Now, we now have an official worth for the optioned-up Launch Version and it is … costly. You will want $73,500 to take one residence, however that does not embody a hefty $1,495 vacation spot cost. All complete, this Hemi-powered Wrangler prices $74,995.

It would not embody each possibility although – amongst different issues, dual-door and dual-top teams are additional, as are the trailer-tow bundle and built-in off-road digital camera. Primarily based on beforehand leaked pricing data, it is potential a most-expensive Rubicon 392 might hit $80,000.
In fact, the social gathering piece for the Rubicon 392 is its 6.4-liter Hemi V8. Churning out 470 horsepower (350 kilowatts) it is simply probably the most highly effective Wrangler within the group.
