2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 vs. 2011 BMW X5 M vs. 2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
We'll call them Super SUVs -- SuperUVs for brevity: the 555-horsepower BMW X5 M, 500-horsepower Porsche Cayenne turbo, and 465-horsepower Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. We wanted find out if these top-tier SUVs can comfortably travel at entertaining and demanding velocities with hefty loads and all seats filled, so we hooked up flatbed trailers and drove them to Willow Springs International Raceway.

2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 - First Test
It wouldn't be surprising for the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 to show up wearing an American flag like a cape, bald eagle at the helm with smoke pouring out of the rear wheel wells and fireworks exploding overhead. This is pure American muscle.

Track Time: The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 tears up the race track
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 was not originally designed to be a track car...in fact far from it. But for 2012 the Chrysler engineers at the SRT group took this very capable off-road car and transformed it into a track worthy ride.

2012 Jeep Cherokee SRT8 vs Toyota Yaris 0-60-0 MPH Performance Mashup Test
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Jeep Cherokee SRT8 and the 2012 Toyota Yaris have very little in common except for perhaps that they both have four wheels and an engine. One is designed to be the ultimate HEMI powered all-wheel-drive jeep and cost about 65K with every possible luxury feature while the other one is a small efficient car that good good on gas mileage. So naturally we decided to put them to the test against each other in another TFLcar 0-60-0 MPH Performance Mashup Test. If you are curious about how fast each car can get from 0-60-0 MPH as well as our current car leader board...just check out this mashup video.
► 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
http://www.youcar.tv
Designed and built using the proven SRT formula that raises the performance to astonishing levels, the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 runs from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the mid-16 second range, can cover the quarter mile in the mid-13 second range, has a top speed of 160 mph, and brakes from 60-0 mph in 116 feet.
Powering the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is Chrysler Group's all-new 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology that delivers 470 horsepower (351 kW) and 465 (630 N•m) lb.-ft. of torque -- an improvement of 50 horsepower and 45 lb.-ft. torque over the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces.
An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing delivers maximum low-end torque while optimizing high-end power across a wider and improved rpm band. Specifically, 90-percent of peak torque is available between 2,800 and 6,000 rpm, allowing for inspired standing starts and improved straight-line performance.
Standard Fuel Saver Technology and a new-for-2012 active valve Exhaust system allows four-cylinder operation to engage over a wider rpm range, to deliver both improved fuel efficiency -- a 13-percent increase on the highway -- and an extended range of 450 miles on one tank of gas.
Standard steering wheel mounted paddle shifters join the standard Auto Stick on the floor. Both are mated to a proven automatic transmission, allowing a choice of spirited shifting on the road and the race track. Both methods give the driver the ability to shift while the transmission controller calibration prevents situations that might over rev the engine. Fully adaptive electronic control of all shifting makes the powertrain more responsive while minimizing harshness.
Chrysler Group's SRT vehicles are well known for their world-class braking. Stopping power for the 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8 comes courtesy of new SRT high-performance Brembo brakes with four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS).
Stopping distance performance of 116 feet from 60-0 mph is made possible by new red-painted, Brembo 6-piston (front) and 4-piston (rear) calipers, and vented rotors at all four corners measuring 15-inches (front) and 13.8-inches (rear).
2012 BMW X5 M Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour
In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2012 BMW X5 M. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this suv while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this suv designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
Thanks a lot to Hendrick BMW in Charlotte, NC for allowing me to film this video! For more info on this vehicle as well as others visit www.hendrickbmw.com
