The Nurburgring is no longer just a historical circuit, it’s a marketing tool used to promote high performance vehicles pushed to the limit by carmakers in order to obtain new lap time records. It’s a catchy advertisement instrument and we’re always eager to hear every lap time, even if it’s about a chunky car like the Jeep Grand Cherokee STR8.
This time it’s even more impressive, as we found out that the female star driver Sabine Schmitz decided to push the car to its limits, managing to do a lap time of 8:49:487. Even if the STR8 has about 500 hp, don’t forget, we’re speaking about a car that weighs more than two tons.
We even have a clip in which Schmitz is driving around the circuit in the powerful SUV. The STR8 version has a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine that produces 470 hp and 630 Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque. Thus, it's capable of hitting 60 mph in under 5 seconds and is limited at 155 mph (250 km/h).
