As we're approaching the launch of the new-age Grand Wagoneer, which Jeep should introduce for the 2022 model year, the popularity of the classic model continues to grow. Now, not everybody sees the old-school SUV as a cozy cruiser, with certain aficionados having a fetish for Grand Wagoneers that can give supercars a run for their money. Case in point the virtual build portrayed in this rendering.
As anybody who knows a thing or two about cars could tell you, the sheer idea of a Jeep Grand Wagoneer gifted with Hellcat muscle would be enough to deliver plenty of giggles. Nevertheless, this pixel project takes things to a whole new level.

To be more precise, the 6.2-liter HEMI hiding under the factory hood of this high-rider now packs a pair of turbos. And, as you'll be able to notice in one of the images portraying the machine, the factory supercharger is still there.

Such a setup wouldn't necessarily make sense in the real world, but one can always dream, especially since this is one of the renderings aimed to be a celebration of Fourth of July.

And, having seen quite a few such pixel paintings online, I must tell you that usually only means adding the red, white and blue flag over various cars that come in standard trim, but this one is in a totally different league, adding the said custom hardware and more.

As such, this Jeep also comes with a wheel and tire package that would allows it to put all that muscle to the road. Oh, and the front end now features a discreet carbon air dam. And since these are pretty much the only clues towards the newfound nature of the vehicle, it can easily get the sleeper label.

When it comes to the mind behind these pixels, we can thank digital artist Abimelec Arellano for the undercover speeder.

Happy 4th of July fellas! úø What a better car to commemorate the occasion than a twin-charged HEMI in the mother of the SUVs, a Wagoneer with drag slicks all around, ready for the strip! . . .
