It's confirmed: Jeep will bring a Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee to market by the end of 2017. Jeep CEO Mike Manley confirmed this most excellent news in a video uploaded by journalist Brian Makse.

In 2014, Jeep registered a trademark for the name "Trackhawk," which we thought pointed to a Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee SRT. The Grand Cherokee SRT is one of the most popular SRT models, so a Hellcat version would make sense.

Jeep also reportedly confirmed a Hellcat Grand Cherokee to dealers in August of last year. It reportedly said that this model will do 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, making it faster than a BMW X5M.

Our friends at Car & Driver confirmed the existence of a Hellcat Grand Cherokee in May 2015.

When asked if he could put a Hellcat motor in a Grand Cherokee, Manley responded "not only can I put a Hellcat motor in [a Grand Cherokee] for you, I'm going to bring that to market by the end of 2017."

Sadly, a Hellcat-engined Ram pickup isn't planned, which should disappoint fans of the old Ram SRT10. But Jeep-loving pickup fans can take solace in the fact that Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed a Jeep Wrangler pickup will arrive in 2017.

A tip of the hat obviously goes to the loons at Jeep, but we should also thank Brian Makse for coming right out and asking Jeep's CEO about this.

To say the least, we're very excited.
