Few rides can wear pink and still look hairy-chested, and it is all in the details. Jeep's latest generation Wrangler is one of them, especially in the hot Rubicon 392 specification, and fitted with something that came from the aftermarket world, just like the one pictured below.
Can't tell what’s new, besides that pink look that is likely a wrap? That would be the alloy set. The wheels came from Vossen, and they're called the HF-5. They're available from 19 to 24 inches in diameter, with respective widths of 8.5-12 inches, and can be finished in different hues.
The Y-spoke alloys send Lambo vibes and measure 20 inches on the pictured Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. They have a black look that goes in hand with the similarly-finished components all around, come with a matching spare attached to the tailgate, and were wrapped in chunky tires that do not affect the truck's off-roading prowess.
Want to know how much the alloys cost? That would be at least $699 per wheel in the 20-inch size and $100 less for the smallest offering. The largest starts at $899 per wheel. Mind you, the HF-5 is not necessarily limited to high-riders, as it can also be found on various other models, including the Audi e-tron, Tesla Model 3, Mercedes-AMG GT, Ford Mustang, McLaren 570S, BMW M8, Acura Integra, etc.

This Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 may retain its original firepower, as Vossen hasn't mentioned the engine in the social media post shared below. That means a 6.4L naturally aspirated V8. According to the official spec sheet, the engine steams out 470 horsepower (476 ps/350 kW) and 470 pound-foot (637 Nm) of torque.
The V8, which is anything but impressive when compared to the whining Hellcat-powered beasts, works in concert with four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. The American automaker based in Toledo, Ohio, claims that the Wrangler Rubicon 392 takes 4.6 seconds to 62 mph (100 kph), adding that the quarter-mile is a 13-second affair.
Pricing for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 starts at $92,140. However, you may want to place an order soon if you really want one, as the company is rumored to pull the plug on it. An alleged leaked dealer document speaks about the model driving off into the sunset sometime this year, yet only after being celebrated with a special derivative that might be called the Final Edition.
Only a handful of dealers will reportedly get the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition, and we have no idea how it will stand out from the crowd. It might get a few special touches inside and out while retaining the original firepower, or that's what we think anyway. Still, it could all turn out to be false, so we'd take it with a pinch of salt for now.
