Dodge Durango Srt Hellcat

Anyone lucky enough to have ordered one of the roughly 2000 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat SUVs will be thrilled to hear that the Auburn Hills automaker has officially confirmed production started this week. The hallmark of the Durango SRT Hellcat is the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 that makes 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft.

Dodge apparently has it in its head to Hellcat all the rides it produces, and I’m good with that. The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 has found its way under the hood of the Charger, Challenger, and Ram 1500 pickup, which isn’t even a Dodge.

Car guys and gals looking for something that can haul the family and tear up the dragstrip don’t have a lot of choices. Of course, Dodge makes the Charger, but the sedan isn’t comfortable for more than four people, and it doesn’t have that much cargo capacity.

With the Hellcat engine finding its way into the Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Jeep Grand Cherokee, FCA continues to look for places to stick its ridiculously powerful supercharged V8 power plant. Next up on the list is a seemingly obvious pick – the Dodge Durango.
