 60mph

What type of witchcraft Jeep has used to make the new Grand Cherokee Trackhawk so fast, we don't know. What we do know is that the big SUV is faster off the line than some seriously fast cars

7 Cars The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Can Beat To 60mph

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is fast. It’s the size of the moon and weighs about the same as Ayres Rock, but thanks to four-wheel drive, clever launch control and some sort of voodoo incantation, the super-SUV launches to 60mph in a bonkers 3.5 seconds on the way to an 11.6sec quarter-mile.

It uses a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 to smoosh 697bhp down through the four wheels, and if that engine configuration sounds familiar, it’s because you’ll find the same basic unit in the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and even the Dodge Demon, albeit in more highly-modified form. It’s obviously doing a good job, looking at the cars it’s faster than. We dug up a list of 0-60mph times and… well, you can see where we’re going with this.

2016 BMW M2 – 4.0sec

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ-400 – 3.7sec

2003 Lamborghini Gallardo – 4.0sec

2010 Porsche 997.2 911 GT3 – 3.7sec

2011 Lexus LFA – 3.6sec

2017 Aston Martin DB11 – 3.7sec

2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat – 3.7sec

I’d probably have any one of those cars over a Trackhawk. Why can’t you build a normal car Chrysler!

Chrysler does produce normal cars, but they are all garbage.

When she is home alone but first you have to do grocery shop…

and drop the kids off at soccer practice.

So it is actually faster than a lighter car with the same engine? Impressive, to say the least.

I sadly don’t have a freedom gif to go with this comment.

But what about the 100-200km/h times? Or even higher speeds? The Jeep is as aerodynamic as a building :P. 0-100km/h isn’t the most important, you know :)
