Jeep has put its fastest ever SUV, the V8-engined Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, to the ultimate test in straight-line speed - a Top Trumps inspired drag race against two of the most iconic pin-up performance cars ever built. Racing against a classic 1991 Audi Quattro and TVR Griffith, the 707bhp, V8 Grand Cherokee went head-to-head against the iconic performance cars to celebrate a limited run of models going on sale, and to pay homage to the legendary poster cars of yesteryear.
With the combination of a supercharged 6.2-litre Hemi V8 engine, launch control and a torque reserve system, the Trackhawk boasts a blistering 0-100km/h time of 3.7 seconds and a 402m time of 11.48 seconds, turning the traditional sense of a supercar on its head, and positioning Trackhawk as a true supercar SUV.
Reaching a blazing 192km/h, the Trackhawk's challengers finished with equally quick times - the Audi Quattro and TVR Griffith crossing the finish line in 18.48 seconds and 13.81 seconds respectively.
