Dodge Reveals ‘Last Call’ Challenger Shakedown

Dodge has revealed the first of the brand’s “Last Call” lineup of seven special edition 2023 models, the automaker announced.

The 2023 Dodge Challenger Shakedown pays tribute to the original Dodge Shakedown Challenger concept, which appeared at the 2016 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas. The special-edition 2023 Dodge Challenger Shakedown follows the original’s theme of a black-and-red interior and exterior that fuses a modern and vintage feel.

Six special edition Challenger and Charger models will be revealed through September. The seventh and final 2023 Dodge model will be revealed at the 2022 SEMA Show.

“Dodge Speed Week may be over, but our brand is far from finished in shaking up the muscle car world,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. “We’re following up Speed Week reveals of the future of electrified muscle in the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept and our first electrified vehicle in the 2023 Dodge Hornet R/T by announcing six special, commemorative-edition models in a little over a month.”

Only 1,000 special-edition models are planned for production: 500 Dodge Challenger Shakedown R/T Scat Pack (in Destroyer Grey) and 500 Challenger Shakedown R/T Scat Pack Widebody (in Pitch Black) vehicles will be produced.

Special-edition Dodge Challenger Shakedown models will come with the Plus Group, Technology Group, Navigation, Carbon/Suede and Dynamics Packages (for Challenger R/T Scat Pack).
