The SUV Jeep claims to be the world's fastest accelerating and most powerful (although Tesla's Model X may have something to say about it) is coming to Australia with Fiat Chrysler Australia CEO, Steve Zanlunghi confirming the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk will be on sale here by Christmas.
Armed with a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 'Hemi' engine, the Trackhawk packs a colossal 527kW/874Nm with Jeep claiming a 0-100km/h sprint time of 3.6sec and a top speed of 290km/h.
That makes the Trackhawk not only the most powerful SUV on the planet but the third most powerful new vehicle in Australia. Only the Lamborghini Aventador and the Ferrari F12 are able to out-grunt it.
"I'm very excited to confirm that the Trackhawk will officially join the new Grand Cherokee range," Zanlunghi said.
"From the moment it was revealed in New York we knew we had to bring it to Australia. Public interest in the Trackhawk has been incredible – barely a day goes by when I'm not asked if it's coming. Now I can confirm it."
"The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk will be on sale in Australia in December, and it will shatter performance SUV benchmarks."
"Australia is the second biggest market for our 344kW Grand Cherokee SRT, behind the USA – so we're confident Australians will absolutely love the Trackhawk which has even more of what makes the SRT so popular – a lot more!"
Zanlunghi said pricing has not been finalised. The current top of the range Grand Cherokee SRT lists for $91,000.
