Hark, the ruggedest and most fearless among you! Who would dare take the reins of the most primitive modern car you can buy in America, with 707 horsepower of supercharged insanity under the hood? The Jeep Wrangler Trailcat concept is waiting.
Legend says hearing it roar will turn you into a wild beast by the next full moon. Click with caution:
To anyone who’s ever said “Hellcat All The Things,” you’ve officially been warned to be careful what you wish for.
This fierce bastard is basically just your regular old Jeep Wrangler, with the Hellcat’s 707 HP 6.2-liter Hemi V8 mated to a six-speed manual gearbox activated by a big black shifter ball with an embossed Hellcat logo on it.
The Jeep’s been stretched 12" inches, presumably to keep it from flipping for at least a few seconds longer, with 39.5-inch BF-Goodrich Krawler T/A KX tires wrapped around 17" beadlock wheels and heavy-ass Dana 60 axles front and rear. Suspension is all Fox.
As for the sound, man, I think I’m going to have to watch that video again.
Stay tuned for more details later this month, when we get to wring this thing out a little bit over Moab’s rocks and wide open areas.
Yes, we are driving this. Prepare your bodies.
