Jeep is representin'

eah, that thang's got a Hemi. In fact, it's got two.

In a surprise move Sunday, DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group unveiled the Jeep Hurricane concept, a brawny off-roader powered by two of the automaker's famous V-8 engines and an answer to critics who believe the famously rugged Jeep brand is going soft.

"We haven't forgotten, nor will we ever forget, what makes a Jeep a Jeep," said Chrysler CEO Dieter Zetsche, standing next to the open-top monster at the 2005 North American International Auto Show.

Chrysler will more than double the Jeep lineup by 2007, beginning this year with a luxury SUV and later with expected car-based models, but Hurricane makes clear that Jeep is not ready to abandon its off-road heritage.

The Hurricane's two engines -- one in front, one back -- combine to make 670 horsepower, and offer 740 foot-pounds of torque. It has 14 inches of ground clearance, and does 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds. The signature feature is a steering system that allows it to turn in a complete circle in the same spot.

While Hurricane is a concept, Zetsche said patents developed could show up on future Jeeps.

I meant earlier....when I was reading about it on MSN's NAIAS site....:disa:

I'm not that dumb! :heh:

[Hoser]

How many miles to the gallon (or gallons to the mile) do you think it would get?

[bachviet]

Double Hemi... :eek:

[AlpineJay]

How many miles to the gallon (or gallons to the mile) do you think it would get?

1 highway, 0 city. :P

C'mon man... give me more credit than that...

:heh:

Heh...

but honestly, it'll probably get around 8 in the City and 11 on the highway.

Unless they use that new multi-displacement version on the Hemi which can shut down half of the valves and cylinders thus making it regular mileage at 13 City 16 Hwy. :thumb:

Hey Mr. Chairman - you took surprisingly a long time to respond to this post thus allowing me to assume (apparently falsely) that you had fainted as suspected. I mean with all the "HEMI" stuff I've read about since you got your truck, I thought seeing two in one body might make you do just that...

Good to see you didn't, though :P

From this (http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0501/09/-54845.htm) article: "...the Hurricane can run in four-, eight- or 16-cylinder mode."

Sometimes... I actually do "work" at "work" :shifty:


But don't tell anyone I said that... ;)
