Caution: you are entering a pragmatism-free zone. If you’ve never used your Big Bertha driver for an approach shot on a par three, or you’ve never shot a grouse with a grenade launcher, then there’s a real chance you won’t understand the new range-topper of Jeep’s Grand Cherokee SUV line-up.
Feel free to sniff, mutter something about “pointless wanker-mobile”, and turn the page. We’ll understand.
For the rest of you, here’s the Trackhawk in a nutshell: it’s the world’s fastest, most powerful, most extreme SUV. It promises no real off-road ability, yet despite the ‘Track’ part of the name, it’s too heavy to deliver consistent lap times on a circuit. It’s ridiculously over-powered for regular road use. It sits here, squatting on its vast haunches, almost daring the haters to troll it on social media.
But here’s the Trackhawk’s counter-punch: in a world where every new car needs an absurd, unachievable fuel consumption sticker glued to its bland forehead, the Trackhawk scoffs. It flexes, its veins pop, and it sprays its high octane man-juice into the air. It’s unashamedly unhinged, yet superbly well-engineered and almost absurdly seductive in how it sounds, and goes.
