The eight-cylinder Jeep Wrangler will not remain a concept

“Some concepts are so powerful that they will become a reality,” reads Jeep’s social networks, which confirms that it will introduce a serial version of the Wrangler Rubicon 392 concept next year.

It is mainly characterized by the engine used, an eight-cylinder with a displacement of 6.4 liters. It has 456 horsepower and 610 Nm of maximum torque to accelerate to 60 mph (97 km / h) in less than five seconds.

In addition to the already rich off-road equipment of the Rubicon version, which includes a reduction gearbox and front and rear differential lock, the Dana 44 and 37 ”off-road tires received more durable axles.

The concept was also equipped with a winch on the front bumper, a hood with an opening for air access and a solid roof with a canvas folding middle part. Standard doors also replaced the half without windows.

The original reports said that the obstacles to the installation of a large eight-cylinder were crash tests, but these were apparently successfully completed internally. In its history, the iconic Jeep had an eight-cylinder under the hood, but at that time it was not yet called the Wrangler, but the CJ-7. Until 1981, it had a five-liter under the hood from AMC with an output of 127 horsepower and 295 Nm
