About the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 JL
The Rubicon 392 is the first factory-built V8 Wrangler in nearly 40 years, answering a decades-long demand from enthusiasts for more power. It features a 6.4-litre HEMI V8 that transforms the off-roader into a straight-line powerhouse capable of 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. To handle the extra weight and torque, Jeep equipped it with a 2-inch factory lift, FOX high-performance shocks, and heavy-duty Dana 44 axles. While it retains legendary trail capability, the 392 is defined by its raucous quad-exit exhaust and functional 'Hydro-Guide' hood scoop that can separate up to 15 gallons of water per minute.
