Ungodly grip in the dry, yes, but with next to no tread, and thus a very limited lifespan. I love almost everything about PP2, except those meaty P305/30ZR19 Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Article contentīH: It’s a qualified agreement, kid. They, too, carry the commemorative “Last Call,” “Designed in Auburn Hills,” and “Assembled in Brampton” plaque under the hood.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. We hear only 1,000 units of the Swingers will get made each year, but you’ll still get your kicks from the 2023 Challenger and Charger if you miss out on the Last Call editions. They also come exclusively with the Challenger and Charger's wide-body options.Īs for performance, the Swinger Scat Pack Dodge Charger and Challenger get based on the R/T Scat Pack versions of the Challenger and Charger, which means a 6.4-liter V8 engine generating 485 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque.
Both siblings come with seats trimmed in a combination of Nappa leather and Alcantara. The special “Swinger” detailing penetrates the interior via green accent stitching, wood-like dash inlays, and a green “Swinger” badge on the dash. You can also spice things up with the available White Knuckle color option in the paint palette. If you feel lost in a sea of green due to the F8 Green and Sublime Green exterior color options, just remember they are a memorial of the 1960s and early 1970s ‘swinging’ Dodge muscle cars. The Charger gets a gold badge on the deck lid, while the Challenger gets it on the spoiler. Like its Challenger sibling, the Charger is heavy on the retro styling marked by an unmistakable 1960s Detroit swagger, especially the Scat Pack widebody version. You will get your 2023 Dodge Charger with a special “Last Call” plaque beneath the hood. And that passenger safety we mentioned - well, don’t marry the lamp post. You can consider the new Charger a fire-breathing monster so focused on steroids that it forgot its health. But when you throw in the obscenely powerful V8-powered SRT trim of the 2023 Charger, it isn't a normal day anymore. On a normal day, we’d say the Charger has its challengers in the form of the new Nissan Maxima and the Cadillac CT5 Blackwing. We also realize that aggressive mannerisms might be a little (or a lot) too daredevil-brash for some fans, and we certainly have something against the limited crash-avoidance system, dispiriting IIHS safety record, and cramped rear cabin. Why don't we start with what we like and don't like so much about the 2023 Dodge Charger? We have absolutely nothing against the ride quality, the infotainment system, the enormous V8 options, and that unmistakably aggressive mannerism. So, this might just be your one chance to corner one of these with a supercharged Hellcat drivetrain. We don't know, for sure, what will happen to the platform, but we do know things will take a new (electrified) direction after the 2023 model year.
Revived in 2008, the current Challenger rides on what’s verifiably one of the oldest platforms still sold as ‘new’ cars today, and it seems muscle car fans aren’t eager to say goodbye to the retro-styling just yet. We have the 717-hp Challenger SRT Hellcat sitting as Prince, while the even more aggressive Hellcat Redeye and SRT Super Stock hold the scepters of King and Ruler. But things get a lot more royal with the V8-powered models. We're talking about the base SXT and GT Challenger trims. The Challenger has a reputation for excessive horsepower from the top-ranking versions, and the 2023 Challenger starts with a powerful – though not as boastful - 303 horses produced by a V6 engine. They’re called “Last Call” editions – just before everything gets lit up by electrification, as the Challenger with its Charger sibling gets phased out to make way for a new all-electric replacement in 2024. Many things are new for the 2023 model year, but the most important is that the American muscle car brand is coming with high-power special editions as a goodbye gift to all Dodge faithful far and near.
