Jeep Renegade Does A Stoppie On Braking

VIDEOThe Jeep Renegade is a funky looking subcompact that can do anything.Even a stoppie.In motorcycle-land a stoppie is a neat little stunt in which the rider shifts the bike's balance (by leaning forward) in order to make its rear wheel rise as high as possible.It's basically the opposite of a wheelie, which you can do on a bike, but seems rather difficult on a 1.6-ton car.Apparently, the Jeep Renegade can do it, and according to Motor Trend , the trick was discovered by Spanish automotive outlet KM77.com , after the automotive journalist Pablo David Gonzalez decided to apply the vehicle's brakes, while traveling at 84 mph (135 km/h).The model was a front-wheel-drive variant with a 1.6-litre engine, and after getting everything on tape he contacted Fiat's Spain communications director, who in turn came with an explanation.He said the car used for the test was a pre-production model (although it really wasn't), and on top of that, it was involved in an accident that caused its ABS system to be short circuited.
