7aMoDi Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 One thousand units will be produced. What will set them apart? Alex KiersteinWriterManufacturerPhotographerJan 9, 2024 AleThe Dodge Durango's Hemi V-8 engine is dead … almost. And while it's still around (for the rest of 2024, we mean), Dodge intends to milk as much as it can out of the long-running and potent configuration with a series of Last Call models like those released for the Challenger and Charger. The first is the SRT 392 AlcHEMI … which, despite its pun-esque name and the Demon 170's heavily promoted, ethanol-swilling powertrain, has nothing to do with alcohol. Instead, the SRT 392 AlcHEMI relies on the steadfast (and potent) 475 ponies and 470 lb-ft of twist produced by its 6.4-liter Hemi. No horsepower alchemy here, just the same ol' same ol'. (It's plenty. The blown motors get all the attention but the Durango SRT 392 is legitimately quick, and it sounds great.) In place of additional go, the AlcHEMI is mainly show. There are a host of yellow accents to compliment the four main exterior colors (Diamond Black, Destroyer Gray. Vapor Gray, and White Knuckle—250 of each will be available) applied to the brake calipers, fender decals, exterior stripes, and interior accent stitching. The 20x10 inch wheels and exhaust tips are dipped in black paint, and the grille and lift gate badges are darkened as well. If you want one, Dodge is sprinkling these AlcHEMI editions around to dealers that did well on their January sales targets. But you won't need to call around and quiz the new car sales managers about their performance; instead, you can use the Dodge Horsepower Locator to identify a nearby dealer who'll be getting one of these Last Call Durangos starting in May of 2024. The AlcHEMI appearance package will add $3,595 to the bottom line of a Durango SRT 392 Premium. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2024-dodge-durango-srt-392-last-call-alchemi/
