Unapologetic Power
Despite being a mid-size SUV, the Durango SRT Hellcat rivals sports sedans and muscle cars in straight-line speed. The SUV is propelled by a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 that churns out a hair-raising 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission, forming a traction-rich AWD system. When put to the test, the SUV hits 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and reaches a blistering top speed of 180 mph.
When you aren’t chasing down sports cars on the track, you can harness the SUV’s tremendous power for other purposes, such as towing. When properly equipped, the Durango SRT Hellcat offers a best-in-class towing capacity of 8,700 lbs.
Outstanding Maneuverability
In addition to dominating drag races, the Durango SRT Hellcat clears bends and corners without breaking a sweat. Some of its maneuverability comes from a near-perfect weight distribution, which is achieved by a skillfully engineered chassis. Additionally, the AWD system has a rear bias, giving the SUV extra traction when powering through a sharp turn.
The SUV’s maneuverability is further improved by an electronic limited-slip differential and SRT high-performance suspension with active damping. The system allows the wheels to move up and down individually, maintaining optimal tire-to-road contact at all times. This gives drivers the confidence to corner aggressively in less-than-ideal road conditions.
Performance Brakes
You can confidently rely on the race-bred braking system to bring the SUV to a quick halt when needed. The Durango SRT Hellcat comes equipped with Brembo performance brakes, consisting of large rotors, six-piston front calipers, and four-piston rear calipers. The Silver Bullet special edition model clads the brake system in a sporty red color, while the Hammerhead and Brass Monkey special edition models feature black brakes.
Selectable Drive Modes
The Durango SRT Hellcat comes with seven available drive modes that let you customize the SUV’s performance to match your driving needs. Auto, Sport, and Eco modes provide varying levels of power for day-to-day driving, while Track mode prepares the SUV for racing, and Snow mode provides improved traction during winter driving conditions. The SUV also features a Tow mode to optimize the HEMI V8’s power output for serious work.
