Racers Take Your Mark

The 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat was originally supposed to be a single-year release, but because of its extreme popularity, it’s returned as a 2023 model, and it's more groundbreaking than ever.

Under the hood of the 2023 Durango Hellcat is a 6.4-liter supercharged V8 engine that generates a whopping 710 horsepower and 645 pound feet of torque. Driving power to all four wheels through an eight speed automatic transmission, the Durango SRT Hellcat can race to 60 MPH in as little as 3.5 seconds. Keep the pedal planted to the floor and this lightning fast SUV will tear through the quarter mile in a mere 11.5 seconds. If you wish to go beyond the confines of the drag strip, don’t worry, the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat’s top speed is a blistering 180 miles per hour.

Let’s Get Technical

The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat isn’t powered by just any V8 engine, instead it's driven by a meticulously engineered 6.4-liter HEMI® that’s specifically designed to handle such power and performance yet return serious dependability. This engine features dedicated air circuits for the charge air coolers to make sure that intake air is below 140ºF while employing an electronic bypass valve to ensure that boost pressure is capped at 11.6 PSI.

Rather than using an aluminum engine block, the Durango SRT Hellcat sticks to its muscle-car roots and uses a cast iron block with integrated water jackets for optimal cooling, and specialized piston-cooling oil jets. Sodium cooled exhaust valves prevent supercharged air from warping vital components while a specially tuned exhaust system ensures that your engine’s roar is unmistakable.
