Once upon a time, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 laid claim to being the fastest SUV on the planet, offering 0-60 times of under five seconds and a top speed in excess of 155 mph. Since then, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5 M and X6 M have nabbed the title away.
Jeep doesn�t look to be content with that scenario, however, and our sources within the company have confirmed that a new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is in the works and could be on sale by the first half of next year.
The prototype seen here was caught testing alongside a BMW X5 M SUV and this is clearly the rival that Jeep is targeting most. Like the previous generation, the new SRT8 model will resemble the regular Grand Cherokee on which it�s based but will adopt a more aggressive design for its front fascia. A lowered ride height and beefier brakes will also feature.
