Thus, two very special 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 models make their way into the hands of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa have been found. Were handed over, according to the manufacturer, the "strongest and most agile Jeep models of all time" Fiorano test track of the factory in Maranello. Each of the two identical vehicles carries the look of the SRT design, complemented with styling elements of the Ferrari brand, and of course the color of Rosso Corsa.
Design
Visually, makes her a lot of special Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. The typical Jeep grille with seven air vents in matt black lacquered red inserts and displays. A black vertical stripes with a white line extends from the front to the rear bumper. For more details, such as the held in matte black two-piece glass roof, exterior mirror housings made of carbon fiber and a black bar at the rear lights painted with red Jeep SRT8 logo make both to individual productions. As a tribute to the Formula 1 race car, there is a F150 Italian flag painted on the underside of the rear spoiler. The body is lower by 3.8 inches, and both vehicles are on specially forged, black-painted 20-inch aluminum wheels.

Engine and performance
As Formula 1 drivers in real life like the move quickly, must provide their private cars, of course, plenty of power. And here's the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 has to offer: Sparked the "utility vehicle" from the new 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine with 468 hp and a torque of 624 Newton meters. This engine does not fire the wheel drive vehicle in 4.8 seconds from zero to 96.6 km / h storm (60 mph). The discipline of 0 - 161 - 0 km / h is done by a Grand Cherokee SRT8 in the mid 16 seconds range, it covers the quarter mile from the state in the mid 13 seconds range, a top speed of 257 km / h and comes trozt the high weight of 96.6 km / h after 35.4 meters to a halt.
The fuel consumption seems indeed likely to play a minor role, but is nevertheless worth mentioning that the new V8 has a consumption-reducing cylinder deactivation, which separates four of the eight combustion chambers of the fuel supply when full V8 power is not needed.
