Jeep has dropped more info on the Wrangler Ultimate concept which we first saw last May along with the JT Concept (Wrangler pickup – click here) at the Chrysler Proving Ground. Based on the four door 2008 Wrangler Unlimited, the SEMA Show concept is equipped with a Chrysler’s 6.4-liter (392 cu.i) V8 Hemi crate engine. Though Jeep hasn’t specified which of the three available 392 Hemi engines has been chosen for the Ultimate, we’re guessing it’s the 525 Hp strong fuel injected version. Engine aside, the concept also features an enhanced suspension with a 3-in. lift to fit the immense 35-in. BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires mounted on 18-in. alloys, chromed exterior details, Nappa leather interior and a multimedia infotainment system. -Details and high res images after the jump
PRESS RELEASE: The Jeep Wrangler Ultimate with 392 HEMI® from Mopar
Designer: Mark Allen, Chief Designer – Jeep/Dodge Truck Studios
The name says it all.
The Jeep Wrangler Ultimate with 392 HEMI from Mopar is a concept vehicle that answers the question "how far can you go with the new Jeep Wrangler?" Beginning with the all-new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon®, the design team set out to create the best of the best – combining high style and materials with the best off-road machine ever offered by Jeep.
The suspension is enhanced with a 3-in. lift to clear the massive 35-in. BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires mounted on custom, polished Alcoa Forged 18-in. wheels. The exterior is chromed out courtesy of Mopar:
fuel filler door
taillamp guards
tubular side steps
exterior mirrors
tow hooks
door handles
hood hinges
fascia overlays
To complete the look, the exterior is coated in a wildly experimental 'Liquid Charcoal Pearl Coat' paint.
The Wrangler Ultimate's real story is its interior. Taking cues from rugged adventure sports bags and accessories, the team created a high style and detailed interior compartment that is as tough and beautiful as the exterior. Seating surfaces are clad in durable orange mesh fabric and dark slate gray Nappa/Province leather – bound with a heavy black-leather baseball stitch. Instrument panel details are treated to a stunning Argent Pearl/Satin Silver paint combination, reinforcing the machine character for which Jeep is known. The interior is also home to the exclusive MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System. There are also DVD screens for passengers in the front and rear.
To provide authentic performance on the trail, the team also dropped in a 392 HEMI crate motor.
