After nearly two decades and more than 2 million units, production of the current Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger has finally come to a close. The final Charger and Challenger were completed on Friday.
The final Challenger was a pitch-black example of the SRT Demon 170, a source at the automaker told Road & Track. It is unclear if this was the final Challenger allocation sold for $700,000 back in June or an additional car destined for another purpose, but this was the final "L car" ever produced. The thousand-horsepower Challenger ended a line that also included the Charger, the Chrysler 300, and the short-lived Magnum wagon. Production across the four lines totaled over four million, with 1.4 million 300s and 1.8 million Chargers making up the majority of production.
The final Charger was also produced earlier in the day. That example was a destroyer gray Scat Pack Widebody, capping off a run of nearly 2 million LD-generation Chargers. The final 300C was produced earlier in the month, while the final 300 rolled off the line on December 20.
Although the Charger, Challenger, and 300 as we know them have finished production, Dodge is not getting out of the muscle car business. The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept revealed last August indicates that the brand is moving into electric performance next, and a recent Christmas ad suggests that a production variant of the two-door Charger concept is not far off. A gas-powered variant has not been confirmed just yet, but The Drive reported in October that the car would eventually get the brand's new Hurricane inline-six.
