The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk can impress even in stock form: its supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 delivers 707 hp and sprints to 97 km/h in about 3.5 seconds. Yet in a new video from Dragy Motorsports, a far more extreme specimen steps into view—a 2018 Trackhawk reportedly making around 1,800 hp at the crank. By the numbers, that’s race-car territory, though—as tuning often shows—the real-world picture is more nuanced.

The headline benchmark enthusiasts love to compare barely moved: this SUV does 0–97 km/h in 3.42 seconds, only a shade quicker than stock. From there, however, it simply erupts: 97–210 km/h arrives in 3.77 seconds, and 160–240 km/h takes 3.62 seconds. Over the quarter mile, the timer showed 9.91 seconds with a trap speed of 257.5 km/h, and the half-mile took 14.86 seconds. There’s also a 160–320 km/h run recorded at 10.45 seconds.

In character and appearance, this Trackhawk reads less like a quick crossover and more like a dedicated drag build. The figures highlight the central truth: adding power is easier than getting it to work off the line. If the goal is a hard shove once you’re past 100 km/h, this setup nails it; if the first few meters are what matter, horsepower alone won’t solve it. On the road, that balance tends to feel calm at launch and increasingly ferocious as speed builds—rewarding, just not instant.
