2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee: 600 HP Launch Edition Specs, Price & What’s New
The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition is Dodge’s loud answer to anyone still mourning the Hemi: a 600-horsepower twin-turbo inline-six Charger built to be the quickest, fastest, and most powerful Sixpack Charger — and the most powerful Super Bee — yet.
This guide covers the Super Bee’s powertrain, claimed acceleration, track hardware, colors and cabin details, how it stacks against Scat Pack and older Super Bees, and what buyers should watch before order books open.

Dodge positions Super Bee above the Sixpack Scat Pack as the track-focused, higher-output halo — not a mild graphics pack.
Why Super Bee matters in the Sixpack era#
The current Charger generation dropped the classic V8 for Stellantis’ Hurricane / Sixpack twin-turbo straight-six. Power density is huge, but Mopar purists wanted a clearer emotional top dog.
Super Bee brings that badge back for Charger’s 60th anniversary story:
- Nameplate roots: Super Bee arrived in 1968; Charger Super Bee history goes back to 1971
- Versus the last Hemi Super Bee (~485 hp in 2023), the 2027 car jumps by more than 100 hp
- Versus 2026 Scat Pack (~550 hp), Super Bee adds 50 hp and serious cooling, brake, aero, and tire upgrades
Dodge also leans on a headline power-density claim: about 200 hp per liter, calling this the most power-dense muscle car it has built.
What’s different in the 600 hp Sixpack#
The Super Bee H.O. engine is not a sticker tune alone. Key changes versus Scat Pack include:
- Larger 56 mm Garrett turbochargers (up from smaller units on Scat Pack)
- Peak boost over 30 psi
- Peak torque available earlier — about 3,000 rpm — and held deep into the rev range (~5,900 rpm)
- Revised turbo, exhaust, and calibration for sharper response and a louder induction / overrun character
- Stronger half-shafts (Dodge cites roughly 10% stronger hardware) for repeated hard launches
- Thermal and airflow work so the car can repeat runs without cooking itself
Torque matches Scat Pack’s 531 lb-ft, but the earlier plateau and extra horsepower are meant to make the car feel stronger everywhere — out of corners, at the top end, and on consecutive passes.
Claimed performance vs recent Chargers#
| Model | HP | 0–60 (claimed) | 1/4-mile (claimed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 Super Bee (Hemi era) | 485 | 4.5 s | 12.4 s |
| 2026 Scat Pack | 550 | 3.9 s | 12.2 s |
| 2027 Super Bee Launch Edition | 600 | 3.6 s | 11.8 s |
For context, Dodge also lines these numbers up against older Hellcat folklore — Super Bee is not chasing a 707-hp Redeye brag, but it is chasing repeatable drag and track pace with modern cooling and brakes.
Track hardware — brakes, tires, suspension, aero#
Super Bee is sold as the most track-focused Super Bee yet. The hardware list is why.
Brakes#
- 16-inch Brembo vented rotors all around (first time as this package on a Sixpack Charger)
- Six-piston front / four-piston rear fixed calipers
- Dodge claims far higher fade resistance than other Sixpack Chargers, helped by a larger pad surface area and dedicated brake ducts
Wheels and tires#
- 20×11-inch forged gloss-black wheels
- Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 305/35ZR20 summer tires at all four corners
- Hyper Lime calipers as a Launch Edition signature
Wide sticky rubber is there to put 600 hp down through AWD — and to make RWD mode more entertaining when you want it.
Suspension#
- New CDC dual-valve adaptive dampers
- Higher spring rates (Dodge cites roughly +12% front / +6% rear)
- Stiffer bushings and a ~20% stiffer rear anti-roll bar to cut understeer
- Street comfort is still part of the brief — adaptive damping is meant to keep daily driving usable
Cooling and aero#
- High-flow Super Bee fascia with more airflow to the cooling stack
- Auxiliary radiators, charge-air, transmission, and HVAC thermal upgrades
- Dodge claims 50%+ more cooling capacity in key circuits versus lesser Sixpack Chargers
- Track-tuned splitter and rear spoiler for high-speed stability and cooling airflow
This is the difference between a one-run hero and a car that can do a session without going into limp heat protection every other lap.
Drive modes and driver tech#
Super Bee adds Sixpack-first tools aimed at strip and circuit use:
- Track Mode — firmer damping, sharper steering/powertrain calibrations, dedicated stability logic for enclosed tracks
- Drag Mode — launch-focused chassis bias to put weight and power where they help
- Race Prep — keeps electric cooling fans working after shutdown between runs
- Torque Reserve launch behavior — build boost before you leave the line
- Steering-wheel RWD mode button — switch to rear-drive on the fly for classic muscle-car antics
- Optional Cosworth Drive Experience Recorder — video, audio, and performance data for laps and passes
Larger paddle shifters round out the “serious session” feel. None of this replaces driver skill or a proper track day checklist — but it shows Dodge engineered Super Bee for more than parking-lot burnouts.
Launch Edition look: colors, graphics, cabin#
The Launch Edition is visually exclusive:
| Exterior colors | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sucker Punch | New-for-2027 highlight color |
| Shady | New-for-2027 |
| Diamond Black | Classic dark Charger look |
Extras include Super Bee “stinger” bodyside graphics (gloss black or Sucker Punch), Super Bee badging for the twin-turbo Sixpack story, and interior touches such as high-back performance seats with embroidered Super Bee logos, Sour Lemon accent stitching, and a Super Bee instrument-panel badge.
If you want the bee, you are buying a limited visual package as much as the 600 hp tune — treat color choice like a collector decision.
Pricing — what we know (and don’t)#
Dodge has not published MSRP, order windows, or build volumes yet. Those details are promised later in 2026.
Market context from current Charger Sixpack pricing:
- Scat Pack territory often starts in the high-$50k to low-$60k range depending on coupe/sedan and packs
- Analysts widely expect Super Bee Launch Edition to price above Scat Pack, with educated guesses commonly landing in the ~$70k–$80k+ zone once options stack — but treat every dollar figure as provisional until Dodge posts official numbers
Buying mindset before orders open#
- Decide coupe vs sedan early — limited runs sell the popular combo first
- Pick your Launch Edition color now; exclusives disappear first
- Budget for summer tires, track insurance riders, and fuel (premium required)
- Do not pre-pay shady “allocation deposits” outside an official dealer process
- Compare against a loaded Scat Pack on the same week pricing drops — confirm Super Bee’s brakes/cooling/tires justify the gap for your use
Who Super Bee is for#
| Buyer | Fit |
|---|---|
| Track / drag weekend warrior who wants a streetable Charger | Strong |
| Hemi holdout open to a 600 hp Sixpack story | Strong — if the sound and badge win you over |
| Daily driver in snow belt winters | Good — AWD base helps; summer tires are not winter rubber |
| Pure collector of Hemi Redeyes | Weaker — different era and engine character |
| Quiet luxury cruiser | Weak — buy a different car |
Super Bee vs Scat Pack — quick decision#
Choose Super Bee if you want the peak Sixpack output, bigger Brembos, sticky 305s, serious cooling, Track/Drag modes, and the limited Launch Edition bee graphics.
Stay with Scat Pack if you want most of the Sixpack drama for less money and do not need track-session thermal headroom or the exclusive colors.
Drive both when dealers have them. Spec sheets sell the bee; the damper tune and brake feel will decide it.
FAQ#
How much horsepower does the 2027 Charger Super Bee have?#
600 horsepower and 531 lb-ft from the twin-turbo 3.0-liter Sixpack H.O. inline-six.
How fast is it?#
Dodge claims 3.6 seconds to 60 mph and an 11.8-second quarter-mile — quicker than Scat Pack and the previous-generation Super Bee on those metrics.
Is it rear-wheel drive?#
Standard layout is all-wheel drive, with a dedicated button for 100% rear-wheel-drive mode when you want classic muscle behavior.
When can I order one / what does it cost?#
Pricing, ordering, and availability are still TBA. Dodge says details come later in 2026. Production is limited and built at Windsor.
Coupe or sedan?#
Dodge is presenting Super Bee in the Charger family as available across the body styles the Sixpack range uses — expect both two-door and four-door paths, then confirm on the official order guide when it drops.
Conclusion#
The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition is Dodge doubling down on the Sixpack Charger: 600 hp, sticky rubber, huge Brembos, serious cooling, and Track/Drag tools wrapped in a limited bee costume. Pricing is still unannounced, so the smart move is to watch the official order sheet, compare it line-by-line with Scat Pack, and buy the Super Bee only if you will use the track hardware — not just the badge. When the numbers land, match coupe vs sedan, lock a Launch Edition color, and keep deposits inside a real dealer process.
