One such upgrade called the HPE800 Twin Turbo was developed for the new generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 who's 6.4 litre Hemi engine was increased to 7.0-litres (426 cubic inches) and received a twin-turbo forced induction system.
Due to these measures the American SUV is now producing an impressive 805 bhp and 823 lb-ft of torque, figures which enable the HPE800 to rocket from nought to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds.
Other modifications performed on the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 HPE800 include an upgraded transmission system, 15.1 inch Brembo brakes, a lowered sport suspension and a carbon fiber front splitter.
On the inside the HPE800 features a custom leather treatment and a steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara, and the Texas based tuner said their program will only address 24 exemplars.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 HPE800 carries a 235,000 USD price tag.
