2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 470HP
.............................
The 5259-pound Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 reached 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, 0.5 second quicker than Jeep's claim. That's 0.3 second quicker than a 480-hp Ford Mustang Mach 1 with a six-speed manual transmission that weighed nearly 1500 pounds less. The quickest Ford Bronco we've tested was a two-door Sasquatch-equipped First Edition that reached 60 mph in 6.3 seconds with a 330-hp twin-turbo V-6. The Jeep test car was equipped with the Xtreme Recon package, too, and had 315/70 BF Goodrich K02 all-terrain tires. It raced through the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds at 104 mph and reached 110 mph in 15.0 seconds. Its top speed is governed at 112 mph.

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is powered by a 6.4-liter (392 cubic inch) V-8 that's also found in 392 versions of the Dodge Challenger, Charger, and Durango along with the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. It produces 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. Wrangler Rubicon 392 models also have a hood borrowed from the Gladiator Mojave with "392" badging and a quad-tip exhaust system. The newfound rivalry between the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco is heating up. Jeep announced that it was stuffing a 470-hp 6.4-liter V-8 into the Wrangler on the same day Ford revealed the 2021 Bronco, and more recently, Jeep added an available Xtreme Recon package that adds 35-inch tires and a 1.5-inch lift to the Wrangler to target the Bronco's available Sasquatch package. But we'll let the numbers talk for themselves, because we just tested the Wrangler 392 with the Xtreme Recon package and it should make the upcoming high-performance Bronco Raptor nervous.

Whatever kind of engine you want, the Jeep Wrangler offers it. Jeep's lucrative four-wheel-drive anachronism is available with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a naturally aspirated V-6 (with or without 48-volt hybrid assistance), a plug-in hybrid turbo four, or a turbodiesel V-6. And now, rounding out Jeep's offer-all-the-engines policy, you can get a Wrangler stuffed with a gargantuan 470-hp 6.4-liter Hemi V-8. No, Jeep didn't use the supercharged Hellcat engine. Nobody has enough life insurance for that. The resulting mutant is the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392. It's Jeep's G63. A mud-bog Maserati. It's "hold my beer" with an eye-level hood scoop. While everyone's fawning over the 2021 Ford Bronco, Jeep is clearing its throat through quad tailpipes and asking for a moment of your attention. Well, not from a Jeep production line anyway. Aftermarket companies have been cramming V-8s into Wranglers for years. Jeep itself used to offer V-8s in the Wrangler's distant ancestor, the CJ. But production Wranglers never had more than six cylinders, its V-8-powered specials relegated to Moab Easter Safari teases and SEMA show trucks. It's not like it's difficult to fit a Hemi in a Wrangler.

A 6.4-liter Wrangler is a rocket-propelled basset hound, an unlimited hydroplane tugboat, a 360-degree rotating rooftop restaurant set to 88 rpm. With top speed governed at 112 mph, so as not to test the structural integrity of the 35-inch BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, which are part of the Xtreme Recon package. While the 392 might accelerate like a C6 Corvette, it doesn't brake or corner like one. Skid pad grip measured a mere 0.70 g, and stopping from 70 mph required 218 feet—significantly longer than the 197 feet posted by the two-door Ford Bronco Sasquatch. If you’re stepping into this from a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454, you'll feel right at home.
