SEMA 2007: Jeep Wrangler Ultimate Concept

Ray Wert — Wed, 23 May 2007 18:45:00 EDT

The second SEMA concept car released today by the automaker formerly known as the 'merican side of the German-American hybrid's a...Jeep. Yup, both of the concept vehicles they're showing at the moment for SEMA are Jeeps — maybe we should expect next month to see two Dodge concepts and hell, maybe even two Chrysler concepts the month after that. Talk about releasing this stuff in dribbles, eh? Well, whatever — whereas the JT concept was the meat and potatoes, the Wrangler Ultimate's meant to be like whatever goes well for dessert with meat and potatoes. Filled with more bling than any two episodes of Pimp My Ride, this concept car's still got the same underpinnings as what gave the JT concept the ability to free itself from it's Moab-ite dungeon hole. That's right, the Ultimate's got the 3-inch lift kit and 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires, but when you drop on the 18-inch aluminum wheels, you know this bad boy's meant for show. Still, it's not too shabby-looking if you ask us. We'll take one in chrome delete and maybe in a matte black finish. – Ray Wert

Bugatti Veyron, you're dead to me; 1001 supposed horsepower? 923 lb-ft of torque? Hobo numbers. Witness the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. Know it, love it, laugh at its Focus SVT headlights, but quiver in fear of its 387 cubic inch, twin-turbocharged joy-production unit. Why? How about 1,081 hp, 961 lb-ft of torque, and a ludicrous theoretical top speed of 273.75 mph. Forbes thought well enough to put it at the top of the 10 fastest American cars list because, um, it's wicked fast. Recently, SSC dropped a whole slew of new multimedia on its website, and it's giving me a warm, fuzzy feeling, like a puppy and a kitten napping in a Santa hat next to a koala cub. Dyno-run videos will do that. – Ben Wojdyla
