Among car enthusiasts, Dodge is known as the pinnacle of American muscle; every Dodge is made with the sole purpose of being aggressive and exciting to drive. This spirit is extended throughout their lineup. No more is this clear than in the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. After a single-year test run, enthusiasm for the car was so overwhelming that Dodge is bringing it back for this model year. The Durango SRT Hellcat's claim to fame is simple but compelling: it is the most powerful SUV on the planet. Under the hood, the car has the same 6.2-liter Hemi Hellcat V-8 engine. This monstrous engine produces 710 horsepower and 645 lb.-ft. of torque. These aren't empty numbers, either; the Durango SRT Hellcat has the performance to back it up. The SUV has a blindingly fast 3.5 second 0-60 mph time, a quarter-mile time of 10.5 seconds, and a top speed of 180 miles per hour.
The high tech isn't just under the hood, either. In the cabin, the driver has various customization options to make their driving experience the best for their situation. These include the SRT driving modes, which let the driver choose between Street, Sport and Track, and a Custom setting so drivers can choose individual preferences, and a Launch Control switch accessible on the wheel so that drivers on the track can be sure that they get the best start, every time. The car's driving data is available in the central 10.1 inch infotainment display. Here, the driver can operate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adjust the car's climate control, and see driving data like shift speeds and mileage.
