The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is now ready to hit the streets and those of you who still aren't convinced of this high-rider's dynamic abilities can now get a sample of its sprinting might.
We're dealing with a machine that tips the scales at 5,500 lbs and yet this Grand Cherokee is able to play the 0 to 60 mph run in 3.5 seconds, while requiring 11.6 seconds when given a quarter-mile task.

Then there's the towing capacity of the thing, which sits at a generous 7,200 lbs.

The Trackhawk comes with matching stopping power, which is provided by the generous Brembo brakes. The stopping hardware can bring the vehicle to a halt from 60 mph in 114 feet.

Now, the numbers above are just some details on the screen, which is why we've brought along a video that shows what this thing is capable of in real life. To be more precise, the video at the bottom of the page shows the Jeep halo car pulling a 0 to 60 mph sprint. Of course, the Jeep uses its Launch Control feature for this stunt.

We can't discuss the Trackhawk incarnation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee without mentioning the price tag of the thing. And that's because we're talking the most expensive product to have ever worn the Jeep badge.

The 2018 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk comes with an MSRP of $85,900, but since you're going to pay this much for one, you will want some options, right?

Well, you should be prepared to pay north of $100,000 for a fully-gifted example of the machine. Then again, after checking out the action in the piece of footage below, that might not sound like an issue.

P.S.: The supercharged aural delights that come with this clip are on the house, so all you have to do is make sure the volume is all the way up.
