Dodge has unveiled the Durango Hellcat, and it is a beast. Proclaimed as the most powerful SUV ever, the Durango Hellcat is unequivocally one of the most exciting SUVs on the market. According to Tim Kuniskis, head of Fiat Chrysler’s passenger cars division in North America, Dodge is expected to produce fewer than 2,000 of the Durango Hellcat models, which will go into production early 2021. This monster will be a single run only due to emission regulations that begin the following year.
This high-performance variant features a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi Hellcat V8 engine that boasts 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque. “We are a full, distilled performance brand,” Kuniskis said, “To do that, it was the perfect time to bring the most powerful versions of all of them. It just kind of made sense to do them all at the same time.”
The new Hellcat model is part of an updated lineup for the 2021 Durango, which will begin arriving in showrooms this Fall. Changes include exterior styling tweaks and significant upgrades to the interior, including a redesigned driver cockpit and next-generation infotainment system. This mighty SUV will be rare, so don’t dally!
