600-horsepower 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition
Dodge reignites a legendary nameplate during the 60th anniversary of the Dodge Charger and injects peak firepower into the SIXPACK-powered Charger era: the new 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition is a SAE-certified 600-horsepower evolution of the SIXPACK-powered Charger that creates the quickest, fastest and most powerful SIXPACK Charger - and the most powerful Dodge Super Bee - ever.
The new 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition is engineered to attack with more power, more cooling, more braking and more repeatable performance from the next generation of American muscle. The Super Bee boosts the twin-turbo SIXPACK H.O. engine with a custom engine calibration, larger 56mm Garrett turbos and enhanced thermal capacity, and further sharpens performance with serious track-focused hardware, including massive 16-inch Brembo brakes standard for the first time on the SIXPACK Charger, 20-by-11-inch wheels with 305 summer tires standard for more grip, functional aerodynamics and adaptive damping suspension.
"The Super Bee name has always stood for maximum Dodge attitude: bold, accessible performance with the hardware to back it up," said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO. "With the new 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, we're not just bringing back a legendary badge, we're honoring that legacy by outperforming every vehicle that's adorned the Super Bee badge since 1968. 600 horsepower, bigger turbos, massive Brembo brakes, serious cooling, functional aero, and dedicated track and drag technology make this the quickest, fastest and most powerful Super Bee ever, and a clear signal that Dodge performance is only getting louder, faster and more relentless."
The new Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition is engineered for drivers who demand more than a one-run hero number. Straight-line speed still anchors the Dodge formula, but Super Bee widens the attack with a complete performance envelope built around acceleration, braking, cooling, track consistency, high-speed stability and driver confidence.
Charger Super Bee Powertrain: Heart of the Most Power Dense Muscle Car Ever
At the heart of the 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition is the most potent SIXPACK-powered Charger ever engineered. A Super Bee-exclusive high-output version of the 3.0-liter twin-turbo SIXPACK engine features larger 56mm Garrett twin turbochargers, resulting in 600 horsepower and 531 lb.-ft. of torque, establishing a new performance benchmark for the SIXPACK era with 200 horsepower per liter of displacement, making the Charger Super Bee Launch Edition the most power dense muscle car ever.
More Boost, More Airflow, More Repeatable Power
The Super Bee is engineered to dominate both the drag strip and the road course, with an improved 0-60 mph sprint and quarter-mile pass, while delivering measurable gains in acceleration, braking performance, lap-time capability and thermal durability.
The additional performance comes from far more than a simple horsepower increase. Engineers reworked the powertrain package to create a broader, harder-hitting performance envelope that delivers stronger acceleration at every point in the rev range and maintains that performance under repeated hard use.
Compared with the SIXPACK H.O. Charger Scat Pack, the Super Bee powertrain delivers more peak power, a broader torque curve, more powerful boost response, stronger top-end acceleration and greater sustained output during extended high-performance driving. The result is a Charger that pulls harder out of corners, charges more aggressively toward redline and continues making power deep into the speedometer.
The larger Garrett Motion 56mm turbochargers deliver over 30 psi of boost and spool harder than the SIXPACK Charger Scat Pack, with peak torque available 11.8% earlier at 3,000 rpm and maintained all the way through 5,900 rpm. The revised turbo package is engineered to increase both airflow and efficiency, helping unlock the highest sustained output of any SIXPACK-powered Charger.
The larger turbochargers push 7.5% additional airflow through the engine, feeding the SIXPACK powerplant with a greater volume of air under demanding conditions. The increased airflow helps the Super Bee maintain stronger top-end performance while supporting more consistent power delivery during repeated acceleration runs.
The Charger Super Bee's personality extends beyond raw output. Revised turbocharger and exhaust tuning create a more aggressive soundtrack, amplifying the SIXPACK's turbocharged character with sharper response, enhanced induction sound and more pronounced exhaust overrun under deceleration.
Engineers also modified the intake system to maximize airflow. Modifications to the intake system, charge-air path and intercoolers include a charge air cooler duct thermal wrap, helping the Super Bee breathe more efficiently to sustain performance under the most demanding conditions.
To withstand the extreme demands of producing 600 horsepower, Dodge strengthened key components throughout the powertrain. Reinforced, larger half-shafts that are nearly 10% stronger support higher output, additional boost, increased temperatures and track-duty durability.
Powertrain calibration plays an equally vital role in the Super Bee's performance advantage. Exclusive software tuning sharpens throttle response, accelerates boost buildup, optimizes power delivery, refines Launch Control operation and enhances Track Mode capability. Additional thermal management and repeatability calibrations help ensure the Super Bee delivers consistent performance run after run, lap after lap.
The result is a powertrain engineered to do far more than generate a bigger number on paper. Every component, calibration and airflow improvement was developed to help the Charger Super Bee accelerate harder, respond faster, pull stronger at higher speeds and maintain peak performance longer than any previous SIXPACK Charger.
The Super Bee Launch Edition elevates the performance capability of the SIXPACK-powered Charger lineup in every measurable category and rockets past every previous Dodge Super Bee, including the last-generation HEMI®-powered model, improving on the 2023 Charger Super Bee's 4.5-second 0-60 mph time with a 3.6-second sprint - 20% quicker - and improving quarter-mile ET from 12.4 seconds to 11.8 seconds shaves six-tenths of a second off the quarter-mile pull.
