The final Dodge Challenger to come off the assembly line is the high-performance SRT Demon 170 edition.
Automotive News Canada reports that production of the Dodge Challenger came to a close on December 22 at the Brampton assembly plant in Canada, marking the end of a 15-year run for this iconic muscle car. The assembly line L at the Brampton plant was filled with engineers and mechanics who gathered to witness the historic moment.
The last Dodge Challenger to roll off the assembly line is the high-performance SRT Demon 170 edition. It features a Pitch Black exterior paint with gold accents on the front bumper and wheels.
This version of the Dodge Challenger is the most powerful iteration, equipped with a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine that produces a staggering 1,039 horsepower and 1,280 Nm of torque when using E85 fuel. The Challenger SRT Demon 170 can accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h in just 1.66 seconds. On the drag strip, it completes the quarter-mile in 8.91 seconds with a top speed of 243.28 km/h.
According to designer Ralph Gilles, while the exterior design of the Challenger has remained largely unchanged over the years, the technology and interior have evolved significantly. For instance, the Challenger was one of the first cars to feature a touch screen infotainment system. It is also the last car to use the Chrysler LX platform, which has been in use since 2004.
Carscoops reports that the Challenger has consistently outsold its rivals, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Even during the economic downturn, the Dodge Challenger maintained impressive sales figures.
In August 2022, Stellantis, the parent company of Dodge, announced the discontinuation of models that made the brand famous. The decision was driven by increasingly stringent emission standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Dodge also introduced the “Last Call” product line as a final tribute to its loyal customers.
Following the final Dodge Challenger’s departure from the assembly line, the Brampton plant will undergo a technological transition to produce electric vehicles in the future.
