This is the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (LHD/RHD), caught showing off its HellCat engine before its rumored New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) debut.

Spotted completely uncovered, the Trackhawk will crib the styling introduced on the SRT version of the Grand Cherokee. The only visible exterior changes are an exaggerated rear diffuser, and 86’ed fog lights. Sources say to expect quad exhaust tips, but to this day, not one prototype has been spotted with them.

As seen in these exclusive shots, the Trackhawk receives the 707hp supercharged V8 HellCat, making it a competitor for vehicles such as the BMW X5 M. Enormous wheels and brakes will also help keep the fast Jeep on the road.

As the ultimate Grand Cherokee, expect the Trackhawk to start from at least $75,000 when it goes on sale late this year or early in 2018.
