Not that I'd ever be able to afford this, but damn it would be fun to drive a 707hp Jeep.
Jeep gets a Hellcat

I can't disclose my resource, but from what I've been told, you already drive like you have one! -
Overkill IMO. Where will that help off road. My X3 is pretty quick for a SUV no need for anymore.

No need for a Corvette Z06, either... Or a Bugatti Veyron... The SRTs aren't for the average person, they're race cars. Many people with the SRT vehicles take them to the dragstrips and race tracks. This is the next evolution, intended to compete with the latest models from Porsche, Range Rover, etc. Plus, there's the typical one-upmanship that the SRTs have been about for the last few years.

I agree with Whatevah. There is no "overkill" for the kind of person that would buy this class of vehicle.

If you think about it the same could be said for many of our (mine) Jeeps with the way we have them modified.
But for me, if I'm buying a performance car I wouldn't be looking at an SUV, or a pick-up truck. If I'm looking for a pick up truck, I'm getting it to use it as a truck, not something with a high HP motor and a big wing on the back (never understood where Dodge was going with that). -
Ford gave their Raptor over 500 HP. That's the rare combo of super powered engine and serious off road capability.
I think Jeep is just trying to keep up with Porsche and BMW and Land Rover. SRT8 started as a 405hp, then the competition released something faster, so they had to respond.
I guess I can see these super SUV's appealing to a successful 40+ family guy. Gives you the room and 4WD of an SUV to drive the family around, with the ability the step on the pedal and unleash hell when you have the car out by yourself.

I owned a 66 GTO. Muscle car days were priceless. To each his own.
