In the realm of performance SUVs, there exists a hidden gem from the '90s: the 1999 Dodge Durango Shelby SP 360. A collaboration between Dodge and Shelby resulted in the creation of only 300 of these beasts, each equipped with a supercharged 5.9L V8 engine pumping out a hefty 360 horsepower. This unique SUV stands out with its striking body kit, racing stripes, and iconic blue with white color scheme reminiscent of the Dodge Viper GTS.

Not just a showpiece, the Durango SP 360 boasts more than just visual enhancements. With a front lip spoiler, mesh front grill, and Shelby branding on the exterior, this SUV means business. Inside, the racing bucket seats, carbon fiber trim, and upgraded features elevate the driving experience to a whole new level. The attention to detail extends to the rear, where a unique center console adds a touch of exclusivity.

Under the hood, the SP 360 reveals its true power with a Kenny Bell supercharger and optimized computer system. The suspension and brakes have been upgraded to handle the increased performance, making this SUV not just a looker, but a performer as well. While the interior retains some standard features from the era, such as cheap plastic materials, the overall package of the Dodge Durango Shelby SP 360 is a rare and impressive find for enthusiasts of high-performance SUVs.
