Inside seven legendary sports cars being discontinued in 2023 – from Lamborghini’s Aventador to Ford’s GT
THE New Year is well underway, and a fresh calendar brings an updated list of discontinued vehicles.
Here’s your look at seven iconic sports cars that will be axed from 2023 production, but not forgotten.
Audi R8 (2007-2023)
This year, we mourn the loss of one of Audi’s most fabulous creations, the R8.
There is no business case for them anymore. Mixing petrol and air is dead. Horsepower is dead.
The future is electric, kilowatts, and plug sockets.
Thankfully, Audi’s giving us one last hardcore R8 GT with 600 horsepower and a fixed rear wing.
Dodge Challenger (2008-2023), Dodge Charger (2011-2023)
Dodge’s Challenger took a 25-year pause before making its comeback in 2008.
The most powerful Challenger is the SRT Super Stock with a mind-bending 807 horsepower rating. Dodge’s first-ever Challenger hit the streets in 1970.
The American auto manufacturer will also stop making its Charger, which returned after a 19-year break in 2011 and was first launched in 1966.
Dodge has chosen to discontinue these two gas cars to electrify them in the near-future.
Subaru is investing more in electrification than the gas-powered WRX STI to meet these strict rules.
But the Michigan-based vehicle manufacturer ended up producing 1,350 second-generation GTs to satisfy fans.
Ford made 67 examples of its final-edition GT that was listed at $1.7million.
Deliveries for the 67 limited-run GTs will begin late this Spring, according to .
