2012 Jeep Wrangler with Pentastar V6 Engine – Engine Upgrade

The Jeep Wrangler is a compact four-wheel drive SUV manufactured by American based car manufacturer Chrysler, under its Jeep marque. The 2012 Jeep Wrangler is the fourth generation of this series.

During Chrysler’s third-quarter sales announcement, the CEO of the company, Sergio Marchionne, stated that the 2012 edition of Jeep Wrangler is to receive the latest version of the Chrysler engine: the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6. This means that the 2012 Jeep Wrangler will join a long list of cars manufactured by Chrysler which have already received the powerful Pentastar V6 engine for their 2011 year model. The first car to use this engine is the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This engine has also been used in the 2011 editions of Chrysler 200, 300, as well as Town & Country; the 2011 editions of Dodge Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan, and Journey; and the 2011 Volkswagen Routan.

If this announcement is true, it means that the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 engine will replace the old 3.8 liter V6 engine. The new engine will be able to increase the performance of the car. If the old 3.8 liter V6 engine can only produce up to 146 kW of power with 315 Nm of torque, the brand new 3.6 Pentastar V6 will be able to produce not less than 216 kW power with 352 Nm of torque. Despite the significant increase in performance, the new engine consumes similar amount of fuel as the previous engine. They both consume about 12 liter of fuel per 100 km.

2012 Jeep Wrangler with Pentastar V6 Engine – Other Features

Besides the engine upgrade, this car has plenty of other features to offer. The previous edition is available in two transmission options: the 4-speed Ultradrive 42RLE automatic and the 6-speed Chrysler NSG370 manual. For the 2012 edition, to keep up with the Pentastar V6 engine, the 4-speed automatic transmission will be replaced with a 5-speed automatic transmission system. However, this change is taken quite late since many manufacturers are upgrading their vehicles to 6- or 7-speed automatic transmission. » Read more: 2012 Jeep Wrangler With Pentastar V6 Engine

Support Your Sport Teams!

November 18th, 2011

Have you ever stopped to think about all of the different type of automobile racing there is throughout the world? While some people may focus on sports that only last a particular season throughout the year, racing is something that is taking place on any given weekend although the specific type of racing that is available may change from one week to the next. For example, some people may enjoy watching Porsche race cars while others may enjoy something along the lines of NASCAR or perhaps formula-one vehicles. Regardless of your personal likes or dislikes, there’s no doubt that you’re going to want to show your love for the sport in the things that you wear. If you just look around you in any given crowd, you’re sure to see that many people want to do the same.

In order to show your love for the sport, you need to consider wearing some type of racing apparel. Some of it is really going to be obvious, such as the T-shirts or hats that are available while others may be a little bit more subdued. Some people even wear undergarments that show the love of the sport, items that are usually not shown in public. In addition, you may want to have your own collection of racing collectibles, of which there are many available. The smaller items can be displayed in your home and anyone who happens to visit can see those items on display is going to know of your love of the sport.
