With a 0-60-mph time in below 5 seconds – in moist or dry circumstances – it’s faster than opponents resembling Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5.
“There are prospects who need the utility, configuration and functionality of a sport-utility car with sports-car-like efficiency,” mentioned Kipp Owen, Director – Street and Racing Technology, Chrysler Group. “The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 offers all that and extra. It fulfills the SRT mission of finest efficiency at the finest worth, and units a brand new benchmark for efficiency SUVs.”
Powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI® V-8 producing 420 horsepower (313 kW) and 420 lb.-ft. of torque (569 N-m), the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 delivers an entire efficiency package deal, with distinctive journey and dealing with, world-class braking, race-inspired inside appointments and purposeful, performance-oriented exterior enhancements.
Powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI® V-8 that produces 420 horsepower (313 kW) and 420 lb.-ft. of torque (569 N-m), the 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 delivers the full efficiency package deal with distinctive journey and dealing with, world-class braking, race-inspired inside appointments and purposeful, performance-oriented exterior enhancements.
For instance, the entrance fascia offers aerodynamic advantages by decreasing carry and drag, whereas offering ample air move to chill the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine. The entrance fascia additionally helps improve brake-system cooling by means of built-in air ducts.
The rear fascia incorporates an aggressive heart cut-out in an effort to accommodate twin 4-inch exhaust ideas. Sill extensions lead to one other purposeful enhancement by creating downforce.
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8’s cabin options an SRT signature race-inspired inside.

DESIGN
Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design, Chrysler Group: “The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 was designed to evoke two essential qualities: efficiency functionality and refinement. With delicate but purposeful enhancements inside and outside, it redefines what a efficiency SUV needs to be.”
The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8’s entrance fascia makes use of aerodynamic enhancements to scale back carry and drag, whereas offering ample air move to chill the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine. The entrance fascia additionally helps improve brake-system cooling by means of built-in air ducts.
In the rear, a modified fascia incorporates an aggressive heart cutout to accommodate twin 4-inch exhaust ideas. Sill extensions are one other purposeful enhancement that assist create downforce.
Inside the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8’s cabin are power-adjustable, deeply sculpted efficiency entrance seats full with uniquely patterned efficiency suede inserts to carry occupants throughout aggressive maneuvering. Interior accents embody a carbon-fiber technical end on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, instrument-panel forehead and shift knob, complemented by a refined aluminum ending on the heart stack, shifter and door-switch bezels.

ENGINEERING
Kipp Owen, Director – Street and Racing Technology: “The SRT-developed four-wheeldrive system in the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 coupled with its 6.1-liter, 420-horsepower HEMI V-8 are an unbeatable mixture, when it comes to all-weather efficiency. But it doesn’t cease there: The 2007 Grand Cherokee SRT8 additionally advantages from SRT enhancements together with Brembo brakes, a performance-tuned suspension and race-bred inside and exterior enhancements.”
SRT engineers created the first SRT car with full-time four-wheel drive by creating a brand new switch case. They used the entrance half of a Jeep switch case, chosen for its functionality and light-weight weight, and mated it to the rear half of a heavier-duty case, chosen for its ruggedness and talent to accommodate digital full-time, four-wheel-drive system elements.
Under regular driving circumstances, 5 % to 10 % of torque is directed to the entrance wheels, however as a lot of the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8’s torque that’s wanted could be directed ahead when extra traction or stability is required. Remaining torque is distributed through a heavy-duty driveshaft to a Dana 44 rear differential.
Providing horsepower and torque to the distinctive SRT four-wheel-drive system is a specifically tuned model of the new 6.1-liter SRT HEMI engine, which was developed by including extra cubic inches, rising the compression ratio and redesigning the cylinder head, consumption and exhaust programs for higher move and elevated engine velocity.
Power from the SRT 6.1-liter HEMI is distributed by means of a particular torque converter to an SRT-upgraded, five-speed automated transmission with specifically calibrated driver-selectable Auto Stick, which gives totally automated or handbook shift choice.
Chassis setup for the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 employs SRT-tuned dampers, distinctive sway bars and specifically tailor-made spring charges and suspension bushings. Front suspension knuckles had been redesigned to accommodate high-performance braking and steering programs. The journey top of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is 1 inch decrease than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which lowers aerodynamic drag in addition to the heart of gravity, and contributes to the car’s stability and aggressive stance.
With an optionally available hitch package deal accessible from Mopar®, the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is able to towing as much as 3,500 kilos.
The braking system of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 options four-piston efficiency brake calipers developed by Brembo, completed in gloss black. While braking, these calipers work with 360 mm x 32 mm vented rotors up entrance, with 350 mm x 28 mm vented rotors in the rear.
