The ultimate jeep

This is a dream jeep - the Daimler Chrysler concept Jeep Hurricane - the ultimate maneuverable machine.

There are two 5.7-liter HEMI engines in the vehicle, one each in the front and back. Both engines deliver 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque totaling 670 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque, really enough to get through any obstacles in the way. The vehicle is powerful to reach 0-60 in less than 5 seconds.

















The most striking feature of the jeep is its steering capabilities. The vehicle features a turn radius of absolutely zero, with skid steer capability and toe steer - the ability to turn both front and rear tires inward. In addition, the vehicle features two modes of automated four-wheel steering. The first is traditional with the rear tires turning in the opposite direction of the front to reduce the turning circle. The second mode is an innovation targeted to off-road drivers: the vehicle can turn all four wheels in the same direction for nimble crab steering. This allows the vehicle to move sideways without changing the direction the vehicle is pointing.
