The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is going out in style. Lots of styles.

Dodge is rolling out a line of special edition versions of the 710 hp SUV to mark what is expected to be its last year, but you never know.

The seven passenger vehicle is the last to feature the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 and was originally scheduled to go out of production after the 2024 model year, but that was extended in to 2025.

The latest is the Durango SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey, which resurrects a trim that has been used in years past on various Dodge models.
