2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The folks at CARandDRIVER recently caught up with the Jeep crew and asked them the question we’ve all been waiting an answer for. Will there be a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8? While they didn’t officially confirm anything (or deny anything), they did say that when Chrysler does do an SRT8 version of the new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you can expect it to appear within the first couple of model years after introduction.

Power is expected to come from a 6.4L naturally aspirated HEMI V8 making between 505-hp and 525-hp.
