Dodge muscle cars will go electric, but first it's building the world's most powerful SUV
Fiat Chrysler's Head of Passenger Car Brands, Tim Kuniskis, says the future of muscle cars is electric, but the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat gets its power form a supercharged V8.
The most powerful SUV will cost less than the most-powerful American car. Just.
The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, which is powered by a 710 hp V8, will be priced at $82,490 including delivery when the order books open this fall.
