January 10, 2005 Jeep dropped a showstopper at the opening of the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit today when it unveiled a radical off-road machine with TWO 5.7 litre V8 engines and a turning circle of ZERO! There are two 5.7-liter HEMI engines in the vehicle: one in the front and one in the back. Both engines deliver 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque ââ?¬â?? a total of 670 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque. Both HEMI engines in the Jeep Hurricane are equipped with the Chrysler Group Multi-Displacement System (MDS). Depending on the driverââ?¬â?¢s needs, the Hurricane can be powered by 4-, 8-, 12- or 16-cylinders. All of that translates into buckets of torque for climbing obstacles and, well having fun. On the tarmac, it has the power and traction to move from 0-60 in less than five seconds.
The design is lightweight with high strength, and it boasts functional appearance. Jeep Hurricane is an honest, minimalist approach to its design augmented with the Jeep signature seven-slot grille, two seats and no doors. On the inside, occupants will be surrounded by exposed carbon fiber and polished aluminum with Black Thunder and Tiluminum accents. Specifications: Weight (estimated): 3,850 lbs.
