The Dodge Charger Super Bee returns for the 2027 model year packing 600 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, according to Dodge. This new variant arrives as the automaker’s most powerful Sixpack yet, utilizing larger turbos, extensive cooling upgrades, and a track-tuned suspension package to redefine performance for the nameplate.
Engine Specs and Performance Metrics
The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee produces 600 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque, according to Dodge. Power is routed through an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Drivers can also engage a dedicated rear-wheel-drive mode to send all available torque directly to the rear wheels.
According to Dodge, the vehicle achieves a zero-to-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds. This output comes courtesy of a pair of larger 56-millimeter Garrett Motion turbochargers that push 7.5 percent more air through the engine. Peak torque arrives earlier at 3,000 rpm and holds steady through 5,900 rpm.
Cooling and Aerodynamic Enhancements
To handle increased thermal loads during aggressive driving, Dodge implemented a comprehensive thermal management strategy. High-temp radiator cooling capacity increases by more than 50 percent, while the low-temp circuit capacity more than doubles, according to Dodge.
The Super Bee features a redesigned front fascia and updated headlights that boost airflow by 30 percent while generating over 100 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. Auxiliary radiators hide in the corners of the front fascia, supported by an extended front splitter and a larger performance spoiler, according to official specifications.
Suspension, Brakes, and Traction Control
Stopping power comes from vented 16.0-inch Brembo brakes featuring six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers. The Super Bee Launch Edition rides on 20-by-11-inch forged wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 305/35ZR20 tires, according to Dodge.
The Launch Edition includes a specialized suspension package featuring Continuous Damping Control dual-valve adaptive dampers. Front tension-link bushings are 25 percent stiffer, and front handling-link bushings are 50 percent stiffer to minimize understeer. Additionally, spring rates increase by 12 percent in the front and 6 percent in the rear, while the rear stabilizer bar is 20 percent stiffer.
Drive Modes and Software Features
Dodge equips the Super Bee with new Track and Drag modes. Drag Mode alters weight transfer by reducing front rebound and increasing rear compression force. Track Mode utilizes custom stability calibrations, aggressive steering tuning, and elevated shift points.
Torque Reserve returns to optimize Launch Control by delaying ignition timing and increasing airflow while holding the brakes, which spools the turbos and limits wheel spin. According to Dodge, the Race Prep feature keeps the electric cooling fan running after engine shutdown, while a steering-wheel-mounted switch lets drivers toggle the rear-wheel-drive mode on the fly.
Did You Know? The 2027 Charger Super Bee is the first Charger Sixpack to feature the Race Prep cooling cycle, which prevents heat soak by keeping electric fans active after the ignition is turned off.
Exterior Styling and Interior Upgrades
The Super Bee Launch Edition introduces a bright yellow-green SuckerPunch exterior paint option alongside a new Shady color, according to Dodge. Buyers can also select Diamond Black paired with Sucker Punch exterior accents on the rear spoiler and fascia, complemented by unique graphics and branding.
Inside the cabin, drivers find newly styled seats with exclusive Super Bee branding, a leather performance steering wheel equipped with the rear-wheel-drive toggle button, larger paddle shifters, and a unique instrument panel badge, according to Dodge.
