Summary

  • Dodge said the 2027 Charger Super Bee uses a 600-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six and reaches 60 mph in 3.6 seconds—quicker than the original 707-hp Hellcat Charger.
  • The new model is pitched as both street and track-ready, with two- and four-door versions, performance-recording software, bigger brakes, stronger cooling and instant switching between all- and rear-wheel drive.
  • Matt McAlear called it Dodge’s most power-dense muscle car ever at 200 hp per liter and used the reveal to press skeptical V-8 loyalists to test-drive the Hurricane-powered Charger.
  • Dodge did not give pricing or a launch date, saying details will come later this year as the brand also prepares a Durango refresh, a GLH hatchback and the return of the Charger Hellcat.
