Dodge Wants More Than $113,000 For Another Durango SRT Hellcat Special Edition

Dodge just can’t let go of the Hellcat V8. Despite the LX-platformed Charger and Challenger having driven off into the great dealership in the sky, and the Ram 1500 switching to inline-6 power, the supercharged V8 is sticking around in the Durango SUV for now. For 2025, the Durango Hellcat returns once again with a new special edition model called the Hammerhead.

Outside, you’ll be able to tell a Durango Hammerhead apart from other Durangos by its special exterior color called Night Moves, a dark blue that looks almost black. You also get 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels and bright exhaust outlets.

Inside, the Hammerhead gets its name from the Hammerhead Gray Laguna leather interior with Sepia-colored Hellcat logos embroidered in the seatbacks. There’s also a “premium wrapped instrument panel” with contrasting stitching, and carbon-fiber and light black chrome interior accents. The steering wheel gets a touch of premium treatment too, covered in leather and suede accented by Sepia and silver stitching. All the other usual tech and premium features are standard like a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a suite of driver-assistance features and a 19-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system.

Power for the Durango SRT Hammerhead comes from Dodge’s supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 with a monstrous 710 horsepower. Dodge says this is enough to scoot the Hammerhead to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, an 11.5-second quarter-mile time and a claimed 180-mph top speed,ludicrous for a vehicle weighing close to 6,000 pounds.

All of this is going to cost you a pretty penny. Excluding destination charges, the 2025 Durango SRT Hammerhead will set you back $113,720. The Hammerhead is the second special edition Durango Hellcat that Dodge has introduced this year, after the Durango Hellcat Silver Bullet. It’s also — shockingly — the fourth Durango model to be priced over $100,000. There’s the $101,995 Durango SRT Hellcat Plus that’s one rung above the “base” Hellcat, the $107,200 SRT Hellcat Premium and the aforementioned Silver Bullet, which has the same MSRP as the Durango Hammerhead. Wild times we live in.

What makes this all especially funny is how the Durango Hellcat was originally supposed to be a one-year-only car when it was introduced for 2021. Dodge then decided to bring the car back for the 2023 model year, and a group of owners sued the company. Dodge now promises the Durango will exit production after 2024, but who knows, Stellantis could always change its mind.
