The 700-HP Hellcat-Powered Dodge Durango is Real and It’s AmazingPlum

Floored Designs from Arizona is the mad scientist behind the build

You might think that the 707-horsepower (527 kilowatts) Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk motor is absurd. But, imagine the same Hellcat engine under the hood of a three row Dodge Durango. Plum Floored Creations in Arizona will provide you with the 700-horsepower family hauler that you have been dreaming about, plus an additional, of course.

For a cool $45,000, interested parties can have their Durango R/T 2010 or later model years fixed up with Hellcat treatment. This is a very affordable price for an SUV that’s much more powerful than many modern supercars, according to most Mopar enthusiasts.

The same 6.2-liter supercharged, supercharged V8 is under the hood as the Charger, Challenger and Grand Cherokee. Durangos manufactured between 2010 and 2013 will have the stock 2.3-liter supercharged replaced by a larger, 2.9-liter unit. The supercharger and stock engine will remain for Durangos built between 2010 and 2013. The Durango’s 698 horsepower (520 Kilowatts) at its crank and 570 horsepower (425 Kilowatts), at the wheels, according to this dyno.

This power is paired with a new six-speed ATS Stage Three transmission that’s heavy-duty and has Brembo Brakes with four-piston calipers at the front and six-piston calipers at the back. New 22-inch aluminum wheels are wrapped in 285/40 rubber. Although the front and rear driveshafts were replaced, the ales and differential are still in stock. They send 698 horsepower (520 kW) each way to all four wheels.

The Durango’s launch control system is not like that of the Grand Cherokee. It travels at just under 60 mph (96 km/h) at 6,000 rpm. Although it’s still quite fast, it is probably not as fast as it used to be. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk can sprint to 60 (96 kmh), in 3.5 seconds. So the Durango Hellcat should not be too far behind.

It’s a Dodge Durango with a nearly 700-hp engine, which is amazing.
