While we've heard reports that the SRT (or SRT8, looking on whom you trust) can get the maximum amount as 500 hp from its new vi.4-liter Hemi V8, we're a minimum of sure that the SRT is truly coming back, and certain to arrive late this summer. If it's anything like the already deeply impressive Grand, the SRT8 is going to be both refined and scary quick, with a predicted eight-speed transmission and at a value (roughly $45,000) that deeply undercuts the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and other performance crossovers.
ALSO: In 2012 we'll see a Maserati 4x4 primarily based on this Jeep's platform, with a Ferrari-designed V8 beneath the hood. How come? as a result of Fiat owns both Chrysler (Jeep's parent) and Maserati/Ferrari. If you have got a deeper philosophical question, like, "Does the world need a Jeeperati?," we'll advise that you sit back and let the market decide.
