The most powerful and technologically advanced, a high-performance Jeep vehicle ever - the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - arrives in the summer of 2011 with a combination of legendary Jeep capability and utility, merged with maximum performance engineering class Group Chrysler LLC's Street and Racing Technology (SRT).
Provide an excellent performance in all driving conditions, and integrates the basic functionality of SRT - including functional, performance-oriented style, the world-class ride and handling, benchmark braking and race-inspired events interior - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Jeep to expand the range and is based on the successful launch of the award-winning 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
"The all-new 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the ultimate performance SUV that offers a combination of the Jeep and capacity efficiency, world-class performance, luxury and sophistication, and innovative technology," he said Mike Manley, president and CEO - the Jeep brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "Jeep vehicles have long been known for their off-road capabilities. In addition to traction Jeep four-wheel drive and utility, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 capacity to a new level by offering extreme performance driving enthusiasts from the street and track.
"Our new performance SUV benchmark portfolio effectively expands Grand Cherokee, and continue to attract new Jeep dealer customers," said Manley.
Designed and built by technology SRT formula, which raises performance to astonishing levels, the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 will run from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in mid- 16 of the second area can cover a quarter mile in the region mid-13 second has a top speed of 155 mph, and brakes from 60 to 0 mph in 116 feet.
The owners of the Chrysler Group's SRT vehicles whenever they receive professional conduct at the Richard Petty Racing School in the framework of the SRT Track Experience, designed to improve their knowledge and skills of driving on the road or track. The sessions are held throughout the year on selected tracks.
Great Powertrain
Power 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the Chrysler Group's new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 energy-saving technology, which produces about 465 horsepower and 465 Nm torque - Improve 45 hp and 45 Nm of torque over the 6.1-liter HEMI V -8 replacing.
Active intake manifold and cam High-Lift with the cam slowly can produce low-end torque, maximizing the power of high-end and improve the wider rpm band. In particular, 90 percent of the maximum torque is available between 2800 and 6000 rpm, allowing inspired from a standing start and improve performance in a straight line.
Fuel Standard information technology and a new valve-to-2012 activates the exhaust system provides a four-cylinder operation to engage a wider choice of tours, offering both better fuel economy - an estimated increase of 13 percent on the highway - and a range of about 450 miles on a tank of gas.
Standard steering wheel paddles club membership automatic standard on the ground. Both are paired with an automatic transmission proved, if the choice of the bustling city to spend on road and track. Each method allows the driver to pass, while the transmission controller calibration prevents situations that can rev the engine. Entirely suitable electronic control makes changing all the powertrain more responsive while reducing the hardness.
maneuverability and the ability
For 2011, Jeep Grand Cherokee all models offer an improved and refined by riding on the road in part to the structure of the vehicle body. The torsional rigidity has improved by 146 percent over the previous model, improved ride, durability and reduced noise, vibration and harshness. The improvement is achieved with more than 5,400 welds in the body alone, marking an increase of 53 percent in soldering, an increase of 42 percent in the welding arc and a 38 percent increase in structural adhesives.
With the new Grand Cherokee SRT8 2012, engineers have improved manipulation.
The best treatment of the Jeep vehicle ever - is capable of 0.90 G-slip pad - features the new SRT-tuned system, adaptive suspension damping to manage the new Jeep selective-track system, which is connected to different systems ( stability control, adaptive damping, the change of transmission strategy, to refer the matter Torque Distribution, Electronic Limited Slip Differential performance of the accelerator and off of the cylinder) to automatically tune the vehicle dynamics. Drivers can choose from five modes of transport, specific dynamic driving conditions:
* Auto: the tour provides more compliant and automatically adapts to any situation of the road, using the air suspension tuning
* Sport: improved body control for a sporty, fun to drive, ride on the road
* Trailer: provides safe to reduce the pitch and bounce to improve towing capacity
* Monitor: Provides a high performance, the company, "the suspension in place to track the ability to block the movements of the body and the experience of reading the final
* Snow Report deliver the most dynamic conservative mode, so the vehicle safely remain in the network of winter weather
Jeep Quadra-active rule in the application of four cases Wheel Drive Transfer Trac uses input from a variety of sensors to determine tire slip as soon as possible and take corrective action. The system used to detect gas Anticipating the rapid movement of the throttle stop and maximize front wheel slippage occurs. When it detects tire slippage, the Jeep 4x4 system can transfer up to 100 percent of available torque to the rear wheel.
Refer the matter to improve also the transformation of the ratio of torque between front and rear axles to keep the driver's intended path. The new Grand Cherokee SRT8 is also Electronic Limited Slip Differential, which eliminates slippage of the rear wheel and improved handling.
The performance tuned, fully hydraulic control system is improved with a new, heavy pump and cooler. Revised transmission gives drivers a sense more direct intervention on the center.
New Division 5-spoke 20-inch forged aluminum wheels rolling on Pirelli P Zero P295/45ZR20 tires runflat (standard or available for all stations in three seasons).
To complement the capabilities of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is a trailer rating of 5,000 pounds.
