By now, you have heard that Dodge is winding down its production of its gas-powered 2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger models. I have reported at length about all of the different Last Call special-editions that you can order to commemorate the high-performance vehicles. Now, Mopar is getting in on the action. Mopar is producing two limited-edition packages that can be ordered on the 2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T Scat Pack Widebody models. The interior and exterior upgrades will be available straight from the factory.
“Our iconic two-door and four-door muscle cars from Dodge are perfect vehicles to continue our annual tradition of offering exclusive, performance-oriented, low-volume packages of quality-tested, factory-backed performance parts and accessories from the Mopar Custom Shop,” said Mike Koval, head of Mopar North America. “With striking matte black and Mopar Blue accents, both Mopar ‘23 models will turn heads and be sought after by performance enthusiasts and collectors alike.”
Limited-Editions of the 2023 Mopar Challenger and Charger Models
There will only be 440 of the Mopar upgraded vehicles available, 220 of each model. Two hundred Challengers and two hundred Chargers will be produced for the United States and 20 of each for Canada.
Exterior Mopar Upgrades
Both Mopar ‘23 models are available only in Pitch Black Clear Coat with unique matte-black graphics and Mopar Blue tracer stripes along the hood, roof and decklid. More custom touches include a bespoke Mopar Blue grille badge, Mopar Blue brake calipers behind forged carbon-black wheels and Mopar valve stem caps. An exclusive all-new carbon-fiber decklid spoiler is being used for the first time and is available only on Mopar ‘23 models.
