Dictionaries might define ‘stealthy’ as “quiet and secret in order to avoid being noticed”, but automakers and car fans alike have a very different definition of what that means.
In the world of automobiles, the term ‘stealthy’ is almost always applied to vehicles fully painted or accented in shades that bring to mind Stealth aircrafts, and which usually has the opposite effect when it comes to being noticed…
Jeep says its new Grand Cherokee SRT Night that will be unwrapped at the LA Auto Show next week “features a stealth-like appearance” and by that, it means a gloss-black finish for the roof, rear spoiler, front grille bezels, B and C pillars, and side window surrounds, and satin black for the badges, upper and lower front grilles, and the 20-inch alloys.
Exterior color options for the rest of the body include Velvet Red, Billet Silver and Granite Crystal. As for the inside, Jeep added ‘Black Laguna’ leather seats with silver accent stitching and light black chrome bezels.
No changes were made under the hood where the SRT sports 6.4-liter V8 HEMI engine capable of 475 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, for a 0-60mph (96km/h) time of 4.8 seconds, a 0-100-0 mph in 16.3 seconds, a quarter mile run in the 13-second range and a top speed of 160mph (257km/h).
