We have planned to immediately take this Durango to the nearest Drive-in today, because that's how it's done in the States, but before we leave, let's take a closer look at this car, including the masterpiece called the engine. If you can find the opening mechanism. After which you can see the dimensions of this drive, which are definitely extreme. The Supercharger sticks out from above, it's just slapped on the giant V8 engine. In total, we have a power of 719 hp and a volume of 6.2 liters, as well as 889 Nm of torque.

If you're wondering what a hemi engine actually means, I admit I had to look it up too. It turns out that the word is short for hemisphere. In this case, it means that the cylinder head is shaped like a hemisphere, which means that the intake and exhaust valves are slightly opposite each other, and can be larger, because a hemisphere ultimately has a larger surface area than a straighter surface, thus obtaining a higher compression ratio and thus subsequently having more power.

We move accordingly to the back and we see that there are some adaptations here too. Naturally, a Hellcat apron, as well as a Hellcat exhaust system, as it should be. It is a bit quieter compared to the Challenger Hellcat or Charger Hellcat. And why is that? Due to the fact that the Durango is ultimately a family car. Here in Europe, this is probably not noticeable, maybe because we always see the car with sports tuning, while in the US it is something like an Opel Zafira for us. A vehicle for the family. Accordingly, it needs a large trunk. Let's see, we have placed all possible rows of seats, there are three of them, but still there is quite a lot of space for luggage.
