16280659840_a143d8ed36_nThe Jeep Renegade Hell’s Revenge is a concept model created by Garage Italia Customs, an Italian tuning house. It’s named after the difficult Hell’s Revenge off-road trail in Moab, Utah, and it was inspired by Harley-Davidson motorcycles. These customized Jeep Renegades have the Milwaukee icon’s badges on its doors. The Hell’s Revenge was created to celebrate the 25th annual European H.O.G. Rally, a huge Harley-Davidson festival in Portoroz, Slovenia. Jeep was also this special event’s main sponsor. Here’s some more information about the Hell’s Revenge and the Renegade.

Exterior

The paint job on the Renegade Hell’s Revenge is similar to many Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It has four layers of matte black paint, and fluorescent red, orange, and yellow flames cover the front grille. They also decorate the hood, the front fenders, and most of the front doors. The car has a special clear coat designed for fluorescent paint, a custom front skid plate, a suspension lift, and unique dark-finished alloy wheels with custom BF Goodrich tires. LED spotlights are mounted low on each side of the A-pillars, the supports for the roof on either side of the windshield.

Interior

The fluorescent flames are also on the dashboard, and the seats are wrapped in Foglizzo Nappa leather with black denim inserts. Jeep Renegades have large cabins with all the controls in the center stack, including an all-wheel drive lock and Selec-Terrain switches. The front and back seats are comfortable and spacious, and there’s plenty of headroom. You can even choose removable My Sky roof panels that fit under the floor in the 18.5-cubic inch cargo area.

Engine

There were no changes to the Renegade Hell’s Revenge powertrain or engine. The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo I-4 engine is standard. It produces 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and it comes in front- and all-wheel drive. A six-speed manual is the only available transmission.

The 2.4-liter Tigershark I-4 is optional. It comes standard with Renegade Limited and Trailhawk models, and it’s the same engine the Jeep Cherokee has. It offers 180 horsepower, 175 pound-feet of torque, and a new nine-speed automatic transmission. You can choose between two all-wheel-drive systems. Jeep Active Drive routes power to the rear wheels with a quick-connecting power transfer unit. The Renegade Trailhawk’s Jeep Active Drive Low lets first gear double as a low range.

Options

The optional rear cross-path detection and ParkView rear back-up camera systems activate automatically when you shift your Renegade into reverse. A touch screen lets you see what’s behind you and sensors detect oncoming traffic. The available forward collision warning system lets you know when you approach another vehicle too rapidly and adjusts your speed to help avoid a collision. You can also choose an optional LaneSense lane departure warning system to warn you if you drift out of your lane by accident.

The Jeep Renegade Hell’s Revenge led the parade of Harley motorcycles at the H.O.G. Rally. The Jeep Renegade is a great vehicle for a highway commute or off-road fun, and the Hell’s Revenge has unique, attractive styling.
