Jeep's Hurricane Concept

'Jeep Hurricane is simply the most maneuverable, most capable and most powerful 4x4 ever built,' said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President - Chrysler Group Design. 'It pays homage to the extreme enthusiasts' Jeep vehicles in form and off-road capability, but is a unique interpretation of Jeep design. Simply stated, it is the extreme example for the Jeep brand.'


Jeep Hurricane represents the continued success of bold concept vehicles for the brands as a means of demonstrating Chrysler Group's creative and mechanical expertise. For example, powerful powertrain performance is an understatement considering the Jeep Hurricane is not just HEMI(R)-equipped, but HEMI squared. There are two 5.7-litre HEMI engines in the vehicle: one in the front and one in the back. Both engines deliver 335 horsepower and 500 N.m (370 lb-ft) of torque - a total of 670 hp and 1000 N.m (740 lb-ft) of torque.
