The Powerbox uses a supercharged V6 engine that runs on compressed natural gas (CNG) in addition to an electric motor that boosts the acceleration of the Powerbox. The Powerbox can go from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in about seven seconds. The top speed of the Powerbox is 120 mph (193.1 km/h).

Some of the Powerbox's styling would be seen in the second-generation Durango, introduced in 2004.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dodge Tomahawk</span> Concept vehicle

The Dodge Tomahawk is a non-street legal vehicle introduced in 2003 by Dodge at the North American International Auto Show, initially as a one-off concept, and then later that year as a limited production vehicle when DaimlerChrysler announced they would sell hand-built reproductions on order. The Tomahawk attracted significant press and industry attention for its striking design, its outsize-displacement, 10-cylinder car engine, and its four close-coupled wheels, which give it a motorcycle-like appearance. Experts disagreed on whether it is a true motorcycle. The Retro-Art Deco design's central visual element is the 500-horsepower (370 kW), 8.3-litre (510 cu in) V10 SRT10 engine from the Dodge Viper sports car. The Tomahawk's two front and two rear wheels are sprung independently, which would allow it to lean into corners and countersteer like a motorcycle.
