The Dodge Charger Super Bee is returning for the 2027 model year, and it arrives with a very different kind of muscle under the hood.
Instead of leaning on a traditional V8, the new Super Bee uses Dodge’s twin-turbo Sixpack inline-six in a higher-output tune, backed by serious chassis and aero hardware.
It’s a clear signal that the Super Bee name still has performance intent, even as Dodge’s modern muscle formula changes shape.
At a glance
- The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee returns with a 600 hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
- It pairs an 8-speed automatic with all-wheel drive, plus a rear-wheel-drive mode for a more traditional muscle-car feel.
- Dodge quotes 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and an 11.8-second quarter-mile.
Sixpack muscle replaces the old V8 script
The big change is right at the center of the car.
The 2027 Charger Super Bee uses an updated version of Dodge’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six, producing 600 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque.
Peak torque arrives across a broad 3000-5900 rpm band, which should give the car the kind of mid-range punch that matters in real-world acceleration as much as it does at the drag strip.
An 8-speed automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels, giving the Super Bee a traction-first setup for hard launches.
Dodge has also included a rear-wheel-drive mode, a useful nod to drivers who still want the attitude and adjustability associated with classic Charger performance.
Aero and chassis hardware sharpen the Super Bee
The new Super Bee isn’t only a powertrain story.
Dodge has redesigned the front fascia and fitted distinct headlamp clusters, with the front-end work aimed at improving airflow and creating meaningful downforce at speed.
The company claims the setup generates 100 lbs of downforce at 150 mph.
A front splitter and lip spoiler add to the more purposeful exterior package without turning the car into a track-only caricature.
Underneath, the Super Bee gains Continuous Damping Control dual-valve adaptive dampers, a key upgrade for a car expected to balance straight-line speed with road composure.
It rides on 20-inch forged wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires, a suitably serious fitment for a 600 hp Charger.
Track and Drag modes give it a clearer brief
Dodge has also equipped the Super Bee with launch control, which fits the model’s drag-strip personality.
Two new drive modes, Track and Drag, give drivers more targeted settings for different performance environments.
The quoted numbers are firmly in modern performance-car territory, with 0-60 mph taking 3.6 seconds and the quarter-mile completed in 11.8 seconds.
Those figures matter because they show Dodge isn’t treating the Super Bee badge as a cosmetic revival.
The car may have moved away from V8 theater, but the brief remains familiar, with big power, hard launches and a factory-backed sense of mischief.

It keeps the Super Bee’s straight-line character intact, but updates the recipe with turbocharged six-cylinder power, adaptive damping, all-wheel-drive traction and enough rear-drive personality to keep the old-school crowd listening.
