Dodge reveals 707bhp Durango Hellcat 'Hammerhead' and yeah we thought that too
Sadly, it is not named after a TG corner, but instead its 'Hammerhead grey' interior. There's still time for a Durango Follow Through
Dodge has just released its third special edition Hemi V8-powered Durango, dubbed the ‘SRT Hellcat Hammerhead’, and yeah, we thought that too, but... it's not that.
Changes include a unique ‘Night Moves’ exterior paint - which is unmistakably, er, dark blue - and its 'Hammerhead grey' interior (hence the name), along with a spate of other stylistic changes. Still, we can but hope the next one’ll be called Follow Through.
Anyway, that fresh new coat is paired up with a satin black hood, part-carbon 20in alloys and fancier exhaust tips. Blacked-out Brembo stoppers are also in place to neutralise the 707bhp on tap, which is sent through an eight-speed auto box and all-wheel drive to get to 60 in 3.5s, a quarter-mile in 11.5s and a Vmax of 180. Impressive, for something that weighs as much as Chicago.
The interior, meanwhile, gets that aforementioned grey leather and many Hellcat logos, a 10.1in infotainment screen with the usual smartphone connectivity and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio unit. There’s also forged carbon and chrome accents, and much leather, suede and sepia used throughout. It certainly looks the part.
Dodge hasn’t shied away with the tech suite either, which includes various performance-related readouts such as the g-force gauge. That’ll come in handy when you’ve gone full Gambon around a few roundabouts before the numerous radars and safety systems start arguing with you for not following Jay Kay’s line.
Tempted? You’ll need to tap $113,720 (£86,925) out from the coffers to secure your own Hammerhead.
