THE MISSION
Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8 will
exceed your wildest expectations, delivering extreme driving performance in a bold, aggressive, and versatile package. The combination of Jeep’s four-wheel drive leadership and the SRT- developed 6.1-liter HEMI® maximizes the Grand Cherokee SRT8’s performance, resulting in a 0 to 60 mph time of under 5 seconds—wet or dry. The SRT8’s extreme dose of power and functional, performance-themed style deliver an exhilarating driving experience like no other.
THE HISTORY
A passion for performance has been in our blood for over fifty years, from the HEMI®-powered muscle cars of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s to the radical development of the Prowler and Viper of the 1990s. Today’s SRT team combines the Chrysler Group’s extensive motor sports engineering expertise, legendary Dodge Viper development team, and Mopar performance parts engineers to produce Jeep Street and Racing Technology.
THE PEOPLE
It takes an incredible amount of talent, creativity, and resources to create SRT-caliber high-performance vehicles. The SRT Team is a tight and passionate group that can quickly apply hard-earned knowledge from their own personal motor sports experiences. They have full access to DaimlerChrysler’s massive engineering, development, and testing resources, yet maintain the flexibility of a small, efficient group that works under their own set of guidelines. “This is an organization of enthusiasts who truly understand performance and feel they have the best job in the company,” said Dan Knott, director of SRT.
