Jeep Hurricane Concept News ** That thing got a HEMI? Yeah, it's got 2!**

Since I was a Jeeper just a little while back... just wanted to post some exciting news about the new Jeep Hurricane concept for anyone who cares:





"There are two 5.7-liter HEMI engines in the vehicle: one in the front and one in the back. Both engines deliver 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque – a total of 670 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque."

I hope someone does a version of the Warthog from the HALO game. This thing looks close to it.

Jeep Hurricane concept

Engine: Two 5.7-liter Hemi V-8s
Horsepower: Combined 670 hp
Height: 68.2 inches
Width: 80.0 inches
Length: 151.8 inches

What the automaker says: "Jeep Hurricane is simply the most maneuverable, most capable and most powerful 4x4 ever built."
What you should know: This is what would happen if you took a zero-turning radius law mower and bolted a couple of Hemi V-8s into it. A central transfer case sends the power from one engine to the left-side wheels and power from the other engine to the right-side wheels. The downward rotation of the prop shafts helps apply more downforce to all the wheels, Jeep says.

Production possibility: This is a technology skunk-works. All of the technology is functional and the company holds a number of patents obtained during the vehicle's development, Jeep says.
