Next Jeep Wrangler To Get 300 HP Turbo 4 Hurricane?

They were told the 2.0-liter aluminum-block engine, named the Hurricane internally, may be able to produce around 300 horsepower thanks to its use of direct fuel-injection, variable valve timing, and a twin-scroll turbocharger.Way back in 2014, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, FCA revealed their plans to use the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and CEO Sergio Marchionne himself has made a similar hint. This pairing would significantly increase fuel economy and become the fuel saving engine option in the next generation Wrangler.Currently, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 Wrangler paired with a five-speed automatic transmission is able to 285 horsepower with an EPA rating of 17/21 mpg city/highway. The new Wrangler JL will be an improvement in both power and fuel economy.Once development of the engine is complete, it will most likely be produced in FCAs Trenton Engine Complex which has been allotted a $75 million investment last month.
