Jeep® 2006 Grand Cherokee SRT8Quickest, Most Powerful Jeep Ever Combines 420-Horsepower HEMI® and Four-Wheel Drive
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 performance: Zero to 60 mph in less than five seconds, quarter-mile in less than 14 seconds - Quicker than Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW X5
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jeep announced pricing today for the ultimate performance sport-utility vehicle, the all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.
Boasting a pair of firsts -- the first Jeep-branded Street and Racing Technology (SRT) vehicle and the first four-wheel drive SRT vehicle.
"The all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 outperforms competitive vehicles that cost twice as much," said Joe Eberhardt, Executive Vice President - Global Sales, Marketing and Service, Chrysler Group. "With the addition of SRT DNA, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 sets a new benchmark, with incredible on-road and all-weather performance. It's the latest example of the SRT credo of offering benchmark performance at the lowest price."
Powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI engine producing 420 horsepower and 420 lb.- ft. of torque, the all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 gets power to the pavement through an SRT-engineered full-time four-wheel-drive system. With a 0-60 mph time of less than five seconds, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is quicker than Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5, and is the second-quickest SRT vehicle, eclipsed only by the 510-horsepower Dodge Viper SRT10.
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Powertrain The all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8's 6.1-liter HEMI produces 90 more horsepower and 27 percent more power than the 5.7-liter HEMI-equipped Jeep Grand Cherokee. To channel that power to the pavement, SRT engineers designed a unique four-wheel-drive system that is capable of handling 420 lb.- ft. of torque, yet light enough to contribute to Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8's performance characteristics.
A key part of the four-wheel-drive system is the SRT-engineered transfer case, which was developed to be lightweight, yet strong enough to handle the massive torque from the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8's powertrain. Other elements of the drive system are an upgraded output shaft, heavy-duty driveshaft and Dana 44 rear differential.
Functional Performance The all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 features world-class ride and handling, benchmark braking, functional, performance-oriented exterior design and race-inspired interior appointments.
Ride and handling are enhanced with improvements including SRT-tuned dampers, unique sway bars, and specially tailored suspension bushings and spring rates. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) was specially calibrated for the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.
The braking system of the all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 includes Brembo four-piston calipers clamping 360 x 32 mm vented rotors in front, and 350 x 26 mm rotors in the rear.
An all-new front fascia reduces lift and drag, and incorporates ducts to direct air to cool the brakes. Side sill extensions create downforce, while a new rear fascia features an aggressive center cutout for 4-inch dual exhaust tips.
Three exterior colors are offered: Bright Silver, Brilliant Black and Inferno Red.
Inside, the all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is equipped with power- adjustable front seats with aggressive bolsters and performance suede inserts. Comprehensive instrumentation is trimmed with blue accents while the center stack, shifter bezel and door-switch bezels are trimmed with a "refined aluminum" finish. The 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 interior is offered in Medium Slate.
Available Premium Amenities Available features on the all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 include: o Heated, power-adjustable front seats o Power sunroof with one-touch express open and close o Rain-sensing automatic wipers o Rear-seat video system with overhead screen and DVD in center floor console o DVD-based navigation system with turn-by-turn directions and voice prompts o SIRIUS Satellite Radio o UConnect(TM) with Bluetooth(TM) technology that recognizes up to seven different Bluetooth-equipped cellular phones and responds to voice commands for hands-free conversations
