Dodge is taking final orders for gas-powered Challenger and Charger

Dodge's Challenger and Charger muscle cars will be retired after 2023, including the Hemi V-8 line, which includes the Hellcat, along with the gas engine. They were to be taken away.

If you've been dreaming of ordering one and haven't pulled the trigger yet, there's still a little time, but not a lot.

Dodge announced Monday that it has instructed dealers to submit final orders for the 2023 Challenger and Charger by the end of July.

Production of the two models will end by the end of this year, after which the plant in Brampton, Canada, where they are built, will undergo a major upgrade to accommodate electric vehicles. The upgrade is expected to be completed by 2025.

Dodge has not announced the end of the Challenger and Charger. It is expected that successors will be offered, but they will be EVs. Dodge has already teased an electric muscle car with the Charger Daytona Concept, which is expected to arrive in 2024.

To mark the end of the current car and its gas engine, Dodge has rolled out a series of seven special edition vehicles known as Last Call Cars. At the top of the series is the wild Challenger SRT Demon 170, which, when running on E85 fuel, delivers 1,025 hp and can go from a standstill to 60 mph in just 1.66 seconds on a well-maintained road surface.

The last Challenger SRT Demon 170 build slot sold for $700,000 at a Las Vegas auction last month.

For those who missed out on one of the last-call cars, all 2023 Challenger and Charger models come with special goodies that indicate they are one of the last. This varies from model to model, but all models come with a commemorative plaque under the hood that reads "Last Call," "Designed in Auburn Hills," and "Assembled in Brampton."

To secure the last one, Dodge has a Dodge Horsepower Locator on its websitewww.DodgeGarage.com.。このウェブ機能は、エントリーレベルのSXTから特別仕様車まで、ディーラーに割り当てられた残りのチャレンジャーとチャージャーの在庫を表示する。また、ユーザーがディーラーに連絡して注文することもできる。

"Order a Dodge Challenger or Charger, especially the higher horsepower models like the Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat, and special editions. For enthusiasts looking to order one, this is the very last call," said Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis in a statement. As we move into an exciting, electrified muscle car future, it signals the end of an unforgettable era for Dodge, and time is running out for those who want to own a piece of it."
