Of all a car types upon which to bottom a high-performance machine, one which was originally intended to go off road as well as after developed in to a towering family wagons you make use of currently would not be our initial choice. And yet, time as well as again you see which automobile enthusiasts – even ones calling a shots at major automakers – will make anything go quicker as well as faster if since a chance. That's how a initial Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 was innate back in 2006, as well as Chrysler has again seen fit to request this extreme diagnosis to its best-selling SUV – despite a fact which its tiny life seemingly violates each facet of Jeep's rugged off-road image.

But a tiny segment of super utes to which a Grand Cherokee SRT8 belongs has gotten intensely rival in a past couple of years while Chrysler clawed its way out of bankruptcy. Sport utility vehicles from BMW, Porsche as well as Mercedes-Benz have spawned unholy super utes with sufficient horsepower to embarrass supercars from only a couple of years ago.

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 doesn't fool around by German rules, though.
