Jeep Trailcat
Jeep® and Mopar Unveil Seven Concept Vehicles Built for 50th Annual Easter Jeep Safari
Jeep Trailcat: Hellcat-powered off-roader capable of crawling or high-speed runs
The Jeep Trailcat concept vehicle is the ultimate off-road machine, equally at home on Moab’s rugged trails or a high-speed section. Utilizing the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Hellcat V-8 engine, and mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with a custom shifter ball featuring an embossed Hellcat logo, the Trailcat concept vehicle leaves everything else in a cloud of dust.
To get the 707-horsepower Hellcat engine into the Trailcat, designers stretched the wheelbase an additional 12 inches while chopping the windshield two inches for a sleeker look. Mopar exterior enhancements include a power-dome vented hood, Satin Black grille, LED headlamps and fog lamps and rock rails.
The robust off-road look is further aided by steel front and rear bumpers, 17-inch beadlock wheels and 39.5-inch BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX tires, front and rear Dana 60 axles and Fox shocks.
Subtle design cues, such as a Hellcat decal on the front quarter panels and a “Trailcat” decal on the side of the hood, hint at the horsepower that lurks beneath, making this much more than a typical production Wrangler. The Trailcat’s interior is simple yet functional and features sport bucket seats from the Dodge Viper, made from carbon fiber and featuring Katzkin leather seat covers with accent stitching.

707HP and a 6-speed manual? Pardon me for a moment, I need to go change my pants.
Seriously, there is no conceivable situation in which I could make use of this thing....
....and yet I want it. Desperately.

Okay this is insane!!!
I'm sure this thing is scary as hell when you lean into the throttle and try to drive faster than 70mph. Which with that hellcat engine, you know it wants to do it.
