Jeep - Hurricane





The two seats, no doors interior surrounds the occupants with an exposed carbon fiber and polished aluminum. The suspension and powertrain are mounted directly to the body. It measures some 108.1 inches of wheelbase, a width of 80.0 inches, and a height of 68.2 inches. It holds a five speed automatic transmission system, as well as wheels measuring 20 x 10 inches. The Hurricane 14.3 inches of ground clearance, 20 inches of suspension travel, and incredible approach/departure angles of 64.0 /86.7 degrees makes it not the most comfortable and luxurious off road vehicle, but the most functional one.

The second thing that makes this car so perfect is its engine, actually engines. Yes, the Jeep Hurricane is powered by two real American muscle 5.7-liter HEMI engines, one in the front and one in the back. Those two engines generate a total of 670 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque. Depending on the driver’s needs the Hurricane the engines are using 16, 12, 8 or 4 cylinders.


that offers the best performance and maneuverability. This marvel of engineering offers a multiple steering modes using four-wheel independent steering, that means that each wheel can turn separately from the others. In the standard steering mode, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels, which tightens the turning radius and makes for more accurate steering. In the second mode, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels The third and maybe the most exceptional feature of the Hurricane is the steering system, meaning the Hurricane can move to the side without changing the direction that it faces. The third mode, utilizing the "T-Box Zero Steer" mechanism, allows all four wheels to "toe-in" and changes the drive direction to each wheel so that they alternate making the Hurricane to rotate in place.

Jeep - Renegade






Hey guys its time to know about a sporty product of Jeep. Its going to be about Renegade… The Jeep Renegade concept vehicle is a sporty, “minimised” two-seater ideally suited for the all-weather fun of dune-surfing or rock-crawling.The advanced propulsion system in the Jeep Renegade concept starts with a 40-mile range lithium-ion battery pack. A range extender – in Renegade’s case, a 1.5-litre BLUETEC diesel engine – allows for journeys up to 400 miles. Jeep Renegade’s BLUETEC diesel engine generates an additional 115 horsepower when needed, while greatly reducing exhaust emissions when compared to standard petrol engines. Renegade is capable of achieving an equivalent petroleum fuel economy of 110 miles per gallon, which is four-to-five times greater than an equivalent petrol-only vehicle. The Jeep Renegade concept is designed for cross-country fun and agility and with an additional electric motor powering each axle, the Jeep Renegade boasts a very capable 4x4 system – complete with low range and locking differentials — worthy of carrying the Jeep name. Thus surely Jeep Renegade is a nice one to know about…
