GeigerCars.de Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk “GULF 40”

One of the most popular raptors for falconry is the hawk. These birds of prey are popular among falconers for their docility, agility and high flying velocity – which make them superior airborne hunters: A peregrine falcon often reaches speeds of over 350 km/h during swoops. It therefore comes as no surprise that Jeep has chosen the hawk as the namesake for the ultimate top model of the Grand Cherokee series.

With 710 hp, 868 Nm torque and a top speed of 289 km/h, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is one of the fastest and most powerful series SUVs ever.

But this level of perfection has not stopped the US car specialists at GeigerCars.de in Munich – who are celebrating their 40th birthday this year – from making a few more improvements.

- The most powerful Jeep of all time

- Power increased to 900 hp/1,003 Nm

- Legendary Gulf design

Karl Geiger and his performance engineers have given the 6.2-liter HEMI V8 of the Trackhawk shown here a mighty Magnuson TVS 2650 Supercharger System to replace the standard screw compressor. The Magnuson fan raises the boost pressure from 0.8 to 1.1 bar. Fresh air flows through an open sports air filter into the eight hemispherical combustion chambers. Thanks to robust reinforcements, such as the forged piston on steel con rods, the engine hardware can easily withstand the greater forces it is subjected to. Speaking of forces: After an individual software adjustment at the performance testing station, the GeigerCars Trackhawk delivers an impressive 900 hp and its torque even breaks the 1,000 Nm mark. As for the acoustics, the cat-back valve exhaust system proudly trumpets the power gained by the Trackhawk. The top speed of the GeigerCars Trackhawk was measured at 312 km/h, making this American high-caliber bullet faster than the Lamborghini Urus or the Bentley Bentayga Speed – to name just two examples.

But that’s not all: the Trackhawk is also a real highlight when it comes to optics, where its design wrapping in the traditional Gulf colors of light blue and orange with the start number 40 gives it a truly eye-catching quality. The Gulf Trackhawk’s appearance is rounded off by 22" light alloy wheels in black, fitted with 315/30R22 rubber tires, as well as lowering springs, which reduce the ground clearance of the power SUV by 25 mm.

The GeigerCars.de Trackhawk in Gulf design can be bought as a barely-used second-hand vehicle for €129,000*.
