Dodge's Fifth 'Last Call' Edition Will be King of Charger Daytonas

Dodge is calling its 5th ‘Last Call’ Special-Edition the 2023 Dodge Charger King Daytona. The name is throwing it way back to the West Coast drag-racing culture in the 1960s and 1970s. The 2023 Dodge Charger King Daytona upgrades the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody to an 807-horsepower beast. Only 300 of the 2023 Go Mango Charger King Daytonas will be built.

“The special-edition Dodge Charger King Daytona honors a true icon of muscle car history,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. “The final Dodge ‘Last Call’ models will continue to celebrate the legacy of the Dodge Charger and Challenger by paying tribute to two vehicles that hold a special place in our brand’s history.”

Legacy of the Charger King Daytona

William “Big Willie” Robinson nicknamed his 1969 Dodge Charger “King Daytona” and used it for racing at the drag strip. Robinson also used his King Daytona to keep racers coming to the track and off the streets. The 2023 Dodge Charger King Daytona honors the original by boosting performance to 807 horsepower and pairing a Go Mango exterior with unique orange interior accents.
