Dodge has unveiled what it claims is the Charger coupe of the seven-seat SUV segment, the Durango SRT complete with a 354kW/637Nm 6.2-litre Hemi V8 engine.

While the Dodge brand dies a slow death in Australia – its last gasp being the unpopular Journey four-cylinder seven seater – it’s a case of all guns blazing and shot-down emissions standards in Trump’s America. Let’s just say, to celebrate the Durango SRT launch, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) released a video of its hulk performing a four-wheel burnout.

With Brembo brakes and a Bilstein multi-mode chassis that in Track mode can prioritise 70 per cent of drive to the rear wheels “for the most pronounced rear-wheel-drive experience” in the segment, it has the gear to haul beyond in only a straight line.
