Introducing the 2013 HPE800 Twin Turbo Jeep by Hennessey Performance
Hennessey Performance (HPE) is well known for taking fast cars, trucks and SUV's and making them faster. The company will be offering their HPE800 Twin Turbo Jeep for 2013. Based on the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, the crew from HPE takes the factory 6.4 L Hemi and increases displacement to 7.0 L (426 cubic inches) while adding a twin turbo forced induction system. The resulting 805 bhp and 823 lb-ft of torque will be enough to propel the HPE800 from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds.

Additional modifications include an upgraded transmission system and torque converter upgrade, 15.1 inch Brembo brakes front and rear, a lowered sport suspension system, lighter alloy wheels, carbon fiber front splitter and a custom leather interior with Alcantara steering wheel.

"We've built dozens of 600-800 hp Jeep SRT8s over the past five years, so we have an existing client base who will want to upgrade the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 to an even higher level", said company founder and president, John Hennessey. "This vehicle is designed for the performance minded driver who lives in Aspen or Moscow and wants to be the fastest in all weather conditions."

HPE will limit production at just 24 examples with pricing starting at $235,000.

I wish they would have removed the Jeep badging and called it something else....... It doesn't fit the Jeep lineup in my opinion.

So what does fit the lineup? Or why call it anything else Its a Jeep period
Look back to the early beginnings everyone seems to foget that Willys made .............cars Oh my gosh thats terrible,
The more they make for different segments of the population the more money coming into Jeep
Its all good
Maybe its my sales background but anytime you get someone in the door of whatever it is you are selling its good. They may come in looking at something like above, buy one and come back for a JK or KK whatever. You have them hooked on the brand now so if Jeep only sold 2 models like a lot of people would like to see , it would go belly up in no time at all
