Dodge is rolling out the next models in its "Last Call" lineup for the 2023 Charger and Challenger: The Swinger special editions. The 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Swinger and 2023 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack Swinger are the third and fourth of seven "Last Call" special editions, that will help mark the end of the road for the models in their current form as Dodge moves forward with electrification with the Daytona SRT EV concept.
The Swinger models - only available in Widebody form - are a modern take on the unique retro style of the Dodge brand's "swinging" muscle car lineup of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The original Dodge Dart Swinger was a member of the Dodge "Scat Pack" club, which Dodge describes as packing formidable horsepower into a compact package. Available features included green-on-green interior/exterior color combinations, gold color accents and wood panel interior touches.
"The name says it all – the originals had a unique, fun character, and that's the same reaction we're hoping for with our 2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T Scat Pack Swinger models," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. "Dodge Swinger models have always held a unique spot in the Dodge muscle-car pantheon, and these modern-day models bring that fun back to life."
Dodge will only build 1,000 each of edition, offered only in Widebody form. You can opt for classic green-on-green with F8 Green and Sublime Green exterior color options, or go for a White Knuckle option.
