Last summer, the folks over at Dodge revealed plans for a Hellcat version of its Durango SUV.
Because: Hellcat all-the-things.
Now, we have confirmation that Dodge wasn’t bluffing, because production of the super SUV has officially begun.
That 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat stats are brutal, starting with a supercharged 6.2L Hemi engine making 710 horsepower and 645 ft.-lbs. of torque. Power is sent through Dodge’s eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic.
Dodge says that power is good enough to scoot the hefty SUV to 60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds and cover a quarter mile in an NHRA-certified 11.5 seconds. It’ll also top-out at a blistering 180 mph.
Heck, Dodge even divulged that its Durango SRT Hellcat is faster than the SRT 392 on a road course.
The catch? It’s a big one. The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat will only be made for the 2021 model year. So if you need to haul a half dozen friends in a 700+ hp SUV, you may want to get in line now.
Oh, and it carries a $80,995 price tag.
Expect to start seeing it in Dodge showrooms by this Spring. In the meantime, check out the teaser video below—and cross your fingers for a Pacifica Hellcat next.

Maybe its limited production run (2021 model year only) foreshadowed the Stellantis decision to shutter SRT? Read more about the Durango SRT Hellcat here. […]
