Dodge Reignites the Super Bee Nameplate With the 2027 Charger Launch Edition

Dodge just revived one of muscle-car history’s most famous names, and it lands with numbers that back up the badge. The 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition arrives as the quickest, fastest, and most powerful Super Bee ever built.

For New Brunswick shoppers who track every Dodge performance announcement, this is the one worth reading closely. Here is what is confirmed, what makes it different from the rest of the Charger lineup, and why it matters right now.

What’s Confirmed About The Super Bee’s Return

The Super Bee nameplate first appeared on the Coronet in 1968, joined the Charger in 1971, and returned briefly in 2007 and again for the 2023 “Last Call” special edition with 485 horsepower. The 2027 Super Bee Launch Edition builds on the current SIXPACK-powered Charger platform and lands during the Charger’s 60th anniversary.

The headline figure is a SAE-certified 600 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque from a Super Bee-exclusive high-output version of the 3.0-litre twin-turbo SIXPACK inline-six engine. That is more than 100 horsepower over the outgoing 2023 Super Bee, achieved with larger 56mm Garrett twin turbochargers pushing over 30 psi of boost.

Dodge quotes 200 horsepower per litre of displacement for this engine, calling it the most power-dense muscle car it has built. Peak torque now arrives 11.8% earlier, at 3,000 rpm, and holds through 5,900 rpm, with 7.5% more airflow through the engine than the Scat Pack’s version of the same SIXPACK architecture.

How The Super Bee Compares Across The Charger Lineup

The Super Bee sits above the R/T and Scat Pack, and it is a different animal from the all-electric Daytona Scat Pack. The table below lines up the confirmed performance figures.

All three SIXPACK-powered gas models share standard all-wheel drive with an on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode. The Super Bee pairs that drivetrain with an eight-speed automatic transmission and 305/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires on 20-by-11-inch forged wheels, a wider footprint than the Scat Pack’s 275/40ZR20 setup.

The Super Bee also gets brakes the rest of the SIXPACK lineup doesn’t offer: 40-centimetre (16-inch) vented Brembo rotors with six-piston front and four-piston rear fixed calipers, standard for the first time on a SIXPACK Charger. Dodge states this delivers triple the brake fade resistance of any SIXPACK Charger and double that of the previous-generation SRT Charger.

Why This Matters For Muscle-Car Shoppers Now

The Super Bee isn’t just a power bump bolted onto an existing Charger. Cooling capacity in the high-temperature radiator circuit increases by more than 50%, and the low-temperature circuit more than doubles, changes built to let the engine hold peak output through repeated dragstrip runs or extended track sessions rather than fading after a few hard pulls.

A new dual-valve adaptive damping suspension, tuned with stiffer front tension-link and handling-link bushings and a 20% stiffer rear stabilizer bar, is calibrated to sharpen turn-in and reduce understeer. This same hardware supports both a daily commute and an afternoon on an enclosed track, switching character through dedicated Track and Drag Modes introduced for the first time on a SIXPACK Charger.

A steering-wheel-mounted RWD button sends 100% of torque to the rear wheels on demand, useful for drivers who want old-school rear-drive character without leaving AWD behind for the rest of the drive. Inside, the Super Bee gets its own cloth high-back performance seats with embroidered Super Bee headrest logos, a dedicated leather performance steering wheel with the RWD button built in, and a Super Bee instrument-panel badge that separates it visually from the R/T and Scat Pack cabins.

Outside, buyers choose between three Launch Edition colour themes: the new Sucker Punch yellow-green, Diamond Black with Sucker Punch accents, or the new Shady grey with the same gloss-black graphics for a stealthier look. Gloss-black 20-inch wheels and Hyper Lime brake calipers are unique to the Super Bee, along with a redesigned front fascia and an extended front splitter roughly one-third longer than the Scat Pack’s.

Against the Scat Pack, the case for stepping up is straightforward: more peak power, a broader torque curve, a half-second quicker quarter-mile, and brake hardware the Scat Pack doesn’t offer at all. Against the electric Daytona Scat Pack, the Super Bee trades outright quickness for the sound, boost, and shift feel of a turbocharged inline-six, a different kind of theatre for a different kind of buyer.

Ordering And Next Steps In New Brunswick

The Super Bee Launch Edition is a limited-production model. Pricing, ordering, and availability details for Canada will be announced at a later date, so specific timing for New Brunswick isn’t set yet.

The broader SIXPACK-powered Charger lineup, including the R/T and Scat Pack, is open for ordering in Canada, and the multi-energy Charger lineup is assembled in Canada at the Windsor Assembly Plant.
