Dodge is telling its dealers to get orders for 2023 “Last Call” HEMI-powered Challenger and Charger models in by the end of July. The cars will be built no later than December 31, 2023. At that point, Dodge will shut down production of the HEMI-powered muscle cars and start working on a production version of its first EV muscle car, the 2024 Charger Daytona SRT Electric Muscle Car Concept.
“For enthusiasts looking to order a Dodge Challenger or Charger, especially a high-horsepower model, such as the Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat or a special-edition model, it’s truly the last call for the ‘Last Call,’” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand CEO - Stellantis. “As we transition to an exciting, electrified muscle car future, we’re marking the end of an unforgettable era for Dodge, and time is running out for those who want to own a piece of it.”
How to Order a 2023 Dodge “Last Call” Challenger or Charger
Potential buyers can locate a Dodge “Last Call” model through the Dodge Horsepower Locator tool at DodgeGarage.com. The vehicles range from the entry-level SXT to the special-edition models. The buyer can then contact a dealer to place an order. The Dodge Horsepower Locator helps customers by providing information on vehicles still available for ordering through a dealer. The Horsepower Locator allows fans to search all Dodge dealerships by zip code, model, special-edition model and trim level for available Dodge Challengers and Chargers. All of the “Last Call” models were allocated to specific dealerships.
2023 Dodge Charger/Challenger “Last Call” Highlights
The Dodge "Last Call" commemorates the end of the two iconic vehicles in their current forms. The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 represents the seventh and final Dodge "Last Call" special-edition model. Six Dodge "Last Call" models were previously introduced: the Dodge Challenger Shakedown, Dodge Charger Super Bee, Dodge Challenger and Charger Scat Pack Swinger, Dodge Charger King Daytona and Dodge Challenger Black Ghost.
In addition to the seven “Last Call” special-edition models, Dodge is also celebrating its 2023 model lineup by bringing back three famous exterior colors, B5 Blue, Plum Crazy purple and Sublime green. It also is highlighting one popular modern color, Destroyer Grey. 2023 Charger and Challenger R/T models will also feature new “345” fender badging, a callout to the 345-cubic-inch HEMI engine under the hood, and all 2023 Dodge Charger and Challenger models will carry a special commemorative “Last Call” underhood plaque.
