The Super Bee name has returned to the Dodge Charger, although this time there is no HEMI V8 under the hood. The new 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition instead uses the brand's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Sixpack inline-six, tuned to produce a substantial 600 horsepower.
That makes it the most powerful gasoline-fueled Charger Sixpack announced so far, and with 531 lb-ft of torque, it'll reach 60 mph in the mid-three-second range. Dodge is also giving the new Super Bee considerably more than an engine tune, adding upgraded cooling, brakes, suspension hardware, wider tires, and dedicated track-focused driving modes.
