Jeep reveals six new concepts
Jeep and the Chrysler Group’s Mopar have joined forces to create six new concept vehicles that will be unveiled later this week at the annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk II
The people over at Jeep call this the most extreme Grand Cherokee yet, and it is powered by a clean EcoDiesel engine that provides a lot of low-end torque to shift the beast over any obstacle.
Jeep Wrangler Mopar Recon
The Jeep Wrangler Mopar Recon is outfitted with a 350kW 6.4-litre HEMI V8 Mopar crate engine, Dana 60 front and rear axles with 4.10 gearing suspended by a 4.5-inch prototype long-arm lift kit.
Jeep Wrangler Stitch
This is a follow-up to an older Easter Jeep Safari concept called the Pork Chop, the new Stitch is based around the 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon however it is lighter by 1360Kg, thus resulting in a power-to-weight ratio close to that of the 344kW Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.
Jeep Wrangler Sand Trooper II
This is a step up from the Sand Trooper that was debuted at SEMA in 2012. The Sand Trooper II comes with a 280kW/542Nm 5.7-litre HEMI V8, a five-speed automatic transmission and Jeep Performance Parts prototype forged beadlock wheels with solid 40-inch off-road tyres.
Jeep Wrangler Flattop
This concept combines style and refinement with some rather hard-core off-road capabilities. The vehicle features a custom one-piece windowless hardtop, customized Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary model bumpers and bonnet, as well as custom high line fender flares, LED headlights and a bunch of other great features.
Jeep Wrangler Slim
The runt of the litter, as it were, the Slim is powered by a 3.6-litre V6 and comes with full doors and a hard top – two doors that is. This one features some prototype 17-inch Jeep Performance Parts forged beadlock wheels as well.
All of these concepts will be unveiled at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah from March 23-31.
