2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat: 1,000 More Units To Be Produced

When Dodge announced that it would offer an SRT Hellcat version of its Durango SUV for 2021, the Stellantis Group division said that production would be limited to 2,000 units. However, demand was so strong that many would-be buyers missed out, and so the company decided to add models to its production.

When Dodge announced the added production, it did not specify how many more would be built.  Thr automaker said only that it would take some of the 6.2L V8 Hellcat engines planned for other vehicles and redirect them under the hood of the editions being added to production.

A new report by Muscle Cars & Trucks reveals that another 1,000 Durango SRT Hellcats will be assembled in June, bringing the production run of this 2021-only model to 3,000 units. Recall that Dodge explained at the time of the vehicle’s presentation that, due to stricter environmental standards next year, the product will not be offered in 2022.
