According to Dodge, the Durango Hellcat will go from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. That number is backed up by an NHRA certification, and it’s a timeframe that’s normally reserved for fast sports cars. The quarter mile takes just 11.5 seconds for the Dodge, which will eventually reach a top speed of 180 mph. Those are the kinds of numbers you’d expect from something like a Corvette, but when you put an engine under the hood of your three-row SUV that’s producing 710 horsepower, expectations are raised.
When Car and Driver tested a Durango Hellcat, it went from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds — very close to the claimed time from Dodge. The quarter mile was a bit further off the claimed pace from Dodge, taking 12 seconds to complete at 115 mph, but it was definitely close. Those numbers are made all the more impressive when you consider that the Durango Hellcat offers three rows of seating and weighs 5,534 pounds. But how about the Trackhawk?
