(continued from above)
Delivering outstanding driving performance in all conditions, and
complemented by key SRT attributes - including functional, performance-oriented
styling, world-class ride and handling, benchmark braking and race-inspired
interior appointments - the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 broadens the Jeep
vehicle lineup and builds upon the successful launch of the award-winning 2011
Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Designed and built using the proven SRT formula that
raises the performance to astonishing levels, the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
SRT8 runs from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the mid-16 second range,
can cover the quarter mile in the mid-13 second range, has a top speed of 155
mph, and brakes from 60-0 mph in 116 feet.
Owners of any Chrysler Group
SRT vehicle receive one day of professional driving instruction from the Richard
Petty Racing School as part of the SRT Track Experience, designed to maximize
their driving knowledge and skills on the street or track. Sessions are held
throughout the year at selected tracks.
Aggressive and Functional
Exterior
The functional performance exterior of the 2012 Grand
Cherokee SRT8 features the "planted" look of a high-performance sports car by
being lowered 1 inch and adding new, SRT-exclusive, body-color wheel flares and
side sill cladding.
A one-piece front fascia contains new LED
multi-function daytime running lamps that result in an exclusive face for the
new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, while a body-colored front grille with a unique
black screen background and chrome bezel inserts adds to the aggressive look.
The integrated lower front grille is painted in gloss black and a newly
designed underbody belly pan features integrated brake ducting to improve
cooling and fade performance. Completing the new front end is a newly sculpted
hood with functional dual black heat extractors for added engine cooling.
At the rear, the SRT performance influence continues with a new liftgate
spoiler that reduces drag and improves downforce. A unique one-piece rear fascia
includes a separate air diffuser along with an available trailer receiver and
access cover. New for the 2012 version of the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the
dual-sport exhaust system featuring 4-inch exhaust tips.
