The end of an era is approaching for one of the most iconic sports cars of our generation. Dodge has declared that the clock is ticking, and you have until the end of July to place your order for the 2023 Challenger and Charger. The automaker has instructed its dealers to gather all orders by the end of this month, with the final vehicles set to roll off the production line “no later than December 31” this year.
Dodge CEO, Tim Kuniskis, emphasizes that this is the last opportunity for enthusiasts to get their hands on a Dodge Challenger or Charger, particularly the high-horsepower models like the Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat, or any special-edition versions. As the company moves towards an electrified muscle car future, this marks the end of an unforgettable chapter for Dodge, and those who wish to own a piece of this history need to act quickly.

The third-generation Challenger made its debut in 2008, making it one of the longest-running vehicles still available in the United States. While its classic shape remains largely unchanged, the modern muscle car has undergone significant enhancements since its original release. With more powerful engines and a wealth of advanced technologies, the 2023 Challenger showcases the evolution of this iconic vehicle. Similarly, the Charger arrived on the scene in 2011, sharing some of its components with the previous-generation sedan unveiled in 2006.
For those seeking to own a part of Dodge’s rich history, the Dodge Horsepower Locator is a valuable resource. It provides information on the remaining available vehicles that can still be ordered through Dodge’s dealer network. From the entry-level SXT model to the latest special edition versions, the selection is still diverse, but these limited models are likely to sell out soon.

While bidding farewell to the legendary Challenger and Charger, Dodge is ushering in a new era of electrified muscle cars. Enthusiasts and collectors alike have until July’s end to secure their place in history and witness the exciting transformation of this iconic brand. With the electrified future already taking shape, Dodge’s legacy promises to continue in the world of high-performance automotive excellence.
