The legendary Dodge Super Bee name is back, and it returns with more power than ever before. Dodge has officially unveiled the 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, calling it the quickest, fastest, and most powerful Super Bee ever built. Instead of a traditional V8, the new model uses a heavily upgraded twin-turbocharged inline-six engine that produces an impressive 600 horsepower.
The new Super Bee celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Dodge Charger and brings major upgrades in performance, handling, cooling, and braking. Here’s everything we know so far.
A new era for the Super Bee
The Super Bee first appeared in 1968 before joining the Charger lineup in 1971. It returned several times over the years, but the 2027 model is the most powerful production Super Bee ever created. Dodge has confirmed that it will be offered as a limited-production Launch Edition.
Unlike previous generations powered by HEMI V8 engines, the new Super Bee is built on Dodge’s latest Charger platform and uses the company’s advanced SIXPACK High Output Hurricane engine.
600 horsepower from a twin-turbo inline-six
The biggest talking point is what sits under the bonnet. The new Charger Super Bee features a specially tuned version of Dodge’s 3.0-litre twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six engine.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 3.0-litre twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six |
| Maximum Power | 600 hp (SAE-certified) |
| Maximum Torque | 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) |
| Transmission | 8-speed Torqueflite 880RE automatic |
| Drive System | All-wheel drive with selectable RWD mode |
| 0–60 mph | 3.6 seconds |
| Quarter Mile | 11.8 seconds |
To reach 600 horsepower, Dodge fitted larger Garrett turbochargers, revised engine tuning, an improved intake system, upgraded intercooling, and a redesigned exhaust. The result is 115 horsepower more than the last V8-powered Super Bee and 50 horsepower more than the current Charger SIXPACK Scat Pack.
Performance upgrades go far beyond the engine
Dodge didn’t simply add more power. The Super Bee receives extensive mechanical upgrades to help it perform consistently on both the road and the track.
- Larger 20-inch forged wheels with 305-section Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tyres
- Massive 16-inch Brembo brakes with six-piston front calipers
- Dual-valve adaptive suspension with Continuous Damping Control
- New Track Mode and Drag Mode for maximum performance
The company also strengthened parts of the driveline and increased cooling capacity by more than 50 percent to help the car handle repeated hard acceleration and track driving.
Aggressive styling with exclusive details
The 2027 Super Bee stands out from the standard Charger with unique styling elements designed for the Launch Edition.
Expected exterior highlights include:
- Exclusive Super Bee graphics and badges
- New performance front fascia with improved airflow
- Hyper Lime brake calipers
- Three exclusive exterior colours, including Sucker Punch and Diamond Black
Inside, buyers will find high-back performance seats with embroidered Super Bee logos, Sour Lemon contrast stitching, and a Super Bee dashboard badge. Dodge has also added the new Drive Experience Recorder, developed with Cosworth, allowing drivers to record track sessions and performance data.
New driving technology
The Super Bee introduces several new performance-focused technologies not previously available on a SIXPACK-powered Charger.
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Track Mode | Optimises handling for circuit driving |
| Drag Mode | Improves launch performance |
| RWD Button | Sends available torque to the rear wheels |
| Launch Control | Faster and more consistent starts |
| Drive Experience Recorder | Records driving and track data |
These features are designed to give drivers more control whether they are driving on public roads or taking the car to a race circuit.
Pricing and availability
Dodge has confirmed that the Charger Super Bee Launch Edition will be produced in limited numbers, but final pricing, ordering details, and production volumes have not yet been announced. The company says more information will be released closer to the start of sales later in 2026. It is expected to cost more than the standard Charger SIXPACK Scat Pack Plus.
How it compares with the previous Super Bee
| Feature | 2023 Charger Super Bee | 2027 Charger Super Bee |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 6.4-litre HEMI V8 | 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six |
| Power | 485 hp | 600 hp |
| Drive | Rear-wheel drive | All-wheel drive with RWD mode |
| 0–60 mph | Around 4.5 seconds | 3.6 seconds |
| Production | Limited edition | Limited Launch Edition |
The new model replaces V8 displacement with advanced turbocharging, delivering stronger acceleration while introducing modern chassis and electronic upgrades.
The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee marks a major new chapter for Dodge’s muscle car lineup. Although it moves away from the iconic HEMI V8, the new 600-horsepower twin-turbo Hurricane engine gives it performance that surpasses every previous production Super Bee. Combined with upgraded suspension, larger brakes, improved cooling, advanced driving modes, and exclusive styling, the Launch Edition is designed to honour the Super Bee legacy while embracing Dodge’s next generation of high-performance engineering. For enthusiasts looking for the fastest and most capable Super Bee ever built, this new model sets an impressive new benchmark.
