The Dodge Challenger and Charger died, again. Production of the two iconic muscle cars came to an end with a Pitch Black Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. The Brampton plant in Canada will now be retooled to produce electric muscle cars, potentially resurrecting one or both of the nameplates in some form.
