In stock form, the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is a great contender to the likes of the Lamborghini Urus and Ferrari Purosangue as far as the straight-line performance goes.
However, the pictured example is even punchier than that, and if you paid attention to the title, you know how much power it has. That would be 1,000 hp (1,014 ps/746 kW) courtesy of the H1000 upgrade package signed by Hennessey, with the thrust being rated at 969 lb-ft (1,314 Nm).

The Lone Star State tuner gave it an upgraded supercharger, took care of the crank damper pin assembly, spark plugs, fuel injectors, filtration, and ventilation systems, and also signed the new software. The numbers mentioned above are guaranteed thanks to dyno testing, and various other tests ensure that everything functions accordingly, hence why the tuner can give it a three-year/36,000-mile (57,936-km) warranty.

Finished in black on top of a red leather interior, this Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is a 2023 model with undisclosed mileage. Nevertheless, we suspect it has only the delivery miles under its belt, and even if it doesn't, it's still a great-looking example in top-notch form. It doesn't sport new bumpers and various add-ons at both ends, as everything was fitted during the original assembly at the Detroit factory in Michigan. Well, make that everything bar the added emblems, which are the only things that give away its supercar-slaying nature.

Hennessey won't reveal how fast their super SUV turned hyper is with the H1000 bundle up and running, but the 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) sprint time has probably dropped to around three seconds or less. The stock Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat needs 3.5 seconds aided by the 710 hp (720 ps/530 kW) and 645 lb-ft (875 Nm) of torque produced by the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. The SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Plus, and SRT Hellcat Premium trim levels are equally punchy and fast. The former has an MSRP of $93,605 stateside, and for the other two, shoppers are looking at a minimum of $99,605 and $104,810, respectively.

So, how much do you think Hennessey's tuned copy is? The official ad that you can find here doesn't say, but we found out they're willing to let it go in exchange for $154,950. That's a lot of Benjamins, but then again, it's a lot of car for the money, and it doesn't cost that much compared to an exotic high-riding proposal. A brand-new Lamborghini Urus is estimated to start at around $235,000 in our market, and if you want Ferrari's model, the Purosangue, then you're looking at almost $400,000. The Aston Martin DBX 707 starts at almost $210,000, and the Bentley Bentayga Speed has an MSRP exceeding the $250,000 mark.
