The Durango SRT Hellcat, to be made solely for one model year (2021), is about to go on sale. The most powerful SUV ever made, the 710-hp Durango has run a certified 11.5 second quarter mile, stock, and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. The price is a hefty $81,000 plus destination; sales open tomorrow (Friday, November 6). Past runs of such vehicles have sold out quickly.


The entire Durango lineup, from V6 to Hellcat, has had a substantial appearance update inside and out, with a new instrument panel, fast UConnect 5 telematics, a 10.1 inch touch-screen, and towing capacity from 6,200 pounds (V6) to 8,700 pounds (V8 plus towing package). This is the highest towing capacity of any full-size, three-row SUV.

Buyers of the Hellcat get a day of pro instruction at the Bondurant High Performance Driving School in Arizona.
