Even though it was dropped when Jeep introduced the fifth and latest generation Grand Cherokee, the Trackhawk still deserves the petrolhead crowd's attention. It was the Stellantis-owned brand's range-topping variant, and due to its ultra-powerful motor, it had what it takes to give other similarly-sized models from the super segment (ahem, Lamborghini Urus) a run for their money.
There are at least 707 reasons to love it. That's how much horsepower it has. The Hellcat engine, a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, churns out 645 pound-feet (875 Nm) of torque straight from the factory, and this turns it into a neck-snapping fast machine in a straight-line test. The naught to sixty-two mph (0-100 kph) acceleration takes three and a half seconds, and it is an 11-second car down the quarter mile. Therefore, it feels right at home at the drag strip as it does, doubling as a school bus.
Jeep's Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has also won the hearts of the rich and famous. Naz Reid owns the pictured example. The 24-year-old professional basketball player has left his mark on the super SUV with a discreet yet effective makeover. The model has a new hood with an integrated scoop inspired by the one that equips the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. It sports new tailpipes that are part of a new exhaust system signed by Borla, and the taillights were smoked. Made by Forgiato and featuring a multi-spoke design, the wheels are bigger than the standard ones. They have a black look, which, together with other stuff finished in the same hue, provides contrast to the custom matte color of the vehicle.
Privacy windows prevent bystanders from looking inside. However, Champion Motoring, which dropped a few images of this customized machine online recently, was kind enough to include a couple of pictures of the cockpit. One thing that immediately draws attention is the starlight headliner, a feature typically found in Rolls-Royce vehicles. It has black leather upholstery on the seats and other parts, and the steering wheel sports a mix of carbon fiber, boasting a yellow twelve o'clock marking and identical stitching. We cannot spot any additional upgrades, but other stuff would likely have to be mentioned if the cabin was more camera friendly.
We're even more interested in the engine and if it has received a power boost. Sure, the Borla exhaust system gives it a few additional horses, but not that many to make a difference. Overall, this is a highly-appealing project that we can get behind, and one of the best-looking tuned copies we have seen. Do you agree? And if so, would you make yours look like this? We think a murdered-out look would have suited the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk like a glove, making it as smooth as butter on a hot pan.
