What's in a name? Turns out, somewhat alot. The Jeep Wrangler Ultimate with 392 HEMI from Mopar is a concept vehicle built to answer a question asking to what extreme the Wrangler can be taken. The Design team, headed by Mark Allen, began with a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon in creating a car as stylish as it is of high quality, all the while building upon Jeep's best-ever off-road vehicle.

Driven by their philosophy to demonstrate the Wrangler's 'Designed for Customisation' nature, the car has received a number of modifications to take it within reach of SEMA, where it will be on show at Las Vegas from 30th October to 2nd November and later be shown around the US.

Ride height has been increased by 3 inches to the suspension, allowing for the installation of custom, polished 'Alcoa Forged' 18-inch alloy wheels and 35-inch 'Mud Terrain' tires. Chrome is splashed about the Wrangler Ultimate concept with the car's side steps, door handles and hinges, side mirrors and rear light guards being among the features gaining the treatment. The chrome is set off by what Jeep call a 'wildly experimental' paint job, named 'Liquid Charcoal Pearl Coat'.

Cabin enhancements are as 'tough and beautiful as the exterior', with the interior designed to mimic the inate style and detail of 'rugged adventure sports bags and accessories'. Orange mesh fabric and dark slate grey Nappa/Province leather seats are finished with a heavy black-leather stitch, while the dashboard reinforces Jeep's machined character through a combination of Argent Pearl and Satin Silver paints. DVD screens for passengers front and rear as well as the exclusive MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System are fitted.

A 6.4-litre HEMI engine, the 392, provides authentic performance 'on the trail' and off it.

The Jeep Wrangler Ultimate with 392 HEMI from Mopar is a concept vehicle that answers the question “how far can you go with the new Jeep Wrangler?” Beginning with the all-new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon®, the design team set out to create the best of the best – combining high style and materials with the best off-road machine ever offered by Jeep.

The suspension is enhanced with a 3-in. lift to clear the massive 35-in. BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires mounted on custom, polished Alcoa Forged 18-in. wheels. The exterior is chromed out courtesy of Mopar:

  • fuel filler door
  • taillamp guards
  • tubular side steps
  • exterior mirrors
  • tow hooks
  • door handles
  • hood hinges
  • fascia overlays

To complete the look, the exterior is coated in a wildly experimental ‘Liquid Charcoal Pearl Coat’ paint.

The Wrangler Ultimate’s real story is its interior. Taking cues from rugged adventure sports bags and accessories, the team created a high style and detailed interior compartment that is as tough and beautiful as the exterior. Seating surfaces are clad in durable orange mesh fabric and dark slate gray Nappa/Province leather – bound with a heavy black-leather baseball stitch. Instrument panel details are treated to a stunning Argent Pearl/Satin Silver paint combination, reinforcing the machine character for which Jeep is known. The interior is also home to the exclusive MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System. There are also DVD screens for passengers in the front and rear.

To provide authentic performance on the trail, the team also dropped in a 392 HEMI crate motor.
