Jeep and Harley-Davidson have unveiled the Renegade Hell’s Revenge show car.
Created by Garage Italia Customs, the one-off model was built to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the European H.O.G. Rally which kicked off earlier today in Portoroz, Slovenia.
Drawing inspiration from motorcycle customization, the Renegade has been equipped with a unique paint job that consists of four layers of a matte paint base and fluorescent flames. The company then applied a special transparent layer which protects the paint and helps it resemble the airbrushing technique used on motorcycle tanks.
Besides the special paint job, the Renegade has a lifted suspension, LED spotlights, and a customized skid plate that says "Jeep. H-D. Icons." Rounding out the changes are Harley Davidson logos and special alloy wheels with BF Goodrich off-road tires.
The interior has received a modest makeover as Garage Italia Customs installed special seats with Foglizzo Nappa leather and black denim upholstery. Drivers will also find a painted dashboard and a leather-wrapped shifter with contrasting orange accents.
Jeep declined to mention performance specifications but the U.S. spec model can be equipped with either a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque or a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that cranks out 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque.

The Jeep® brand reveals exclusive Renegade ‘Hell’s Revenge’ show car by Garage Italia Customs
- The unique 'Hell's Revenge' show car by Garage Italia Customs (GIC) is making its debut at the Harley-Davidson® 25th European H.O.G. Rally on June 16-19 in Portoroz, Slovenia.
- Based on the Renegade model, the Hell's Revenge enhances the values of passion, freedom and adventure shared by the Jeep® and the Harley-Davidson® brands.
The Jeep® brand is the main sponsor at the 25th anniversary of the iconic Harley-Davidson® event held in Portoroz, Slovenia from today to June 19th. Free and open to all riders and with an expected attendance of thousands of Harley-Davidson riders, enthusiasts and friends, the event is an unmissable highlight on the Harley-Davidson® calendar. For the occasion, the Jeep brand - that is partnering with Harley-Davidson for the third year running and offering branded hospitality and test drives at each of its EMEA based events - will be debuting the unique Jeep Renegade Hell's Revenge show car created by Garage Italia Customs (GIC).
Based on the Renegade model, the Hell's Revenge is a tribute to Harley owners and to all bikers who share the same values and lifestyle and confirms the strong affinities between the two brands.
The Hell's Revenge also represents a further step in the collaboration between the Jeep brand and Garage Italia Customs, which started last year with the two Renegade show cars customized by GIC for the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Having devised various concepts, the Design Centre of the Lapo Elkann creative hub identified flames as the key element of the personalization to represent passion, a main value in both the Harley and Jeep worlds.
Moving from the virtual to the real world, four layers of a matte paint base and fluorescent flames were applied on the vehicle's body, protected by a special transparent layer for fluo paint. The intense colour of the new livery has an immediate impact and recalls the particular airbrushing technique used on motorcycle tanks. Flames can also be found on the interior, thanks to the special painting of the dashboard. The seats, on the other hand, boast Foglizzo Nappa leather and black denim.
The Hell's Revenge is a Renegade which has been personalized in every detail to follow the tastes of fans of the custom-made. To ensure the capability of tackling and overcoming any obstacle, the show car features special technical equipment including a personalized skid plate, a suspension lift kit and special alloy rims combined with modified BF Goodrich tyres. Completing the unique look of the Hell's Revenge are two LED spotlights on the windscreen, fitted with specific supports purposely created by the expert craftsmen at Garage Italia Customs.
To further highlight the affinity between the Jeep and Harley-Davidson worlds, on Saturday the Hell's Revenge show car will open the spectacular parade of bikes that is hallmark of each Harley-Davidson rally as also the most exciting moment of the Portoroz program.
