I for one hope it does not look like that. Way too much going on. The aftermarket has been riced across the board. Liberty walk exotics. White walls on SRT Jeeps. Tacky body kits. They need to keep it clean and aggressive. The front of the Charger Hellcat was extremely well done. Elegant and aggressive. Let the JDM ghetto moders add all the extra crap for Instagram likes.

 

To be honest, I don't think body style wise they will really do anything. As IMO the platforms now really have no different structures over or across the trim lines. The wk1 platforms incorporated a direct attempt to separate over the non SRT trim.

Very little body style appearance other then suttle esoteric type cues IMO (other then proformance) are put forth in the new styles. Really only so much you can do with out changing the platform vs cost and build line manufacturing.

Unless since they are separating from the whole "SRT/Hellcat" name branding and want to put forth a new design with name branding rather then piggybacking (doubt it) the cost upgrades will just be in the drivetrain and rebadged "Hellcat" motor. So if anything body kit styles will be added (grill, dampers) maybe even exclusive color code no options --- factory flat paint now more need to wrap, or dare I say adept candy factory color? No chance

 

^ The are more exterior differences with the WK2 SRT versus the base WK2 than there are with the WK1 SRT and Base SRT. I'm referring to the 14+


WK2 SRT - Front Bumper, Headlights, Grill, Side Skirts, Fender Flares, Wheels, Rear Bumper, Tail Lights (8 differences)
WK1 SRT - Front Bumper, Grill, Side Skirts, Wheels, Rear Bumper (5 differences)

The exhaust is part of the bumper so that only counts as 1 difference.

 

Can we count brakes? can we akon?

 

Yes I agree that all the people in the know, know the difference, but it is like Viking said, it's the people that don't know any better. Oh don't forget the suspension difference too on both platforms probably, but the WK1 is noticeably lower than other trims also. Ask my front bumper how I know.......

Latest render....I'm not a fan

 

Still not it.

 

I can't edit my post^^^, on tapatalk?

Render based off spy photo of legit Trackhawk bumper

 

that front bumper is horrid. hopefully a regular srt bumper can bolt on with not much work.

 

I would love to get ride of these problematic front lights. Constantly having issues with led burning out and fog lights falling into the bumper and burning out. That rendering looks hideous compared to the actual bumper

 

No way that second rendering is correct

 

It's funny how everyone is focusing on the front end. Can we give the rear some attention to0 and spice it up a little.

I like a girl with a pretty face but her ass should be hot too.

 

This. So much this.

It won't let me edit my post. I forgot to say, there will be no need for the Hellcat to tow. You have the base SRT for that.

So someone will have to buy 2 if they want to have a Hellcat AND tow? I doubt it.

 

1. I'm not touchy. (that sounded touchy). Most of the attacks are WK1 against WK2. I saw an opening to address an issue and went with it.
2. The 12-13 SRT was very hard to recognize. The 14+ is quite easy in any color other than black, from any direction. The black grill surround is largely responsible for this.

For the record, I'm 51.263% sure the 2018 Hellcat motored SRT Jeep will have center exhaust. I say this because it's confirmed there will be 2 tiers. I hate this but oh well. The new bumper we see spied is for the 2017 SRT Jeep, whatever it is called. The "hellcat Jeep" will hopefully have more to differentiate it. I'd venture to say both the updated SRT and the Hellcat SRT will benefit from the alleged 500lb weight savings...one would hope at least. It's also been rumored the 6.4 will be churning out 495 HP..I think, could have been a different number

There's a point where enough is enough. The hellcat is an all out performance machine. If you want to tow, be happy with the 495 hp offered and stfu!

Absolutely no reason whatsoever for the hellcat to tow.

I agree - the WK1 SRT was a prime example of this

 

I honestly don't care about towing, we never tow and if we had to we have 2 or 3 vehicles that are capable. I would honestly also vote for a centered exhaust like on the wk1 only to get some more SEXXINESS out of the rear end. Got to agree with a-kon on enough is enough, it's like us complaining that there don't fit enough groceries in our Mclaren P1 (not that we have a P1 (yet) lol).

 

Pretty sure majority of people trying to get into one of these aren't looking to tow with it.......

If I could afford one, I can tell you for a fact it wouldn't be for its towing capabilities.

You never know when you might have to lay the smack down with your John Deere tractor I'm tow

 

I love that video

 

Pfffff. .... nothing sexier than a 700+ HP supercharged srt jeep pulling out of a lake with a 100k toy..... just saying. Complete sex machine.... the thumbs up you get when you have toys behind is priceless. Have other vehicles I can town with.... but who the hell wants to tow with those... just not as cool... you guys don't understand. Must be one of those... you have to do it to know... LOL

 

Talked to my dealership manager the other day and he said the Trackhawk will definitely be over $100k after all fees and dealership markup and such. One will not sell under $100k, even if MSRP is $90k like other rumors state.

 

**** dealer markups and the dealers who use them. I guarantee there will be dealers who don't play that game.

 

On trackhawk website they had a build and price link. I tries it and didn't get that far.

 

Say what? What website?

 

Probably an empty link for future use, which would eventually take the user to Jeep's website

 

Someone spotted this yesterday doing some road testing. Not sure where though
