Dodge enthusiasts and Mopar fans have something to look forward to as the iconic Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger are set to receive Mopar limited editions for the final time in their current form. With the impending end of production for the Challenger and Charger after the 2023 model year, the Mopar ’23 editions will serve as a fitting send-off for these beloved models.
The Mopar ’23 editions will be based on the Challenger and Charger R/T Scat Pack Widebody variants. These special editions will feature an exclusive color combination of Pitch Black Clear Coat with matte-black stripes and blue tracer stripes, adding a touch of style and uniqueness to the vehicles. In addition, they will boast blue brake calipers and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler, further accentuating their sporty and aggressive appearance.
Keeping with the Widebody package, the Mopar ’23 editions will come with 20-inch wheels finished in Carbon Black. The 3.5-inch fender flares, Pirelli P Zero summer tires, and adaptive dampers from the standard Widebody models will also be carried over, ensuring enhanced handling and performance.
Under the hood, both the Challenger and Charger Mopar ’23 editions will be powered by the familiar 6.4-liter V-8 engine. This powerhouse will deliver the same 485 horsepower as before, providing exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling driving experience. While the Charger models will only be available with an 8-speed automatic transmission, Challenger owners will have the option to choose between the 8-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual transmission, allowing for a more engaging and personalized driving experience.

The seats will be upholstered in a luxurious mix of nappa leather and Alcantara, providing both comfort and sportiness. Each car will also feature a serialized plaque to highlight its uniqueness and exclusivity. Furthermore, owners will receive an owner’s kit that includes a certificate of authenticity and a rendering of the car from the Mopar design team, adding to the overall ownership experience.
Production of the Mopar ’23 editions will be limited to just 220 units of each model, with 200 units allocated for the U.S. market and 20 units for Canada.

Dodge plans to begin production of the Mopar ’23 editions in September, with the first deliveries expected in October. They will be among the final vehicles produced in the current-generation Challenger and Charger lineup. As previously announced, Dodge is taking final orders for both models as production is set to cease at the end of the year in order to prepare the Brampton, Ontario, Canada, plant for EV production. While this marks the end of an era for the Challenger and Charger in their current form, Dodge has already revealed plans for their future. Both nameplates are expected to live on as electric vehicles (EVs), with Dodge teasing an electric muscle car set to debut in 2024 with the Charger Daytona concept.
In conclusion, the Mopar ’23 editions of the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger serve as a fitting farewell to these iconic models in their current form. With exclusive color combinations, performance enhancements, and luxurious interior upgrades, these limited editions are a testament to the enduring appeal and timeless design of the Challenger and Charger. As Dodge gears up for its EV future, these Mopar ’23 editions symbolize the end of an era and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the Dodge brand’s history.
