MOST POWERFUL JEEP VEHICLE EVER – 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 6.4L Hemi
MOST POWERFUL JEEP VEHICLE EVER
LEGENDARY JEEP CAPABILITY, BUT BETTER
The most powerful Jeep ever from runs from 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 155mph and brakes from 60-0mph in 116 feet, for an outstanding driving performance in all conditions. An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing delivers maximum low-end torque while optimizing high-end power across a wider and improved rpm band. 90-percent of peak torque is available between 2,800 and 6,000 rpm, for improved straight-line performance.
HEAD-TURNING SRT PERFORMANCE
The Grand Cherokee SRT8 takes capability to a new level by giving driving enthusiasts extreme performance on street and track. The all-new 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology delivers an estimated 465 horsepower and 465 lb – ft of torque.
BEST HANDLING JEEP VEHICLE EVER
SUPERIOR DRIVING PERFORMANCE IN ANY CONDITION
Drivers can automatically choose between five dynamic modes for specific driving conditions.
A SMOOTHER, MORE CONTROLLED RIDE
Electronic Limited Slip Differential gives drivers more control on the road by improving handling and eliminating rear wheel slip. Revised gearing gives a more direct feel and on-center response, while cruising on new split 5-spoke, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels ride on P295/45ZR20 Pirelli PZero run-flat tires (standard All-season or available Three-season).
OUTSTANDING RIDE, HANDLING AND CAPABILITY
Engineers have improved handling even further. The SRT8 features a new SRT-tuned, adaptive damping suspension managed by the new Jeep Selec-Track system that interacts with multiple systems, including stability control, adaptive damping, transmission shift strategy, Electronic Limited Slip Differential performance, throttle control and cylinder de-activation.
BRAKE-THROUGH PERFORMANCE
The SRT8 comes from a line already known for world-class, outstanding braking. Stopping power for the 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8 comes courtesy of new SRT high-performance Brembo brakes with four-wheel anti-lock brake system. Stopping distance performance of 116 feet from 60-0mph is made possible by the new, red-painted, Brembo 6-piston (front) and 4-piston (rear) calipers, with vented rotors at all four corners.
LUXURIOUS RACE-INSPIRED INTERIOR
HEAD TURNING RACING STYLE
Drive in style, in the new SRT-styled Nappa leather and suede seats, with sculpted bolsters and adjustable headrests, providing all the comfort needed for daily drivers, and “grip” to keep the driver and passengers in place during the more spirited excursions. Carbon fiber accents are integrated into the instrument panel and door trim panels, and new bright, racing style brake and pedal pads add to the high-performance look inside the cabin. The embroidered SRT logos and contrast stitching accent the two front seats.
STYLE WITH FUNCTION
The refined, luxurious interior takes on a performance feel in SRT8 form with an all-new, leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel with a unique rim section and flattened bottom surface – evoking a race inspired cockpit showcasing the SRT logo. Standard paddle-shift controls flank both sides of the new contoured palm rests with accessible Vehicle Electronic Information Center controls accessible from the horizontal spokes on the steering wheel.

Green with Envy 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 392
Ever wonder what a SRT-8, Or SRT-8 392 means?
Here is the Wiki Chrysler_Hemi Link
Chrysler displayed a larger 6.4 L (392 cu in) Hemi in 2005 with output 525 horsepower (391 kW) and 510 lb·ft (691 N·m) torque. It is based on an iron 6.1 L engine block with aluminium alloy pistons.[8] In late 2009 Chrysler has said the new engine will be available in the next generation SRT8 Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300C and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Special-edition Challengers equipped with this engine, and the engines themselves, will bear “392 HEMI” badging in commemorative reference to the first-generation Hemi engine 
of the same piston displacement.[9][10][11] In other applications, the engine is badged as “6.4L HEMI”.[12]
The production version of the 392 Hemi was launched in the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with variable camshaft timing as well as MDS in cars with automatic transmissions. Output is 475 hp (354 kW) and 460 lb·ft (624 N·m).[13][14] Availability of the 6.4 is to expand to the Chrysler 300SRT8 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.
Since 2007, a crate version has been available under the name 392 Hemi.[14]
Now see what it looks like!
The Chrysler Hemi engine, known by the trademark Hemi, is a series of V8 engines built by Chrysler with a hemispherical combustion chamber. Three different types of hemi engines have been built by 
Chrysler for automobiles: the first (known as the Chrysler FirePower engine) from 1951–1958, the second from 1964–1971, and the third beginning in 2003. Although Chrysler is most identified with the use of Hemi as marketing term, many other auto manufacturers have incorporated similar designs.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Chrysler also used the Hemi name for their Australian-made Hemi-6 engine and applied it to the 4-cylinder Mitsubishi 2.6L engine they installed in various front-drive vehicles in the North American market.
A hemispherical (i.e., bowl-shaped) combustion chamber allows the valves of a two valve-per-cylinder engine to face each other across the chamber, rather than opening side-by-side. This creates more space in the combustion chamber roof for the use of larger valves and also straightens the airflow passages through the cylinder head. This creates what is known as a cross-flow head, where the intake charge flows directly across the chamber to the exhaust valve located directly opposite it. These features significantly improve the engine’s airflow capacity, which can result in relatively high power output from a given piston displacement. But the design can also significantly increase the flow of incompletely combusted air-fuel mixture straight out of the exhaust valve. 
With a hemi combustion chamber, there is minimal quench and swirl to burn the fuel-air mix thoroughly and quickly; the spark plug is frequently located at or near the centroid of the chamber to facilitate complete combustion. Hemispherical combustion chambers, because of their lack of quench, are more sensitive to fuel octane rating; a 
given compression ratio will require a higher octane rating to avoid ping in a hemi engine than in a wedge engine.[citation needed] Engines with hemispherical combustion chambers often use dome-topped pistons to attain the desired compression ratio.
The hemi head usually has intake and exhaust valve stems that point in different directions, requiring a large, wide cylinder head and complex rocker arm geometry in both cam-in-block and overhead cam engines. This adds to the overall width of the engine, limiting the vehicles it can be installed in.
