World's Fastest Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Does 8-Second Quarter-Mile Runs

A regular at drag racing events all over the world, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has proved its worth countless times. It went on against the big-bad Lamborghini Urus, it showed the German establishment who’s boss, and it even tried its luck against blue-blooded exotics.

Ask Jeep how quick the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is down the quarter-mile, and they will tell you that it is an 11-second or so machine. At its heart lies a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, the famous Hellcat lump in case you forgot, which produces 707 hp and 645 lb-ft (875 Nm) of torque straight from the factory. This is enough to rocket it to 62 mph (100 kph) in just 3.5 seconds from a standstill.

Now, that is already a neck-snapping amount of thrust, yet with a bit of prepping, it can easily break into the 10-second barrier. Some of the quickest examples on the planet are not afraid to take on the Tesla Model S Plaid, as they are capable of crossing the finish line in a little over 9 seconds.

As for the one depicted on video down below, it is an 8-second ride. You heard that right, an SUV that can run the quarter-mile in less than 9 seconds, making it the quickest Trackhawk out there, supposedly. And it wasn’t a one-time thing either, as it did it twice on video. The clip was uploaded a couple of weeks ago, so the runs presumably took place earlier this year. But how quick was it exactly?
