The internal combustion engine muscle car era is winding down for the Dodge brand of Stellantis in Auburn Hills as the automaker’s “Last Call” to order the Challenger and Charger in their current HEMI-engine-powered forms is heating up.
Dodge is directing dealers to submit all orders for the 2023 Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger by the end of July.
The Dodge “Last Call” commemorates the end of the two iconic vehicles in their current forms. All 2023 Dodge Charger and Challenger models will carry a special commemorative “Last Call” under-hood plaque, and seven Dodge “Last Call” special-edition models were introduced to help celebrate the end of an era.
Enthusiasts can locate a Dodge “Last Call” model — ranging from the entry-level SXT to a special-edition model — through the Dodge Horsepower Locator tool at DodgeGarage.com, 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 enthusiasts to search all Dodge dealerships by zip code, model, special-edition model, and trim level for Challenger and Charger vehicle order availability.
Fewer than six months remain until the final vehicles roll off the line. Production of 2023 Dodge Charger and Challenger vehicles will end no later than Dec. 31.
“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,’” says Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge brand for 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.”
The all-new 2024 hybrid Dodge Hornet R/T is set to arrive in the U.S. this month, joining the Dodge Hornet GT on dealership lots. The Dodge Hornet R/T represents the first-ever performance electrified vehicle from Dodge and delivers what the automaker calls the most powerful compact utility vehicle in the segment with 288 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Dodge Hornet R/T offers 32 miles of all-electric range via a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery, 77 MPGe and 360 miles of total range, as well as a class-exclusive, on-demand PowerShot feature that supplies a burst of 30 horsepower, resulting in a 0 to 60 mph time of 5.6 seconds.
