# It Sure Looks Like Dodge Is Teasing a 707-HP Durango Hellcat SUV

Dodge is no stranger to high-octane airtime. With its over-the-top muscle car swagger and "House of Power" ads promoting [SRT vehicles](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/30157/srt-design-boss-wants-dodge-challenger-charger-owners-to-take-off-their-splitter-guards>), we've become accustomed to watching Chargers and Challengers shred their tires with ease. The automaker's latest promo takes a slightly different direction, though, as it partners with *Fast and Furious 9* to show a glimpse—just a flash—of what appears to be a [Dodge Durango’s](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/22123/2019-dodge-durango-better-with-age>) front quarter panel with the now-classic Hellcat emblem. If it’s what we’re thinking, the Durango line will gain an even more potent variant over the already-quick SRT model.

Though [Dodge](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31384/dodge-challenger-srt-demon-owned-by-fca-design-boss-can-be-yours-for-139995>) doesn’t currently make a Durango Hellcat, [Trackhawk](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/23343/2018-jeep-grand-cherokee-trackhawk-is-the-most-hellish-hellcat>), or anything of the sort, it's reasonable to expect the brand’s family SUV is next in line for supercharged treatment. After all, Dodge's sister company, Jeep, gave its Grand Cherokee a 6.2-liter Hellcat engine a few years ago. The result is a kiddo-hauling Trackhawk truck that can hit 60 mph from a standstill in under four seconds.

The most powerful Durango at present is the SRT model, which gets 475 horsepower from its 6.4-liter Hemi V8. Dodge’s “standard” Hellcat vehicles get 707 horsepower, so a Durango Hellcat would be a big jump for the SUV.

We've been publicly expecting this for years, and we're a little surprised it took so long. Customers have been [dropping Hellcat engines in their Durangos](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/27820/797-hp-dodge-durango-srt-pursuit-is-a-hellcat-redeye-powered-suv-for-two>) for some time now, albeit with different specifications. Regardless, here's to hoping this is more than a tease and we'll actually see another 707-hp SUV hit dealer lots sometime soon—there could never be too many, after all.
