CHICAGO AUTO SHOW: FEB 06 Media Preview

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

06 February 2005: Jeep’s Hurricane concept must be the most maneuverable and powerful 4x4 ever built. Equipped with two 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engines: one in the front and one in the back, there was a total of 670 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque available on demand. Two modes of automated four-wheel steering were used, first, the traditional with rear tires turning in the opposite direction of the front. A second mode turned all four-wheels in the same direction for nimble crab-like steering. With 14.3 inches of ground clearance, and 37-inch tall tires, there wasn’t much that the Hurricane couldn’t climb. The black one-piece structural carbon fiber body also formed the chassis, plus suspension and power train were mounted directly to the body. Chrysler Group Multi-Displacement System (MDS) enabled the Hurricane to alternate between 4-, 8-, 12- or 16-cylinders and clock 0-60 mph in less than five-seconds.

First staged in 1901, the Chicago Auto Show is the largest auto show in North America and has been held more times than any other auto exposition on the continent. It has been presented by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) since 1935. It is held at McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois
