Watch The 707-Horsepower Jeep Trackhawk At The Drag Strip

Fiat Chrysler continues to find awesome new ways to stick the 707 horsepower Hellcat Hemi in our faces, and we couldn’t be happier for that!

If you haven’t heard, the Detroit-based automaker is dropping the snarling supercharged powerplant between the fenders of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and dubbed the high horsepower family hauler the Trackhawk. With the aforementioned 707 horsepower and 645 ft/lbs of torque on tap, this is easily the most powerful production SUV available. Package the power with a great looking package-specific exterior and you’re looking at one truly badass ride that will get the kids to school in a hurry, as well as getting home from the grocery store before the ice cream even begins to get soft.

Of course, we all want to know what this thing will do in the quarter mile, especially since it’s the first factory ride to couple the supercharged Hellcat Hemi to an all-wheel-drive system, which should help with the traction issues that seem to plaque the Hellcat versions of the Challengers and Chargers. Yes, you read that correctly, the Trackhawk is AWD and should make for some ridiculous 0-60 times on the track and on the street.

In this video below, we see a sneak peek at the Trackhawk’s on-track performance when the guys from Road and Track head up to New Jersey to visit Atco Raceway, where they line up the Trackhawk with a Hellcat-swapped SRT 8, although the aftermarket-swapped SRT seems to be plagued with issues and doesn’t make a solid side-by-side run with the factory built kid hauler.

With the best ET of 11.89 in the quarter at 114 MPH, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is not too far off the numbers laid down by its passenger car counterparts, showing that the extra weight of the SUV and AWD system is pretty much canceled out by the added traction.
