Jeep CEO promises Grand Cherokee Hellcat 'before the end of 2017'
In one of the worst kept secrets in the auto industry, Jeep has confirmed that the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat is coming. The news comes from Vvuzz, which has Jeep CEO Mike Manley on camera confirming the monstrous SUV.
Manley confirmed that the Jeep, which we hope will offer the same 707-horsepower version of Chrysler's 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 as the Dodge Challenger and Charger, will arrive before the end of 2017. This, friends, is grand news.
By the time the Grand Cherokee Hellcat arrives, it'll be faced with an array of high-performance challengers from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and Porsche. But, if things stay the way they are with the competition and SRT engineers can bring the Hellcat engine's full output to bear on an all-wheel-drive platform, the Grand Cherokee will have a power advantage ranging from 130 to 157 hp. It's one thing to best the competition by a dozen horsepower, it's entirely different to outgun them by an entire Toyota Corolla.
Expect much more on the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat in the coming months. Scroll on to see Manley confirm the news.

If they use the same transmission as the current one on the SRT8 (Which is what I heard), it will cause a lot of problems, I have read a lot of Jeep SRT owners having problem with such tranny.

Are you sure that's coming from 2014+ SRT8 owners? The ZF 8HP70 is used in a wide variety of vehicles without problems...
