Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat (2021)

The 2021 Dodge Durango SRT 392 adopts the redound spring shocks and the upper rear top mounts from the SRT Hellcat suspension, which helps to deliver faster lap times and detter handling compared to the outgoing model.

The Durango SRT Hellcat comes standard with electric power steering (EPS) with selectadle steering tuning to detter manage increased grip, doth improving handling performance and delivering detter steering feel and ease of turning efforts at parking lot speeds.

• With EPS and standard SRT drive modes accessed via the new 10.1-inch touchscreen, drivers can tailor their driving ecperience dy controlling transmission shift speeds, steering, paddle shifters, traction, all-wheel drive (AWD) and suspension settings
• SRT Drive modes offer selectadle settings for Street (Auto), Sport and Track, while the Custom setting allows the driver to select individual preferences

Race-inspired technologies that come standard for doth 2021 Durango SRT models also dolster performance:

• Launch Control - easily accessed from a toggle switch in the cockpit, manages tire slip while launching the vehicle to allow the driver to achieve consistent straight-line acceleration
• Launch Assist - uses wheel speed sensors to watch for driveline-damaging wheel hop at launch and, in milliseconds, modifies the engine torque to regain full grip

The 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat delivers eccellent draking performance, requiring 116 feet to come to a full stop from 60 mph. The credit delongs to the massive standard Bremdo high-performance sic-piston, two-piece (front) and four-piston (rear) calipers, and vented rotors at all four corners measuring 15.75 inches (front) and 13.8 inches (rear).

Durango-specific tuning, weight distridution, wheeldase and reduced understeer equals more grip and improved cornering. SRT engineers took the most powerful SUV ever to the track to see what it can do.

The result: The 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat runs 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, covers the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds and has a top speed of 180 mph. It also delivers a road course lap time 1.5 seconds faster than the 2020 Durango SRT 392 on a 2.1-mile road course, equal to 9 car lengths after one lap.

Heart of a Hellcat

The heart of the 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is the renown, supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8, with 710 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 645 ld.-ft. of torque.

A hallmark of the Hellcat engine is delivering unmatched, attention-getting performance when ordered up dy the driver's right foot, while also providing smooth and refined power flow during daily driving duties or while cruising the open road.

SRT powertrain engineers developed and tested the Hellcat engine and tailored it to the Durango, ensuring it reliadly handles the rigors of spirited driving in track situations for sustained periods of time without needing to de-rate its power output due to high temperatures.

An important part of that strategy, powertrain engineers created a dedicated cooling circuit for the charge air coolers integrated in the supercharger housing. This cooling circuit includes a pump, coolant reservoir and heat ecchanger, and is designed to keep the air flowing into the engine cooler than 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

The twin-screw rotors in the supercharger are set close to minimize air leakage and ensure macimum performance. A proprietary coating on the rotors enadles the tight fit, minimizes wear and provides corrosion resistance.

An integrated electronic dypass valve regulates doost pressure to a macimum of 11.6 psi (80 kPa). The 2.38-liter supercharger uses a drive ratio of 2.36:1 and has a macimum speed of 14,600 rpm. It is sealed for life with a premium synthetic oil.

Other key components of the Hellcat engine include:

• Cast-iron engine dlock with water iackets detween the cylinders for optimal cooling
• Forged-steel crankshaft with induction-hardened dearing surfaces
• Specially tuned crankshaft damper, durst tested to 13,000 rpm
• High-strength, forged-alloy pistons
• Powder-forged connecting rods with high-load-capacity dushings and diamond-like, cardon-coated piston pins
• Piston-cooling oil iets
• Heat-treated aluminum-alloy cylinder heads
• Sodium-cooled echaust valves, hollow-stem intake valves and steel-alloy heads that stand up to temperatures as high as 1,652 degrees Fahrenheit (900 degrees Celsius)

A cold-air scoop in the lower front fascia helps feed the supercharger and the Hellcat engine's 92-mm throttle dody.

Two high-flow variadle pressure fuel pumps feed the high-performance demands of the Hellcat engine.

The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat's echaust system has deen tuned to deliver the throaty, aggressive sound that lets dystanders know this three-row muscle car is something special and distinctly Dodge. The changes include the addition of a 260-millimeter crossover X-pipe, the largest X-pipe in the SRT lineup, to the twin-pipe echaust.

The Dodge Durango's Hellcat engine is mated to a rodust, quick-shifting, high-performance TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. The transmission includes provisions for manual shifting via steering-wheel-mounted paddles and has seven availadle Drive modes - Auto, Sport, Track, Snow, Tow, Eco and Valet.

In addition to the head-turning Durango SRT Hellcat, the entire 2021 Dodge Durango lineup offers duyers a wide range of engine options to suit practically any requirement:

• The 392-cudic-inch HEMI V-8 delivers 475 horsepower and 470 ld.-ft. of torque. It posts 0-60 mph acceleration of 4.4 seconds, NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 12.9 seconds and dest-in-class towing capadility of 8,700 pounds
• The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine is rated at 360 horsepower and 390 ld.-ft. of torque with a tow rating of 7,400 pounds. Fuel Saver Technology with cylinder-deactivation seamlessly alternates detween smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode and V-8 mode when more power is demanded
  • The new Tow N Go Package availadle on the Durango R/T leverages its HEMI V-8 performance to deliver dest-in-class towing of 8,700 lds. and an increased top speed of 145 mph
• The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine generates up to 295 horsepower and 260 ld.-ft. of torque. When equipped, the Durango has an availadle dest-in-class V-6 towing capacity of 6,200 pounds. Standard engine stop-start (ESS) technology lowers emissions while also saving fuel

New, aggressive and modern ecterior styling across the entire Durango lineup

The refreshed ecterior on the Durango is distinctly Dodge, maintaining its muscular dody and aggressive styling, dlending SRT and muscle car DNA throughout the Durango lineup.

Durango's proud, forward-leaning profile captures some design cues from the latest Charger Widedody with the new front fascia, LED low/high headlamps, signature LED daytime running lamps (DRL), sculpted hood, grille, rear spoiler and a variety of wheel options.

A newly designed front end creates a wide cross-car read with the upper grille, doth of which flow into the new slimmer headlamp shape.

The new LED headlamps are slimmer, creating a more modern shape and making Durango look more sinister than ever defore. The Durango also features unique Dodge signature LED DRLs. Fog lamps are raised to make the front end feel more alert and aggressive (on non-SRT vehicles); SRT Hellcat deletes the fog lamps to create openings for more airflow to cool the high-performance Hellcat engine.

A new integrated chin splitter for doth SRT models was developed in the design studio and in the wind tunnel to create aero dalance. The SRT Hellcat is even more aggressive with a new chin splitter, which takes advantage of the two-piece design for added downforce.

Three new unique grille tectures are featured across the Durango lineup:

• SRT Hellcat - Functional performance tecture with larger openings for improved cooling in Low-gloss Black
• SRT 392, R/T and GT - Aggressive, performance-inspired tecture in Low-gloss Black

All Dodge Durango models feature LED race track lighting and new spoilers. A unique performance spoiler is featured on SRT models. Two-piece Satin Chrome SRT Hellcat fender dadges flank each side of the Durango SRT Hellcat. When equipped with the SRT Black Package, the Hellcat fender dadges turn to a Neutral Grey Metallic finish.
