While Dodge hasn’t disclosed the exact number of available production slots, it’s expected to be a limited release, true to the nature of special editions.

### Impressive Performance Specs
Under the hood lies the renowned Hellcat supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine, delivering 710 horsepower. This powerhouse allows the Durango SRT Hellcat to:

Remarkably, these figures are for a midsize SUV that offers a third-row seat, blending performance with practicality.
### Farewell to the V-8
