Dodge pushes back unveiling of the 1FAST29 Challenger due to product and supply challenges.

"Dodge hasn’t announced a specific date of when it will unveil the new car. But we expect that it will probably be shown off sometime in Q1 2023."

Dodge Pushes Back Final 'Last Call" 2023 Dodge Challenger!

LOL. Just more vaporware along with their DC stuff. Not surprised. Going downhill fast, with a tailwind, and not under hemi power anymore...

What kind of product & supply chain issues can a manufacturer have building 1 car for SEMA? This makes the Direct Connection roll out look brilliant.

Yeah! A focus group probably said people would collapse looking at it!!!!!!!!!

They must be waiting on the unobtainium Direct Connection parts to finish it!!
Can't even built 1 car, what a shame.

I agree. Reality has set in with how many Redeye engines are left & the Direct Connection bad joke has them in a pickle. Stickers & Jail Break base hellcats for ‘23.

Imma call BS on supply shortage. It's something else.

A lack of testosterone at Stellantis. The global pronouns have a new vision for muscular vehicles.

I concur. SEMA cars built by manufacturers don't have to pass any type of regulatory standards. The cars and parts are or can be one-off prototypes built by their skunkworks. I have a feeling that someone way higher up just declared that "recess is over" and now all the kids have to go back to regular boring high school classes.

Similar thing happened several decades ago when Team Viper was disbanded. I had a lot of interactions with those guys back in the early 1990's when they were the cool kids and could do anything they wanted. I still have a basement full of stuff they sent me back then for testing...like the original set of no-cat side exhaust used on the actual 1991 Viper Indy 500 Pace Car program. (The long muffler set at the top of the photo)

Dodge says they listen to their consumers. Maybe they've been reading all the negative comments about their last "Decal" editions. Hopefully "the team" decided whatever they had in the works, was not the way they wanted to end the hellcat era. I won't hold my breathe!!! lol

 

[srt_blubyu]

yea.. not sure about that. unless theyre only checking ticktok and EVgreenweenie.com.. it was really telling all the guest youtubers of the dodge EV unveiling are proclaiming it super awesomeness... lame

 

[OKSS]

Sure hope they don't make the 909hp WB Redeye Challenger the only ICE model available for ....... 2024.

 

[njsteve]

Yeah, just a single, solitary car that will be the basis for the ultimate contest: to see who can get the highest ADM for a car.
They will have Roman Gladiator style games with the last surviving dealer getting the car. - similar to how they used to give the Rudis (the wooden sword) to the surviving gladiator who won his freedom.

They can't build my car that's been on order for 1/2 a year, yet they build a few pilot MY23 cars but can't build their new halo car for SEMA, WTF? Yeah Tim K keep up the good work, your putting Dodge right in the grave.

 

[dsb]

If this final version has 900+hp, then the previous Demon will lose its core selling point and depreciate like a normal car

^^^ did a spit take when I read that. LOL. thanks.

 

[riddic99]

They already had a car under the cover, so this supply chain excuse is nonsense. Perhaps it's the e85 model and they are running into snags with emissions...
