Get a grip on the conspiracy theories. Did you click on the link in the first post? The document is an official FCA doc on NHTSA’s website. So you think FCA submitted a bonus doc to NHTSA to troll us? Cmon man.I'm saying it's a fake document made up by someone who likes trolling Jeepsters.
http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/g6482/10-cars-with-the-highest-specific-outputs/The only manufacturers that have engineered engines that make close to 184 hp/liter of displacement are Ferrari, McLaren, AMG, basically high end exotic cars. Fiat/Chrysler will NOT be able to mass produce a motor like that for a vehicle with a $30-50k price. The only thing that FCA makes with that kind of power is the Alfa Romeo Giulia and that is an $80,000 vehicle.
Sure a typo seems illogical, but creating a website with with 10s of thousands of entries (with full content) using a .gov URL for a ruse whose lifespan would be a few days at most and only care about in select forums makes more sense?4) Finally I doubt that this is a typo... These documents get reviewed several times prior to submission.This being a typo doesn’t really make sense. It would have been signed off by someone prior to being submitted.
This being a fake is absolutely possible. Just look at how much fun the person who faked it is it having. There are over 140 replies within hours of it being posted.
Sure there is that market, and if FCA wanted it, they could’ve gone after it a long time ago with the option that’s still better than a 2.0T @ 368HP... the existing Hemi @ 400HP/400lbft that people are already paying a $20K+ premium to AEV to acquire.There is definitely a market for a premium Wrangler. I will buy one!
Well typo, fake, illogical engine design for a Wrangler or all of the above. The truth will be revealed soon.Sure a typo seems illogical, but creating a website with with 10s of thousands of entries (with full content) using a .gov URL for a ruse whose lifespan would be a few days at most and only care about in select forums makes more sense?
Here’s a submission for FCA from 2015, over 10,000 files prior, that only mentions a Viper GTC name change;

All that effort, for this level of payoff? Not bloody likely. About as unlikely as a 368HP 2L engine in a Wrangler that crawls slowly over a trail with zero airflow and limited cooling.

Even if the 2.0T were making those Typo numbers, it would still be less potent than the 5.7L for everyone other than people at altitude who lose power due to elevation.
But sure let’s go with the likely story that FCA would build a 348-368HP 2.0T to put it in their Wrangler, instead of in their Challenger/Charger that are already competing with a turbo 4 in their market, because a typo is unthinkable, despite many other examples to the contrary on the site itself.
