Dodge’s fifth and final ‘Last Call’ tease video is called ‘Trip Wire’. It offers the best clue yet, to the final commemorative 2023 Dodge Challenger or Charger. Dodge has already released information about six of the commemorative vehicles but has kept this last one a mystery. In the last tease, the leprechaun monster again takes center stage.
The Final 'Last Call' Tease is called Trip Wire
The leprechaun monster appears to rocket in to Las Vegas reveal the final special-edition 2023 Dodge Challenger or Charger. The big clue seems to be that our crazed leprechaun blows past the speed of 140 mph. That 140 mph just happens to be the speed that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon did for the quarter mile. So, it appears the new vehicle will be a Challenger that can outperform even the legendary Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. We will find out tomorrow night.
We learned last Monday that the seventh and final 2023 “Last Call” special-edition will kick out some huge power. The fourth tease titled “HEMI Vice” shows the leprechaun that has starred in the other teases using a jackhammer. The V-8 jackhammer is pounding out 2538 PSI.

Dodge is promising that “The seventh and final 2023 Dodge "Last Call" special-edition model will possess power to demolish drag strips and harness mind-boggling horsepower.”
Expanding the 'Last Call' Celebration
To build even more excitement for the release of the final “Last Call’ model, Dodge expanded its festival in Las Vegas. Dodge opened up the Las Vegas venue this weekend for Dodge product displays, Dodge Thrill Rides and vehicle simulators.
We learned in the third tease that the final “Last Call model will be capable of 215 mph. That tease was called “Scream @ 215 mph”.

‘Last Call’ Models Commemorate Famous Past Challengers and Chargers
Dodge has already revealed the six other “Last Call” commemorative models and has promised that it is saving the best for last. The iconic muscle cars are nearing the end of their production run at the plant in Brampton, Ontario. Dodge plans to shut down the plant on December 31, 2023. Dodge is holding a huge festival to celebrate the gas-powered muscle cars. Dodge’s EV muscle car concept called the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT will also be celebrated at the same Road Kill Nights Festival in Las Vegas, where the seventh Challenger or Charger is unveiled.
The second video rease called “Density Matters” offered another clue to the identity of the ultimate Dodge performance vehicle.
In the video, it appears that the Leprechaun and Mr. Hyde are determining their weight difference, suggesting that the last model will have a huge engine.

The first tease showed a Leprechaun working in a lab morphing into what appears to be “Mr. Hyde”, from “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. It would suggest one of the regular Challenger or Charger models transforms into a beast!
