What is the V8-powered high-performance Jeep Wrangler called?

The story behind the answer

The V8-powered high-performance Jeep Wrangler is called the Wrangler 392, officially the Wrangler Rubicon 392.

Jeep introduced the Rubicon 392 for the 2021 model year as the first factory V8 Wrangler in decades. Its name refers to the engine’s 392-cubic-inch displacement, equivalent to 6.4 liters. The naturally aspirated Hemi V8 produces 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, making it far more powerful than the regular four- and six-cylinder Wrangler engines.

The 392 is based on the Rubicon’s off-road equipment, including locking differentials, a disconnecting front stabilizer bar, and aggressive trail-oriented tires. Jeep also added performance upgrades such as a specially tuned suspension, stronger axles, and a performance exhaust. Its hood scoop and bronze exterior badges help distinguish it visually.

“Wrangler 392” is the common shortened form, while “Rubicon 392” is the full trim name. It is not a Hellcat or Demon variant: those names belong to high-output Dodge models using supercharged V8 technology.
