Jeep 4Speed concept drops weight with lots of carbon fiber and aluminum

The Jeep 4Speed concept is a lightweight, Wrangler-based concept. 

To shave weight, lots of carbon fiber and aluminum were used.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for the 4Speed concept.

Compared to a stock Wrangler, the 4Speed has been shortened by 22 inches, while retaining a stock wheelbase length.

The shorter overhangs give the 4Speed better approach and departure angles.

The turbocharged engine works with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The 4Speed's interior boasts a customized instrument panel and exclusive seat coverings. 

Aluminum has been used for the foot wells to save weight. 

For improved off-road capability, the 4Speed gets upgraded axles and 18-inch wheels wrapped with 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires.

Compared to a stock Jeep Wrangler, the 4Speed boasts a 2-inch higher ride height.
