This vintage Jeep rides on a custom chassis capable of handling the newfound colossal power
Vigilante’s Jeep Cherokee S restomod is powered by a monstrous 9.0-liter Viper V10. Delivering 825hp, the V10 is paired to a six-speed manual and an all-wheel drive system. Handling improvements include upgraded suspension and beefed-up braking systems. Have you ever looked at a classic 1979 Jeep Cherokee S and asked yourself, ‘What would happen if someone shoehorned a Dodge Viper’s V10 under the hood?’ I’ll admit, the thought had never crossed my mind.
This behemoth of an engine is coupled to a six-speed manual transmission which drives all four wheels through an Atlas-II transfer case and Dana axles both front and rear. There’s no word on how fast the overhauled SUV is, but Vigilante describes it as “the fastest vintage Jeep in the world.” We don’t doubt it. Beyond the engine and transmission, the Cherokee S benefits from four-link Eibach suspension with Fox Racing shocks to drastically improve the ride.
