“The 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey completes a trio of special edition Durango SRT Hellcat models as we celebrate 20 years of HEMI power in the Dodge performance SUV,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge brand CEO. “The Durango continues to lead the segment with the Durango SRT Hellcat, America’s fastest and most capable three-row gasoline-powered SUV, offering best-in-class available towing capacity of 8,700 pounds.”

The 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey is a tribute to the legendary HEMI engine and a tribute to fans who have always appreciated the dark bronze details. With a Red Oxide exterior livery, this high-performance SUV features a bold and aggressive design.

The dark bronze-tone 20-inch alloy wheels, combined with the distinctive brass exterior badges, create a fascinating contrast with the bodywork. Inside, the cabin goes wild with its exuberance of luxury and sportiness. A great touch of exclusivity comes from the Sepia Laguna SRT leather seats, with the SRT Hellcat logo embroidered in silver on the seat backs. The leather and Alcantara steering wheel, with contrasting silver/sepia stitching, completes the premium feel.

Other details that emphasize sportiness and refinement in this SUV are the satin-black hood, six-piston Brembo brake system, and black exhaust tips. The cabin is embellished with carbon fiber trim and black chrome elements. And important is the Alcantara headlining detail that adds to the touch of luxury and comfort.

Dodge SRT – Dodge Charger, now electric and more powerful than ever

Born from the legacy of the Dodge brothers, John and Horace, the eponymous automaker continues to push the limits of performance. The new generation, all-electric Dodge Charger represents a turning point while keeping its muscle car soul intact. Alongside the electric Charger, Dodge offers a range of high-performance models.

The next generation Dodge Charger electrifies a legend, with the Charger retaining its title as the world’s fastest and most powerful muscle car driven by the all-new all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack. The all-new Dodge Charger will also offer performance choices via multi-energy powertrain options, including the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK HO, powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane High Output engine.

Dodge also keeps its foot on the accelerator as a pure performance brand with the 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, the most powerful SUV ever, and best-in-class standard performance in the compact utility vehicle segment with the Dodge Hornet.
