The Dodge brand celebrates twenty years of Dodge Durango production with HEMI engine by announcing two special edition vehicles: the 2025 Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and Durango R/T 20th Anniversary models. Starting with the 2004 model year, the 5.7-liter HEMI engine was first offered as an option for the Durango, with full production of the HEMI-powered Durango beginning in 2004. The new special edition vehicles celebrate the powerful combination of the legendary engine and the brand’s high-performance three-row SUV.

It’s a challenging task to improve the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. The most powerful SUV ever accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, covers the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 180 mph. The 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet, the first special edition model of a Durango SRT Hellcat, achieves this goal through a combination of exclusive and premium standard features. Available in Triple Nickel exterior color and in limited production, this model is equipped with special trims that build upon a series of premium standard features for the 2025 Durango SRT Hellcat.

The 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is powered by the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine, paired with an eight-speed TorqueFlite 8HP95 automatic transmission that includes steering-wheel-mounted paddles for manual gear shifts and has seven different driving modes available: Auto, Sport, Track, Snow, Tow, Eco, and Valet. Standard SRT Performance Pages provide vehicle performance information, including timers, g-force, gauges, engine and dynamometer readings. Configurable driving modes provide greater vehicle control, and Race options allow the driver to activate, deactivate, and adjust RPM values for Launch Control and Shift Light functions.
