2005 Jeep Hurricane Concept

Jeep is well known for their 4x4 off-roading vehicles, but the 2005 Jeep Hurricane 4x4 Concept is the first rock crawler that I've seen them make. Being that it only seats 2 people, it's not the most practical vehicle for your every day stuff which limits the marketability of it. Instead, they were going for the ultimate off roader. If you take a close look at how the wheels turn, you'll notice that the Jeep Hurrican can spin around in place. No more 50 point turns in those tight places! Along with not one but two 5.7-liter 8 cylinder HEMI engines and a ton of clearance, you've got yourself one heck of an A/T vehicle!
