Is this the coolest SUV on the planet? It’s hard to argue otherwise when you’re looking at a 710-horsepower family hauler that sounds like a muscle car and looks like the Batmobile.
We recently got our hands on a 2024 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat at Mark Martin Motors, and this isn't just any showroom stock model. This beast has over $28,000 in custom upgrades, transforming it from a high-performance SUV into a one-of-a-kind street monster.
If you are looking for a vehicle that can drop the kids off at school and immediately dominate the racetrack, this is it.
The Last of a Dying Breed
The 2024 model year marks a significant turning point for Dodge. This is the "Last Call" era for the Hellcat engine as Mopar phases out these supercharged V8 giants in favor of electric and turbo-six platforms.
Owning this Durango means owning a piece of automotive history. With only 2,400 miles on the odometer, this practically brand-new SUV represents the pinnacle of American muscle before the industry shifts gears forever.
Under the Hood: 710 Horsepower Stock
Even without modifications, the Durango Hellcat is a savage machine.
-
Engine: 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8
-
Horsepower: 710 hp
-
Torque: 645 lb-ft
-
Performance: 0-60 mph in roughly 3.5 seconds
-
Towing Capacity: 8,700 lbs
It features Brembo brakes with red calipers for massive stopping power—essential for a vehicle of this size and speed. Despite its weight, the handling is incredible, rivaling the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk but with more room for the family.
$28,000 in Custom Upgrades
The previous owner went all out, investing nearly $30k to make this Durango truly unique. Here is the breakdown of the custom work:
-
Vicrez Widebody Kit: A Demon-style widebody kit (fenders and front spoiler) painted to match the body, giving it a massive, aggressive stance.
-
Custom Wrap: The roof has been wrapped in black to contrast with the stunning "Destroyer Grey" (Stingray) flat paint.
-
Wheels & Tires: Custom 20-inch offset wheels that fill out the widebody fenders perfectly.
-
Exhaust: A 3-inch MBRP Cat-Back Exhaust system with 4-inch dual tips. It gives the truck a throaty, mean exhaust note that announces your arrival before you’re even seen.
-
Lighting: Upgraded LED fog lights and custom mirror covers.
-
Audio: A massive Kicker subwoofer professionally installed in the rear for premium sound.
-
Intake: Legmaker air intake system (you can hear the supercharger whine!).
-
Security: A custom theft alarm system to keep this high-value target safe.
Interior: Race Car Meets Family SUV
Inside, you don't sacrifice comfort for speed. You get the full "Hellcat" treatment with suede and leather SRT seats, a flat-bottom heated steering wheel, and paddle shifters.
It’s loaded with tech, including:
-
Drive Modes: Auto, Sport, Track, Snow, and Tow.
-
Launch Control & Performance Pages: Track your 0-60 times and G-force.
-
Creature Comforts: Heated and cooled seats, dual-zone climate, and a massive touchscreen display.
-
Utility: 3-row seating with fold-flat options for hauling cargo (or more car parts!).
Fuel Economy? Don't Ask.
Let's be honest—you aren't buying a Hellcat for the gas mileage. While you might squeeze out 15-17 mpg on the highway in Eco mode, if you drive this thing the way it was meant to be driven, expect closer to 10-12 mpg. But for the smiles per gallon? Totally worth it.
For Sale: Unbeatable Value
The base MSRP for a 2024 Durango Hellcat hovers around $101,000. When you add the $28,000 in upgrades, the total build cost for this vehicle was roughly $129,000.
We are offering this specific build for $89,900. You are getting a practically new, fully built, widebody Hellcat for significantly less than the sticker price of a stock model.
