Awe-Inspiring Powertrain Powering
the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is Chrysler Group's all-new 6.4-liter HEMI®
V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology that delivers 470 horsepower (351 kW) and 465
(630 N?m) lb.-ft. of torque ? an improvement of 50 horsepower and 45 lb.-ft.
torque over the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces.
An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft
with cam phasing delivers maximum low-end torque while optimizing high-end
power across a wider and improved rpm band. Specifically, 90-percent of peak
torque is available between 2,800 and 6,000 rpm, allowing for inspired standing
starts and improved straight-line performance.
At our Jeep dealer serving the Baltimore and Towson areas, the 2012
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 features Standard Fuel Saver Technology and a
new-for-2012 active valve exhaust system. This allows four-cylinder operation
to engage over a wider rpm range, to deliver both improved fuel efficiency ? a
13-percent increase on the highway ? and an extended range of 450 miles on one
tank of gas.
Standard steering wheel mounted paddle shifters
join the standard Auto Stick on the floor. Both are mated to a proven automatic
transmission, allowing a choice of spirited shifting on the road and the race
track. Both methods give the driver the ability to shift while the transmission
controller calibration prevents situations that might over rev the engine.
Fully adaptive electronic control of all shifting makes the powertrain more
responsive while minimizing harshness.
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.
