2023 Dodge Charger King Daytona Bows to Drag-Racing Royalty The fifth special edition of Dodge’s “Last Call” has been revealed – the 2023 Dodge Charger King Daytona. Based on The King Daytona, it pays homage to the drag racing legend from the 1960s and 1970s who championed organized racing in an effort to make the streets safer and foster unity among Car lovers. The latest Special Edition shares the title of the 1969 Robinson Charger and brings with it horsepower, bold exterior paint color, unique graphics and interior designations. The King Daytona Special Edition will be the most limited edition yet, with only 300 models slated for production.

The King Daytona color scheme also makes its way inside, with orange Daytona logo on the Nappa and black Alcantara seats, as well as matching stitching on the dashboard, console, steering wheel and door trim. Additional standard features include an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, carbon fiber interior trim, Harman Kardon premium audio system and a standard navigation package.

Two “Last Call” models are still being kept under wraps. The sixth edition will be revealed on September 21, and the final special edition will make its debut at the Specialty Equipment Market Association’s 2022 show in Las Vegas in November. Orders for all “last call” Challenger and Charger models — including the King Daytona — will open this fall, with more details and pricing announced.
