Can This Jeep Trackhawk Beat A Tesla Model X In A Straight Line?

This drag race pits the Hellcat-engined Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk against the all-conquering Model X P100D and a Mercedes-AMG GLC 63

The 642bhp Lamborghini Urus wasn’t able to beat the mighty Tesla Model X P100D in Car Wow’s recent drag race, so clearly, what’s needed in this battle of battery cells vs old-fashioned internal combustion is more power. And that’s exactly what we have here thanks to the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which has 697bhp to play with from a V8 you’d usually find in the pre-facelift Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

Yes, we have seen the Trackhawk and the Model X go head-to-head on the strip before, and back then, it was the latter that came out on top. But with this race run on a much colder day - which the Tesla’s battery pack clearly doesn’t appreciate - we could be in for a different result this time.

Can This Jeep Trackhawk Beat A Tesla Model X In A Straight Line?

Being so far down on power, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 doesn’t realistically stand a chance against its competitors, but it does have a weight advantage, making it interesting to see how close it can get on the quarter-mile run.

So Grand Cherokee wins the traffic light race. Would love to see that vs the Lambo Urus!

The thing is… Tesla actually done the 1/4 mile in over 15 minutes and 11 seconds if you count the time you need from starting the car up and racing it. While racing on cold engine is not good for an ICE, it can do that, you don’t have to wait for the thing to warm up, also if they would race on full mile or 1/2 mile trackhawk would have won that too.

Also which specs do you read while internally screaming “AALLLL OF THE NOISE AND POWERRRR” of course the trackhawk, for some reason which enviromentalists do not understand hearing “ 6,2 L supercharged V8 gasoline engine” brings up way more excitement than hearing about 5 wat motor in your tesla they stole from your mom’s sex toy.

They need to do this once without prepping the teslas battery. Because i cannot think of a single moment outside a drag venue, where you’d get the chance to do that.

I’m more surprised that Mercedes kept up with these really fast SUVs lol, and it’s not even an AMG
