Dodge has started the project of transitioning its internal combustion muscle into a time when electricity takes the place of a HEMI. Part of this is the retirement of two iconic models, the Dodge Charger and Challenger models.
But they’re not going to be going quietly. And part of that has a lot to do with paint.
As Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand CEO, puts it of what’s happening, “We are celebrating the end of an era—and the start of a bright new electrified future — by staying true to our brand.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody in B5 Blue. Beneath that hood not only is there a 717-hp HEMI, but a plaque noting this is a “Last Call” version of the vehicle.
“At Dodge, we never lift, and the brand will mark the last of our iconic Charger and Challenger nameplates in their current form in the same way that got us here, with a passion both for our products and our enthusiasts that drives us to create as much uniqueness in the muscle car community and marketplace as possible.”
