The Jeep Hurricane made its way to the public"s knowledge
through the 2005 North American International Auto Show. This
vehicle is known to represent the continued success of valiant
concept vehicles. This vehicle also reflects and demonstrates
the Chrysler Group"s creative and mechanical expertise. It shows
off and boasts a more powerful performance. It holds the HEMI®
as its source of power. There are two 5.7 liter HEMI engines in
this Jeep Hurricane. One is installed at its front end while the
other is found at the back. Both of these provide 335 horsepower
and some 370 pound feet of torque. Just multiply the numbers by
two and you get the total figure.
Trevor Creed, senior vice president of Chrysler Group design,
states, "Jeep Hurricane is simply the most maneuverable, most
capable, and most powerful 4x4 ever built. 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."
Creed adds, "Out in the wilderness, changing direction in
minimal space can mean the difference between an afternoon of
adventure and a distress call back to the trailhead. The
multi-mode four wheel steering system on Jeep Hurricane is
designed to offer enthusiasts the next level of performance and
unexpected maneuverability."
The Jeep Hurricane is made from lightweight yet strong and
durable material. It boasts of a functional appearance. This
vehicle holds a minimalist approach to its design and style. To
add up to its appearance, though, are the brand"s signature
features that includes a seven-slot grilles, two seats, and no doors. The interior surrounds the
occupants with an exposed carbon fiber and polished aluminum
with Black Thunder and Tiluminum accents. The whole body is also
made up of the structural carbon fiber material. The Jeep
Hurricane"s suspension and powertrain are also mounted directly
to the body. To connect the underside as well as function as a
complete skid plate system, there is an aluminum spine that runs
under this vehicle"s body. This vehicle comes with an estimated
3,850 pounds of weight. It measures some 108.1 inches of
wheelbase, a width of 80.0 inches, and a height of 68.2 inches.
It holds a five speed automatic transmission system, as well as
wheels measuring 20 x 10 inches.
If you are the type for person looking for luxury and comfort,
then the Jeep Hurricane is not the vehicle for you. It is a
vehicle that is more inclined towards total off road functions
and leans towards complete performance.
