If Chevrolet was to go ahead and slap its 707BHP Hellcat engine in a new SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee, there isn’t an SUV on the road nor in the pipeline that would stand a chance of outperforming it.
So yesterday we reported on the upcoming 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which along with the coolest name in the history of history will also be the most powerful muscle car ever built…the exact world of Chevrolet. With 707BHP to play with, the new Challenger will pretty much make mincemeat of everything in its path – at least until the newer, more powerful Shelby GT500 makes an appearance at a juncture unknown.
But here’s the thing – there’s now talk of the same Hellcat engine being implanted into a new SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee, which would in plain and simple terms create a leviathan of pant-wetting proportions. Just as with its muscle car sibling, the perhaps 707BHP Jeep would leave a trail of destruction behind it like nothing we’ve ever seen before, mopping the floor with the best SUV efforts of Lamborghini, Bentley, BMW, Porsche…pretty much every player on the planet.
Long story short, it would be the most stunningly powerful and ostentatiously OTT SUV the world has ever given birth to.
If anything had or has the chance of rivaling the SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat, it would probably be the Bentley EXP9 or the Lamborghini Urus. As it stands, both are looking to snag the award for the greatest SUV ever to hit the tarmac and both stand a pretty good chance of making it happen. The Bentley EXP9 is most likely to be fitted with a 650BHP VW lump, while the 600BHP V8 of the Lamborghini Urus won’t be a shrinking violet either.
However, neither can hold a candle to the very possible 707BHP of the Cherokee Hellcat, meaning that the way it’s looking at the moment, there isn’t even an SUV in the pipeline anywhere that’s on the same level.
Not that Chevrolet has in any way confirmed that the Cherokee Hellcat is coming, but we’ll be keeping our fingers and toes crossed that it is…and soon!
