Live Pics: Jeep 4SPEED Concept

[JAY]

Enjoy a live look at the Jeep 4SPEED Concept.

Details:

Light, quick and nimble, the Jeep 4SPEED concept is the latest in a line of lightweight Easter Jeep Safari concepts. Built “4SPEED,” this latest lightweight concept, following the popular Pork Chop concept in 2011 and Stitch concept in 2013, bolsters Wrangler’s off-road capability and performance through extensive weight savings, and showcases the all-new 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine.

On the exterior, the Jeep 4SPEED concept features custom weight saving measures including a carbon fiber hood, high-clearance carbon fiber fender flares and a carbon fiber rear tub with perforated aluminum panels. The 4SPEED concept boasts a sleek side profile courtesy of a raked windshield, elongated door openings and an aggressively swept back custom cage. The rear of the concept utilizes custom, lightweight bodywork, and because of the combined weight savings, 4SPEED’s ride height is two inches higher than a stock Wrangler.

In addition to being lightweight, overall length has been shortened by 22 inches while leaving the wheelbase at its stock length, resulting in increased approach and departure angles.

For even more capability, Jeep 4SPEED features Dana 44 front and rear axles with a 4.10 gear ratio and 18-inch lightweight monoblock wheels wrapped in 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires.

The interior features a customized instrument panel, and re-trimmed front seats, while the rear seats have been removed and a welding curtain has been repurposed as a bikini top. The floor has been bedlined and the foot wells have been replaced with perforated aluminum panels.

The Jeep 4SPEED is powered by a 2.0-liter I-4 turbocharged engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Holy crap. Take it all. House, dog, 401k, my old wrinkly Nana, whatever. Wow.

I love that blue. I could never own it as a daily driver, but damn, I bet its a blast to drive.

So much I love about this one. The color, the roll bar, and OMG that front bumper! Gimme gimme gimme

I love the different paints on the dash. I really like the standard silver and red (and the Sahara one) but painting an accent or exterior color really is retro cool.

What color is the exterior paint? Sting-grey?

Dig the carbon fiber fenders. Any after market options for those?

well...they will never actually build it, but it gives you an idea how far you could go with your mods if you were friends with the jeep design team...but modify away..no matter what you do..yours wont look exactly like it..the rake of the windshield alone will be unachievable...for most.

that tail gate is amazing

Besides not having a carbon fiber grille, it's awesome.

Of all the concept vehicles, the 4Speed is the Jeepiest Jeep and truest to the Jeep Icon image.

It is not the best Daily Driver ( unless you are wrangling cattle, checking oil rigs, or scouting beaches ), but this is pure 100% authentic Jeep out in the country transportation.

The shortened body is my favorite feature. The deeper rake of the windshield is second.

The trendy carbon-fiber fenders are my least favorite - fire curtain canvas over an aluminum frame would have been fine.

Great work by the Jeep Design Operation group.

Everything here is about weight savings--and remember, carbon fiber is stronger than steel, so this is as much a function move as form.

What "18-inch lightweight monoblock wheels" are these?
Dimensions & Company please...
