Right now, it is decidedly interesting to note that Dodge is at a significant crossroads. On one side, there are the 2023 model year vehicles that partly represent the dying past; on the other, there's the 2024 model year future.
Currently, the latter is only represented by the first-ever Hornet – a crossover SUV twinned with the Alfa Romeo Tonale CUV and motivated by a 2.0-liter inline-four Hurricane 4 mill in GT form or a smaller yet cooler 1.4-liter turbo engine hooked to EV technology for a mighty PHEV assembly. But soon, it will be joined by the successor to the ICE-powered Charger and Challenger lifestyle – the production version of the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept.

It will arrive – probably for the 2025 model year – with nine levels of Banshee EV prowess, and it will make both the Charger sedan and Challenger muscle car obsolete. That means soon there will be just one nameplate solely with ICE power under the hood – the three-row Durango mid-size crossover SUV. So, perhaps it's best to snatch one while you still can if you want to carry your family just about everywhere, including to the track.

That is also possible thanks to the reintroduction of the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, which trumps all other trims and engine options with 710 horsepower and MSRPs starting from at least $93k and potentially surging to almost $105k without even taking any options into account. Well, after you bought it, there is still the problem of standing out in any crowd, at any time (and, perhaps, at all costs). Anyway, if you need a custom Durango SRT Hellcat, look no further than the good folks over at Atlanta, Georgia-based Road Show International.

To show us they mean business, they have yet another 'subtle' treat that may or may not cause fans to run amok crying for their Durango lifestyle. This is certainly not the first time the Atlanta, Georgia-based automotive dealership and aftermarket outlet has modified a Dodge with three rows of seats and the appearance of a hulking SUV, so we are sure they have proper experience with their custom RS Edition builds.

Awkwardly enough, unlike other Durango treats like the black-on-red 1,010-hp example they presented not long ago, now the team chose to 'forget' about the juicy details. No worries, we can easily extrapolate based on the looks and additional elements like the forged carbon fiber trim details or the aFe Power (Advanced Flow Engineering) goodies. So, we reckon quite a few ponies are hiding under the hood alongside the stock 710 ones and that all the red details are made to shine at and around the local racetrack.

Plus, the design is a bit more unconventional with a matte green paint or wrap seconded by massive, double black stripes with red pinstriping – and everything is topped, or bottomed, with help from the Forgiato Designs-built humongous red-and-black aftermarket wheels that are probably at least 24 inches or even 26 inches in size. The daring look is also composed with help from the all-black greenhouse, while inside, there's burgundy all over – alongside the aforementioned forged carbon fiber details. So, do we give it our aftermarket hall pass, or is the matte green with black stripes and red details a little too outrageous for your taste?
