The powerful Scrambler 392 concept will charge through Moab with a Hemi V8 engine producing 470 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque.
It builds on the open-air legacy of the 1981 Jeep Scrambler (CJ-8), the brand’s first convertible compact truck. The concept, which features custom carbon fiber body work, sits on 40-inch tires wrapped around custom 20-inch rims.
The two-door concept started as a four-door Wrangler Rubicon.
“We changed the body style on the vehicle,” Allen said. “And the idea behind this was twofold. One, to extract more performance out of the vehicle by removing weight. And second, to create an alternative body style. It is still the 118-inch wheelbase from the Unlimited four-door, but turned into sort of a two-door short pickup truck.”
Jeep said the concept includes the new AccuAir air suspension kit developed for the Wrangler and Gladiator. That system allows an adjustable suspension lift ranging from 1.5 inches to 5.5 inches, Jeep says, and can be adjusted on the fly with an in-cab controller, or through long-range Bluetooth on a wireless device.
