The new MILITEM Ferōx Adventure either represents the latest and finest in Monza based firms “American tech/Italian made” philosophy or an expensive $94,043 to $98,080 (plus VAT!) Jeep Wrangler JL package depending on your point of view, which will be higher because of the installed lift kit. After the Principality of Monaco, distribution partners for the brand are set to follow in Germany, Czech Republic and Poland.
The MILITEM Ferōx is based on the 4-door Wrangler JL. It has a 2.0-liter 272 horsepower petrol engine or a 3.6 V6 e-Torque Mild Hybrid, producing 285 CV. A 2-door version is offered with a 3.6 V6 and an e-Torque engine. The e-Torque Mild Hybrid system uses 48 V generator and recuperates and stores energy during braking. This is then used to start the Jeep when in start-stop mode and to provide more torque when overtaking, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, it’s claimed. All versions of the Jeep are fitted with 4WD and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The original reason for purchasing Jeep under the Iacocca at Chrysler regime is once again proven – Jeep is an international brand subject to local tastes, as well as commercial exploitation.
