No strangers to off-road adventures, Jeep is back! Today Jeep returns with something special, showing off the latest edition of the Wrangler Rubicon. Today we get our first look at Jeep Reveals The V8 Wrangler Rubicon 392 Concept. This marks the first V8-powered “real” Jeep since 1981, coming to life as an all-terrain-tackling 4×4 Wrangler. This time around, Jeep went rugged and utilitarian, showcasing its off-roading capabilities in the process.
The Jeep comes rocking a “392” V8 engine, which translates to 6.4-liters. This provides the SUV 450 BHP and 450 lb-ft. of torque, as well as a 0-60 MPH time of less than five seconds. Jeep also claims that the concept has an “unmatched 4×4 capability.” This capability comes from a full-time two-speed transfer case, electric front-and-rear-axle lockers, 37-inch mud-terrain tires, and a Jeep Performance Parts two-inch factory lift kit.
The model even boasts half-doors, tow hooks, a retractable roof, a full-sized spare wheel on the rear, steel bumpers with a Warn winch, and a steel belly pan. Tough, reliable, powerful, and eye-catching; what more do you want? While there is no word on whether Jeep will make the concept a reality, however, they are gauging clients’ interest.
