The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat will only be available for the 2021 model year and that means demand will likely far exceed supply. With that in mind, Dodge has announced the “three-row muscle car” will be available to order starting tomorrow. The range-topping Durango costs US$ 80,995 and features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 710 hp and 875 Nm of torque. It’s paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission which sends power to a standard all-wheel drive system.
Thanks to the Hellcat V8, the Durango can
accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 290 km/h. The model can also run the quarter mile in 11.5 seconds and tow
up to 3,946 kg. Other highlights include a sport-tuned suspension,
adaptive dampers and a Brembo braking system.
The latter features six-piston calipers and 15.8 inch (401 mm) discs up
front as well as four-piston calipers and 13.8 inch (351 mm) discs out back.
On the styling front, the Durango SRT
Hellcat has an aggressive fascia with a mesh grille, a chin splitter and
boomerang-shaped air intakes. The model also has a ram air hood, a unique
spoiler and 20-inch wheels with gloss black accents. The sporty styling continues
in the cabin as buyers will find a flat-bottomed steering wheel as well as
leather and suede sport seats. Other highlights include SRT-branded floor mats,
a nine-speaker Alpine audio system and a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment
system.
An assortment of options will be available
including a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a rear seat entertainment
system and a Lightweight Performance Package. The latter eliminates the
third-row seat and sees the second-row captain chairs replaced by a 60/40 split
folding bench. Those lucky enough to secure an order can expect deliveries to
begin early next year.
