Russian Tuner Morphs Grand Cherokee SRT into Tyrannos V2

Renegade Russia

Renegade Russia has been creating beastly aftermarket Jeep body kits since before Jeep decided to sell the Trackhawk. Their take on the 'super SUV' is far more aggressive than what any OEM would be comfortable mass producing. And while the original version of their 'Tyrannos' Jeep Grand Cherokee kit was already quite the world-beater, Tyrannos V2 takes things up a few notches.

Way More Aggressive

In addition to the wide body treatment courtesy of the extended fender flares, the kit features a wildly modified front fascia, as well. Why the Renegade Russia designers felt the need to squeeze what looks like five different designs into one front bumper cover is a mystery. But there's no chance in hell any passer by is not going to do a double take on this thing.

Drag Racing

In the video published by Dutch YouTuber Gumbal, the Grand Cherokee SRT is shown taking on several very powerful cars in rolling-start drag races. Though the Grand Cherokee doesn't quite match up in terms of top speed in the 1,000-meter race, it looks formidable in the initial stages of each race, pulling ahead immediately almost every time.

The Opposite of Humble

Obviously, the Jeep has a massive aerodynamic disadvantage at high speeds, due to its huge frontal area. So perhaps a quarter-mile race would be a more appropriate setting to showcase this beast. But we digress, because the crazy body kit is still by far the most noteworthy aspect of the Jeep.

Looking Mean

Although the initial version of the Russian kit retained Jeep's iconic 7-slot grille, this iteration has done away with that design in favor of the horizontal slat style you see here. Aside from the somewhat confusing lower bumper cover design, the kit also features a custom hood with significantly exaggerated air intake features. The level of functionality there is unknown. But hey, it accomplishes the goal of looking mean!
