7 Cars The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Can Beat To 60mph
What type of witchcraft Jeep has used to make the new Grand Cherokee Trackhawk so fast, we don't know. What we do know is that the big SUV is faster off the line than some seriously fast cars
The new Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is fast. It’s the size of the moon and weighs about the same as Ayres Rock, but thanks to four-wheel drive, clever launch control and some sort of voodoo incantation, the super-SUV launches to 60mph in a bonkers 3.5 seconds on the way to an 11.6sec quarter-mile.
It uses a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 to smoosh 697bhp down through the four wheels, and if that engine configuration sounds familiar, it’s because you’ll find the same basic unit in the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and even the Dodge Demon, albeit in more highly-modified form. It’s obviously doing a good job, looking at the cars it’s faster than. We dug up a list of 0-60mph times and… well, you can see where we’re going with this.
2016 BMW M2 – 4.0sec
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ-400 – 3.7sec
2003 Lamborghini Gallardo – 4.0sec
2010 Porsche 997.2 911 GT3 – 3.7sec
2011 Lexus LFA – 3.6sec
2017 Aston Martin DB11 – 3.7sec
2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat – 3.7sec

Insert Fiat Multipla
but can it turn?
Nope
That was also my first thought.
0-60 in 3.5 is very impressive, but I’m more interested in how this thing would react the minute it leaps into a corner. My guess is that it things wouldn’t end well.
Still, moving a wide, heavy, and tall vehicle in that time-frame is quite a feat. Well done FCA.
0-100 real quick
anyone know the name of the evo front bumper? i know the splitter is a seperate piece but i love the look of that old style front bumper
That’s all good and everything but wait until you take all those cars on the track the jeep will be crucified
Cars it can actually beat in a track:

Yeah…but which one of these cars are less cool being beat to 60mph by a fast SUV? None of them. Which one of these cars would make you say “Nah, I’ll have the Jeep.” None of them.
