Jeep Hurricane

Jeep came out with a new concept called the jeep hurricane. This thing looks cool without giving up functionality. Chrysler (or should I say mercedes) has done a great job on this and many of you said that 2 engines, one in the front and one in the back, would be impossible but they did it.
The steering in this has to be the most radical system I have ever heard of. 0 degree turning circle!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Jeep Hurricane

^Ya saw it at the auto show it was impresive looking, but talking to the Jeep spokes man their he said it was drivable but very hard to drive because it is driven by a switch board that plugs into it. No acual use of the streering wheel or pedles.

the 2 engines are cool and the steering but i think the only people that would buy this would be hardcore off roaders

Re: Jeep Hurricane

yea this car is crazy 4 individual driveshaftes , 0-60 in under 5 seconds on 37 inchh tires thats insane. the 0 degrees turning radius is cool but not as cool and it being able to move sideways by toing all the wheels out. this car has so much badass shit its hard to know where to start
