Dodge revealed the 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition on 7 August, timed to the Charger nameplate’s 60th anniversary. It is the range-topping version of the Sixpack, the petrol Charger, and the interesting number is not 600 hp - it is that a straight-six now does what a supercharged V8 used to.
The engine. Dodge’s twin-turbo 3.0-litre Hurricane inline-six carries over from the R/T and Scat Pack, but the Super Bee’s tune gets larger 56 mm Garrett turbochargers and upgraded cooling to support them. SAE-certified output is 600 hp and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm), sent through the same 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive as the rest of the Sixpack range. Dodge quotes 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and a quarter mile in 11.8 seconds.
What changed. 600 hp is 115 more than the 485 hp V8 Super Bee that Dodge sold in 2023, the last time the name appeared on a Charger. Getting there took turbo size and cooling capacity, not displacement - the same 3.0-litre block as the R/T and Scat Pack, pushed harder. It is the same story the rest of the Hurricane-powered Charger range tells: boost pressure and heat management standing in for cylinders.
On sale. The Super Bee Launch Edition is limited production. Dodge has not published pricing or opened ordering; both follow later in 2026. It joins the Sixpack lineup alongside the 426 hp R/T and 558 hp Scat Pack, and the range shares its STLA Large platform and body with the all-electric Charger Daytona.
The all-electric version of Dodge's new Charger, now on order in Europe. The Daytona uses the STLA Large platform with a 100.5 kWh battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive, in 544 hp R/T and 680 hp Scat Pack forms. Sold as a coupe and a four-door liftback. The Charger range opens at 66,000 euros (about $71,000); first deliveries September 2026.
