2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Drops with 600 HP and the Most Track-Ready Setup Yet

The Super Bee badge hasn’t been on a new Charger since the “Last Call” era. Now it’s back — and this time, it’s pushing 600 horsepower from a twin-turbo inline-six instead of a Hemi V8. Dodge unveiled the 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition at Roadkill Nights 2026, calling it the most track-capable Charger Sixpack ever built. With a targeted 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds and an 11.8-second quarter-mile, Dodge isn’t just asking Hemi faithful to accept the new era — it’s daring them to keep up.

The Hurricane Engine Gets Its Most Extreme Tune Yet

The 2027 Charger Super Bee turns the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six up to its highest output yet. Dodge swapped in larger 56mm Garrett turbochargers and pushed boost past 30 psi — changes that move peak torque delivery from 3,500 rpm down to 3,000. That lower torque peak means the power hits sooner and harder out of corners, which is exactly where lap times are made or lost. The result is a targeted 600 horsepower — 50 HP more than the standard Scat Pack — and performance numbers that would have seemed impossible from a six-cylinder just a few years ago.

Here’s what changed on the Super Bee versus the standard Scat Pack engine:

1. 56mm Garrett turbos (larger than standard Scat Pack units)
2. Boost pressure raised to 30+ psi
3. Peak torque arrival moved to 3,000 rpm (down 500 rpm)
4. Targeted output: 600 HP (50 HP over the Scat Pack’s 550)
5. Targeted 0-60: 3.6 seconds | Quarter-mile: 11.8 seconds

For context, those performance numbers put the Super Bee squarely in Hellcat Redeye territory. The case against the Hurricane is running out of arguments.

Track-Grade Stopping Power and Tires

Speed without stopping ability is just danger. Dodge equipped the Super Bee Launch Edition with 16-inch Brembo brake rotors — among the largest ever fitted to a production Charger. Six-piston calipers clamp at the front; four-piston units handle the rear. The claimed result: 30 percent more fade resistance compared to other Sixpack models, which translates to consistent bite lap after lap when temps climb.

Rolling stock is equally serious. The 305/35Z20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires are mounted on 20×11-inch gloss-black forged wheels. That 305-section width is notably aggressive — a full 55mm broader than a standard Charger setup — and the Eagle F1 Supercar 3 is Goodyear’s stickiest street-legal compound. Dodge built the Super Bee to be driven hard from the moment it leaves the lot.

Three Launch Edition Colors, One Aesthetic Direction

The Super Bee Launch Edition ships in three exclusive colors: Sucker Punch (a bold, saturated yellow), Diamond Black Crystal, and Shady (a deep matte-finish gray). Each was chosen to read clearly on track while keeping the Super Bee’s classic muscle car intensity intact. No safe shades, no beige — every option makes a statement before the engine even fires.

Interior specifics are still being confirmed as Dodge approaches the mid-2027 sales launch, but expect Super Bee-specific badging, performance seats, and the Sixpack digital cockpit. The track focus established by the exterior hardware is expected to carry through to the cabin, consistent with how Dodge has spec’d every Charger Sixpack trim to date.

Building the Super Bee Look on Your Current Charger

The Super Bee’s widebody stance isn’t accidental — Dodge stretched the fenders significantly to accommodate those 20×11-inch wheels and 305-section tires. If you’re running a 2015–2023 Charger and want that same aggressive shoulder line without waiting for the 2027, the path is already available. Vicrez’s Hellcat-style widebody kit adds flared fenders that mirror the Super Bee’s factory stance, and it ships now.

The Super Bee is Dodge’s most direct answer yet to anyone who claimed the Hurricane couldn’t replace the Hemi. Six hundred horsepower, Hellcat-beating brakes, and track-spec rubber from the factory make a persuasive case. Which Launch Edition color would you spec — Sucker Punch, Diamond Black, or Shady?
