Rare 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody King Daytona Selling for Cyberbeast Money

The thing is, Hellcats tend to hold onto their value surprisingly well, which is why so many people still buy new or new-ish, as opposed to scouring the ads for the best possible deal. But what if there was a third option available to you?

Alright, full disclosure, there is a third option, thanks to Dodge’s idea of creating these so-called ‘Last Call’ special edition models. These are easily the most collectible ones if depreciation matters to you. They’re rare, and they were built to pay homage to certain special models from the carmaker’s past.

We’re here to talk about the King Daytona special edition, named after the iconic 1969 Dodge Charger King Daytona, raced by William “Big Willie” Robinson. Specifically, this 2023 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody King Daytona, getting auctioned off to the highest bidder with delivery miles (16 miles) on its supercharged 6.2-liter V8.

Aside from its signature Go Mango Pearl exterior, this special edition Charger, which by the way is one of just 300 units produced, also comes with hood pins, power sunroof, rear spoiler, King Daytona graphics, xenon headlights, Bilstein dampers, plus a set of 20-inch seven Y-spoke wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 305/35 at all corners.

Meanwhile, interior highlights include the black Nappa leather and Alcantara heated and ventilated power-adjustable seats, heated rear seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, sat-nav, blind-spot monitoring, dual-zone automatic climate control, the carmaker’s Uconnect 4 touchscreen system, and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel. As you can see, there’s factory plastic on the latter, as well as the shifter, console and seats.

As for what’s happening underneath the hood, that’s where you’ll find the previously mentioned supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 unit, factory rated at 807 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. Also standard is the SRT Power Chiller, which cools the air before it reaches the intakes by using air conditioning refrigerant.

Anyway, all that power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, just like on any other Hellcat-spec Charger.

Last, but not least – there’s a ‘Last Call’ plaque under the hood, and a King Daytona badge on the dashboard towards the passenger side.

The base price for this 2023 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody was $77,900, although all the optional extras (including the King Daytona special edition package), bumped the MSRP all the way to $100,570. That’s a lot for a Charger, but maybe it’s just right for one that may soon become a modern-day collectible.
