Hennessy Performance Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

Hennessey Performance sent us a surprise for the holidays with this 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 package. Under the hood is a Hennessey HPE800 Twin Turbo engine kit that was hooked up to the bored out factory 6.4-liter HEMI V8. Displacement is now at 7.0-liters, allowing the large twin turbochargers to put down 805 horsepower and 823 lb-ft of torque. A huge increase from the stock 465 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. At the track, the modified Jeep Grand Cherokee now sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, which is damn good for a full-size SUV.

Marangoni Range Rover Evoque HFI-R

We have a ton of pictures for you of the Marangoni Range Rover Evoque HFI-R. The first thing that jumps out are the red Marangoni tires, but the brunette model spices it up even more. We’re surprised that colored tires have not yet gained popularity among tuners. Maybe because they are hard to keep looking new, or the fact that they are more expensive then regular rubber. These M-Power EvoRed high performance tires are made of a special compound with high silica content that is said to improve fuel consumption as well. The ones you see here were stretched on a new set of O.Z. Racing 20-inch alloy rims measuring 255/30R20.
