I'm thinking the same thing. I can wait another year or two. That'll give me more time to save money or win the lottery and pay cash. A guy can dream right?

Can't we just drop a Helliphant crate motor in their and call it a day.

If they do that they can take my money and everything I own.

Is that different than the hellcat 707hp?

I will remortgage my house for a Jeep with a helliphant engine.

 

[nag22]

[Cordless]

I just hope they keep a manual option. With a higher tow rating then the current one

If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, we all would have a Merry Christmas.

Not a fan of the “Vader Grills” but would like a 715 style grill on it. Also those fenders would be awesome, just add a single bar DRL on it like the Rugged ridge prototype fenders from Sema.

Hopefully someone will come up with a bolt on aftermarket kit
for this front end.
Hood, grille, maybe keeping the stock fenders,
I'd be one of the first in line for it.

Is this a Tach on the dash maybe?

 

[Renegade]

Weird. You would think that they would just use a black Jeep to make the hood less conspicuous, and drop the camo body sticker altogether since we know what that looks like already. Makes you wonder...

 

[RH 67]

The Alfa Romeo Ferrari derived six with 510 HP uses the same 8 speed trans as the JT. The motor is light and has tons of torque and insane power. This would be the most logical step for a high performance option and keeps the weight the same as it is now. Also with the right exhaust it sounds unlike any other six and sounds better than some V8`s.

 

[calicorks]

Could this just be the diesel, and the hood looks like that for better cooling? I’d think that would come out before any 500+ hours power. They always save the best for last. Although if a v8 came out, I’d be first in line to buy!
