What It's like to Drive the Jeep Trailcat, a 707 HP Hellcat Wrangler

We're willing to bet that many people will try to replicate this project and have a JK with a Hellcat engine sitting in their garage. But the video shot by the guys at The Fast Lane Car suggests it's not all that.

Sure, the 6.2-liter supercharged engine with 707 horsepower might be able to make the Jeep go fast, but that won't happen in these rocky conditions. Also, all the parts that have to be strengthened to cope with the power add a lot of weight, so you end up with a vehicle that weighs about 4,600 pounds, despite having no doors or roof.

Cooling is not a problem with added radiators, nor is getting enough fuel to the engine when you have two pumps. The Hellcat is made even more sonorous by adding two 2.5-inch Borla exhaust pipes.

The Jeep Trailcat was created for Jeep’s 50th annual Easter Safari fan fest in Moab, Utah. Besides the monster engine, it also features a 12-inch longer wheelbase and gigantic 39.5-inch BFGoodrich Krawler T/A tires, Fox shocks, and a two-inch lift.

This monster is controlled via a custom green Hellcat shift knob connected to a 6-speed manual box and Dana 60 axles front and rear. You could call this a crazy concept, but its conception is totally understandable. Since 2014, Fiat-Chrysler have been asked to "Hellcat everything" and they are trying their best to do it. Next year, we will have the first Hellcat truck, a Grand Cherokee that might humiliate the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S in a drag race.
