The Dodge brand is marking two decades of HEMI®-powered excellence in the Dodge Durango lineup with the introduction of two special-edition models: the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and the Dodge Durango R/T 20th Anniversary. These new editions pay homage to the enduring legacy of the HEMI engine in one of the most formidable three-row performance SUVs on the market.
A Legacy of Power: HEMI® and the Dodge Durango
Since the 2004 model year, the HEMI engine has been a cornerstone of the Dodge Durango’s performance, beginning with the introduction of the 5.7L HEMI as an option. Over the years, this powerful engine has been integral to the Durango’s reputation as a high-performance SUV. The new 2025 special-edition models celebrate this legacy, offering enthusiasts and families alike a unique blend of power, performance, and premium features.
“The HEMI engine has fueled the Dodge Durango for 20 years, and the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 HEMI engine option transforms the Durango into the most powerful SUV ever,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge brand CEO – Stellantis. “The Dodge Durango and the HEMI engine form a powerful pair, and with this announcement, Dodge continues to deliver HEMI power to enthusiasts and families alike.”
Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet: The Pinnacle of Power and Style
Building on the already impressive Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, the 2025 Silver Bullet edition pushes the envelope even further. This limited-production model is not only the most powerful SUV ever produced but also the first special-edition variant of the Durango SRT Hellcat. Available in the striking Triple Nickel exterior color, the Silver Bullet is loaded with exclusive features that elevate both its performance and visual appeal.
Key Features:
- Exterior Enhancements: The Satin Black painted hood, grey metallic SRT Hellcat badging, and SRT black exhaust tips create a bold, aggressive look. The Satin Black Dodge taillamp badge and red six-piston Brembo brakes add further distinction.
- Unique Wheels: The 20-by-10-inch Lights Out finished wheels are both lightweight and stylish, perfectly complementing the Silver Bullet’s performance capabilities.
- Interior Upgrades: Inside, the Silver Bullet offers Ebony Red Nappa leather seats—featured for the first time on a Durango SRT—with sepia stitching and embroidered SRT Hellcat logos. The cabin is further enhanced with a premium wrapped instrument panel, forged carbon-fiber accents, and a suede steering wheel with silver and sepia stitching.
The heart of the Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet is its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine, paired with a TorqueFlite 8HP95 eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers staggering performance, with the SUV capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and achieving a top speed of 180 mph.
Dodge Durango R/T 20th Anniversary: Honoring Two Decades of Muscle
The 2025 Dodge Durango R/T 20th Anniversary edition celebrates 20 years of HEMI power in the brand’s three-row muscle SUV. This special-edition model combines performance-focused features with a range of premium options, making it a fitting tribute to the Durango’s enduring legacy.
Key Features:
- Distinctive Design: The Black HEMI hood graphic, “345” fender badging with Brass Monkey accents, and 20-by-10-inch Y-spoke forged lightweight Brass Monkey wheels give the Durango R/T 20th Anniversary a unique and muscular appearance.
- Performance Upgrades: Equipped with the Tow N Go package, this model includes performance-tuned steering, adaptive damping suspension, Brembo brakes, and an active exhaust, along with an impressive towing capacity of 8,700 lbs.

The Plus trim adds a power sunroof, nine-speaker Alpine audio system, and a suite of safety features, while the Premium trim includes a 19-speaker Harman Kardon system, suede headliner, and Advanced Brake Assist, among other upgrades.
