Has anyone seen this? It looks like there's still a possibility that FCA will offer a more powerful Grand Cherokee before the WL model is released. https://www.motor1.com/news/371781/jeep-grand-cherokee-trackhawk-spied/

I have my doubts...

I mean, why not? It fits

 

[Daniel454]

Maybe but I am thinking they are just going to over the hood as part of an appearance package to help renew interest since they keep pushing back the WL....

 

[ThawkMike]

I guess redeye engine/blower will be only option available.

1700 sold in 2019? Better more then a hood if they hope to sell more then that.

****...only 1700 2019 THs were sold? I wonder how many 20s gonna sell.

I was holding off doing my engine mods till next spring on the hopes they would be releasing a special edition of the TH. I would definitely line up for one even though I could easily improve on the factory power with modifications. It would be interesting to see what driveline upgrades would be required to keep it viable with a factory warranty. A wider body Redeye or Demon version with some differentiation in the bodywork would be welcome. I think all the tuners would potentially benefit with extra beefy factory parts availability as well.

Demon blower would be awesome to see on that! But if no 2.7 blower, then we all can make plenty of power with bolt ons.

I've also been putting mods off in anticipation of a 797 hp TH leveraging the lighter stelvio platform come 2021. I can see dodge putting the redeye option out there for the WK2 to squeak out the last little bit of money they can before a platform refresh. If that's the case, I would still wait until the WL platform comes out due to the weight savings...only non-starter would be if the looks are "meh".

 

[Toynut]

I doubt the new Stelio platform will accept a Hellcat powertrain, let alone an American V8. I believe a twin turbo V6 of a fairly high state of tune might be the new top dog option. I do think that the new vehicle will weigh at least 500 pounds less than the current platform, so, performance characteristics might be reasonably close ( with much improved handling). Just my 2 cents.

any additional news on this? my dealer says that it "looks like one is in development," but I highly suspect he has any better sources than what can be found online.
If a redline is the swansong for this platform, I'm totally in... should get a decent trade in for a loaded '18 with 5k miles

 

[hawkeye33]

I have a friend at the plant, I don't like to bother him, but I can ask.....stay tuned.

 

[jtg]

any news?

 

[phatstorm]

I am also anxious for any update.

 

[Car-Guy]

I posted this in another thread but here it is again. Looks like they built "one" for the Dodge Durango... Why not the Grand Cherokee? They must be thinking about it!

 

[hawkeye33]

I shot him a text - and - silence....unusual for him....maybe rather than lie he's not saying anything. I'll try again.

 

[Blown7]

Actually the WL will start with the new GME LI6 turbo. Then some versions of the Hemi .....up to something supercharged.

WLjeeps.org Resume Speeds/Milous site.

 

[Black Track]

I think that, based a lighter-duty Alfa platform, "Some versions of the Hemi" means the smaller displacements. And don't be surprised if a hybrid version is in the works too.

Of course, I'm hoping they carry on with the 707hp and Redeye. No such thing as too much power.

My contact at the plant is fairly high up and has heard nothing official. He has no other comment on the subject.
