Bespoke Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8s for F1 Stars Alonso and Massa

The first two Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8s in Europe have been delivered to two very special owners: Scuderia Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Filipe Massa were each presented with one of the 468hp, V8-powererd SUVs at the Fiorano circuit in Maranello, Italy this week.

Both vehicles have been specially customised with Rosso Corsa paint, contrasting black detailing, red leather interiors and numerous more subtle tributes to the Ferrari F150º Formula One car. To complete the look, the ride height has been lowered by more than 3cm and both vehicles ride on unique, forged aluminium, 20-inch black wheels.

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, which is powered by a 468hp, 624Nm, 6.4-litre HEMI V8, can scorch from 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds, has a top speed of 257km/h and can brake from 100km/h to a halt in just 35m. The flagship SUV is set to arrive in European Jeep dealerships starting in May but there are no plans for RHD production at this time.
