Jeep Trackhawk ‘Lucifer’ Is a Sinfully Tasty 1,000+ HP Beast
As the world’s fastest Trackhawk, this Jeep embraces its darkside with Hellcat power. Heaven help us it is so good to be so bad.
The Jeep Trackhawk has a reputation for being a savage. It rolled off the lines with a completely brutal 6.2 liter, supercharged V8 engine; yes, the same engine in Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats. It is tough, fast, and incredibly powerful. So what did the range-topping Grand Cherokee Trackhawk need? More.
At least that was the opinion of the team at NFI Empire. They wanted to take the Trackhawk further, and really unleash the devil inside. And did they ever.
Please allow me to introduce “Lucifer.” Created and built by NFI Empire, it is the ultimate high-performance, muscle Jeep. Starting with a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk with less than 100 miles on the ticker, they dove in hard.
First they needed the right engine, and the right boost.
“The Hellcat 2.4L supercharger just wasn’t going to be a big enough set of lungs for our fire breathing demon,” the say. “Instead, we ditched the factory S/C and opted for the Whipple 4.5 L, then stacked that with 40 pounds of nitrous on the baddest custom 4 bottle setup ever made.”
Bad is the operative word. And we mean that in the best sense. It is a rowdy ride that perfectly utilizes its completely custom built valvetrain and ground camshaft for premium intake and performance.
Next, they installed an L4 triple pump fuel system, 1300 series Injector Dynamics fuel injectors for full custom E85, and Ignite 114 fuel dyno tunes.
Dodge was a major force in the build. Components such as adjustable control arms, camber kit, and swaybar links, Mopar lowering springs and a BWoody suspension upgrade improves ride quality and lowers center of gravity.
You don’t get named Lucifer unless you are truly bad to the bone, and this Jeep is truly running on some hellfire. NFI made it their goal to not only produce a lot of power, but ensure the Trackhawk could handle it.
Compared to a stock Trackhawk that makes roughly 575 HP and 533 lb-ft of torque, and the 6.2 L V8 option turns out 707 horses to all four wheels. Lucifer unleashes a punishing 1,055 HP with 1,136 lb-ft of torque.
Finished with custom detailing and riding on 12″ wide Michelin Super Sports with custom billet monoblock ANRKY wheels; it is a true hellion. And we would love to see it on the drag strip; whomever takes on this monster will have the devil to pay.
