Summary = Innovative in style, the Jeep Hurricane included a centrally
located twin-engine transfer case, in-board brakes, drive shafts,
front and rear steering, and complete corner assemblies. The Jeep
Hurricane's Shift-by-wire mechanisms allow the wheels on one side
of the vehicle to run in reverse, which,
coupled with split solid axles and 55 degrees front and rear wheel
toe-in angles, allows the vehicle to rotate around its own axis.

Body = Designing a functional prototype from an idea in such a short
time was challenging. It was a tremendous feeling when everything
functioned as
designed the first time” said Brett Wallihan, MillenWorks
Design Engineer, “You just don’t expect a vehicle to
rotate around its own axis like that. It was surreal.”
This statement
summed up for the high praises and awe the crowd bestowed on the
Jeep Hurricane took center stage at the Detroit auto show DaimlerChrysler
Corporation press conference.
Innovative in
style, the Jeep Hurricane included a centrally located twin-engine
transfer case, in-board brakes, drive shafts, front and rear steering,
and complete corner assemblies. It has a centrally located transfer
case coupling power from both engines and distribute all wheel drive
torque to each corner of the vehicle. The Jeep Hurricane's Shift-by-wire
mechanisms allow the wheels on one side of the vehicle to run in
reverse, which, coupled with split solid axles and 55 degrees front
and rear wheel toe-in angles, allows the vehicle to rotate around
its own axis.
Jeep Hurricane
2005 has Four Wheel and Crab Steering capability, with a combination
of traditional and “steer by wire” technologies. The
total of twenty inches of
suspension travel was achieved through the use of a purpose-built
front and rear double A-arm independent wishbone suspension with
coil over dampers
Superior engineering
describes the effort put into every inch of the Jeep Grand Cherokee
by its grand designers -- the Millenworks. The new concept vehicle
challenged the creative boundaries of MillenWorks’ engineering
team and the result is amazing.
