AUSTRALIAN buyers have been quick to register their interest in the world’s most powerful production SUV, with Jeep already taking deposits for the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

However, Wheels has learned that an initial allocation is arriving in Australia in November and December, with demand already high for a place on the orders list.

The first Hellcat-powered model to even enter the discussion for Aussie landfall, given that both the Charger and Challenger bodies sit the driver on the wrong side, the Trackhawk has generated huge interest since its unveiling at the New York International Auto Show in January.

Powered by a 527kW 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8, the Trackhawk makes some impressive numbers, hitting 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds and demolishing the quarter mile sprint in 11.6sec at 186km/h. Top speed is limited to a largely academic 290km/h.

Get in quick, people.
