Impressive Acceleration And Not Just For A Jeep

The Wrangler 392's powerful engine and quick-shifting transmission means this 5,098lb SUV can sprint from 0 to 60mph in only 4.2 seconds. That makes the Wrangler 392 quicker to 60mph than a Nissan Z and on par with a Mustang GT.

Now it's Jeep's turn. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition was confirmed by the automaker back in February of this year, but at the time Jeep had only revealed a plaque for the model with no further information.

Jeeps, especially Wranglers, hold value better than a lot of other cars on the market, and the already limited nature of the 392 powerplant will only add to that.
