Dodge’s “Last Call” initiative has garnered attention in recent years, signaling the impending retirement of the HEMI engine alongside the Challenger and Charger models. Despite their imminent departure, Dodge aims to give these iconic vehicles a memorable farewell.
The Dodge Challenger and Charger have long been known for their rebellious spirit and distinctive character. With the decision to retire the HEMI V8 engines, Dodge is emphasizing that this is truly the last opportunity to experience their unmatched power.
The HEMI engine has a rich history dating back to the early 1950s, originally introduced as the Chrysler FirePower before being adopted by Dodge as the “Red Ram.”
Over the years, the HEMI has evolved, with the latest generation featuring advanced technology despite the iconic hemispherical combustion chamber no longer being utilized.
In acknowledgment of the end of an era, Dodge has introduced seven special edition models, each celebrating the legacy of the Challenger and Charger. These models, including the powerful 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, serve as a testament to the remarkable performance of ICE-powered muscle cars.
