1,800-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk posts 9.91s quarter-mile on Dragy

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a challenge to physics even in stock form: its supercharged 6.2‑liter Hellcat V8 makes 707 hp, and the SUV reaches 97 km/h in roughly 3.5 seconds. A recent Dragy Motorsports video, however, showcases a far more radical take—a 2018 Trackhawk said to deliver about 1,800 hp at the crank. On paper, that’s already brushing up against drag-racing territory; in practice, builds like this always run into the same hurdle: putting the power down off the line.

According to SPEEDME.RU, this monster’s 0–97 km/h benchmark hasn’t moved dramatically: 3.42 seconds, only a hair quicker than stock. But after 100 km/h it effectively turns into a catapult. The 97–210 km/h surge takes 3.77 seconds, and 160–240 km/h falls in 3.62 seconds. Over the quarter-mile, the timers show 9.91 seconds with a 257.5 km/h trap, and the half-mile is covered in 14.86 seconds. There’s also a noted 160–320 km/h run in 10.45 seconds—numbers more commonly tied to prepped race projects than to a family SUV.

Overall, this Trackhawk doesn’t come across as the outright fastest crossover so much as a purpose-built drag setup, tuned to shine at medium and high speeds. The stopwatch tells the real story: the launch is still traction-limited, but the mid-range hits hard and just keeps pulling.
