0-60 in 4.8 seconds. Top speed of 155 mph. This is the pacesetter. Let us introduce the 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8, complete with 465 hp and 465 ft/lbs torque of paddle-shifting joy.

Really nice. If you're going to get a v-8 that is the one. Mine would be black.

What's the fuel economy?
I really like it but when you think about it, WK SRT had a lot meaner look and actually looked like a tricked out vehicle. This also has nice touches like the hood and fogs, but from rear it doesn't really stand out. What made WK SRT look better was the euro tails, rear fogs and of course center exhaust.
Really, they should not have sacrificed it just because people would need to tow.. Sad.

I will probably be seeing this in the next few days in NY Auto Show. Old one goes for $45k now, I think..

from the rear of the gcsrt8 you got the dual center exhaust and if the engines running you know....

 

[Doublecardan]

does anybody else notice how much the GC looks like the Chrysler Pacifica?

 

[Ry' N Jen]

That GC will more than likely run about $75K-$85K here in B.C.
It's too bad they don't do an "Off Road" version of that Heep!

Not really, I wish they did not discontinued it, it would have made a great vehicle, Daimler hacked it to avoid cutting into their MB sales. It was a fine vehicle. Anyway, It looks more like the new Durango.

The "Pacifica" was just a conglomeration of thrown together parts to fill a mid market segment in the vehicle world!
Nothing special.

Looks awesome. Just not a fan of the wheels they have on that one.

Looks pretty cool and as much as I like the thought of a 465 HP Jeep I would much rather it be tuned for off road use and thrown in a lifted 4 door wrangler. Just my opinion, I guess I am more of a "Jeeps are for offroad and sports cars are for going fast" guy.

 

[BjBnet]

meh...looks too car like. The first thing I saw which I didn't like was the same as what Shaggy said about the rims. Really nice interior though

What is that up front under grille right at the center? Camera or hitch receiver?
