Whoever said you ‘can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ never encountered a Dodge Challenger as the muscle car continues to improve with age.
Despite being on death’s door, the Challenger is going out with a bang as the seventh and final Last Call special edition could have a top speed of 215 mph (346 km/h). While that remains to be seen, the third teaser is called “Scream @ 215 mph” and the company said it “hints at a key to unlocking the full power of the ultimate Dodge vehicle.”

Besides the aforementioned hints, the company released a video showing a leprechaun screaming into a wind speed gauge. It reads “105 @ [3.02 x 2.98] = 1582.” If you do the math, that works out to be “105 @ 8.9996 = 1582.”
This seemingly has something to do with quarter mile times, but you’d expect a 1320 reference instead of 1582. However, it’s possible the 105 could be referring to octane, while 8.9996 is the quarter mile time.
Regardless of what those numbers mean, the Last Call special edition will debut at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 20th. Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis has previously told us the car will have an upgraded Hellcat engine and there’s little doubt the company is aiming to surpass the Challenger SRT Demon, which had a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 developing up to 840 hp (626 kW / 851 PS) and 770 lb-ft (1,042 Nm) of torque. This enabled the model to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 2.3 seconds and run the quarter mile in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph (225 km/h).
