Jeep has provided confirmation that the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 will be arriving this summer. Official details have yet to be announced but as Chrysler previewed last year, a bigger, beefier version of the current 6.1-liter HEMI engine is expected. This engine could be enlarged to 6.4-liters and is expected to generate more than 500hp, possibly as high as the BMW M SUVs' 555hp figure. This much power, when combined with the new 2011 Grand Cherokee's improved chassis, could just be enough for it to regain the top spot in the juiced-up SUV segment. This truck won't be complying with CAFE standards but since sales will be limited, Jeep might find this endeavor worthwhile. The truck could be seen as a practical alternative to the German and English alternatives if it is given a proper suspension setup and if it gets sufficient features.
