The Dodge brand’s “Last Call” lineup heads into the final lap with a special-edition Dodge that honors a royal racing pedigree: the 2023 Dodge Charger King Daytona.
This fifth “Last Call” Charger traces its family tree to a famous grand poobah of the West Coast drag-racing scene, William “Big Willie” Robinson, who nicknamed his 1969 Dodge Charger “King Daytona” and used it not only in claiming victory at the drag strip but also in keeping racers on the track and off the streets.
The King Daytona pays homage to the original by offering a whopping 807 horsepower HEMI and a Go Mango exterior with signature orange interior accents. Now we’re talkin’.
The 2023 Dodge Charger King Daytona represents the fifth of seven special-edition models that celebrate the gas-powered Challenger and Charger, which are at the end of their lifespans. We brought you updates on the previous “Last Call” models, Dodge Challenger Shakedown, Dodge Charger Super Bee, Dodge Challenger, and Charger Scat Pack Swinger, and the King Charger is the latest piece of the puzzle.
Only two more Dodge “Last Call” models will be announced: one on September 21, 2022, and the seventh and final special-edition model — the very last of its kind — at the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, scheduled for Nov. 1-4, 2022. Go here for more info.
