2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition: 600 HP, Performance, and Key Features

The Super Bee is back with more power, more performance hardware, and a new interpretation of one of Dodge’s most recognizable muscle-car nameplates.

The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition produces 600 horsepower from its twin-turbo SIXPACK engine, accelerates from 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and adds substantial upgrades to the cooling, brakes, suspension, aerodynamics, and performance technology of the new Charger platform.

For Dodge enthusiasts around St. Albans, this is the clearest look yet at just how far the gas-powered Charger can go.

2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee at a Glance

The Super Bee Launch Edition sits at the top of the SIXPACK-powered Charger performance lineup.

• Engine: 3.0-liter twin-turbo SIXPACK H.O. inline-six
• Horsepower: 600 hp
• Torque: 531 lb.-ft.
• Transmission: Eight-speed TorqueFlite 880RE automatic
• Drivetrain: Standard AWD with on-demand 100% RWD mode
• 0–60 mph: 3.6 seconds
• Quarter-mile: 11.8 seconds
• Wheels: 20-by-11-inch forged wheels
• Tires: Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 305/35ZR20
• Brakes: 16-inch Brembo vented rotors with six-piston front and four-piston rear fixed calipers

Those numbers make the Launch Edition the quickest, fastest, and most powerful Dodge Super Bee yet, as well as the most powerful SIXPACK-powered Charger announced so far.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Have?

The 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition produces 600 horsepower and 531 lb.-ft. of torque from a high-output version of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged SIXPACK inline-six.

That gives it 50 more horsepower than the 550-horsepower Charger Scat Pack.

The additional output comes from more than a calibration change. Larger 56mm Garrett turbochargers increase airflow, while revised engine tuning, charge-air improvements, reinforced driveline components, and expanded cooling capacity help support the higher output.

The larger turbochargers also help deliver peak torque earlier in the rev range, giving the Super Bee stronger response as speed builds.

It is a significant step beyond the standard SIXPACK H.O. formula—and an important indication of how much performance Dodge has engineered into the new Charger architecture.

2027 Charger Super Bee 0–60 and Quarter-Mile Times

The Super Bee Launch Edition reaches 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds.

For comparison, the 550-horsepower Charger Scat Pack is rated at 3.9 seconds from 0–60 mph and 12.2 seconds through the quarter-mile.

The new Super Bee also improves substantially on the 2023 model, which produced 485 horsepower and carried a 4.5-second 0–60 time.

That acceleration gives the Super Bee plenty of headline appeal, but the car has been engineered for more than a single launch. Additional thermal capacity, larger brakes, wider tires, and adaptive suspension help make its performance more repeatable during demanding driving.

More Cooling for Repeated Performance

Higher output creates more heat, so the Super Bee receives a major thermal-management upgrade.

Its high-temperature engine-cooling circuit gains more than 50% additional cooling capacity, while the low-temperature circuit more than doubles its capacity. Auxiliary radiators, upgraded intercooling, transmission cooling, dedicated ducting, and revised airflow management all contribute to the package.

A new high-flow front fascia increases airflow through the cooling stack while also contributing additional aerodynamic downforce at speed.

This approach gives the Super Bee a broader performance envelope instead of treating horsepower as an isolated number.

It also helps explain why the car can still make sense beyond a closed course. Adaptive systems and extensive cooling hardware work quietly in the background during everyday driving, whether the day takes you through downtown St. Albans or out across the Fairfield and East Fairfield roads.

Massive Brembo Brakes and 305-Width Tires

The Super Bee backs its 600 horsepower with serious stopping and cornering hardware.

At all four corners are 16-inch Brembo vented rotors, paired with six-piston fixed front calipers and four-piston fixed rear calipers. The system provides three times more brake-fade resistance than the other SIXPACK-powered Charger configurations.

Dedicated brake-cooling ducts help manage heat during repeated hard stops.

The tires are equally substantial. 305/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires wrap around 20-by-11-inch forged wheels at all four corners, giving the Super Bee a wide contact patch for acceleration, braking, and cornering.

That hardware gives the car a much deeper performance story than its horsepower figure alone suggests.

Adaptive Suspension for the Street and Track

The Charger Super Bee introduces a dual-valve Continuous Damping Control adaptive suspension that continuously adjusts damping force as the vehicle responds to changing conditions.

Spring rates are increased, key suspension bushings are stiffer, and the rear stabilizer bar has been revised to improve body control and steering response.

The system is designed to support the car’s track-focused hardware while preserving everyday ride quality.

That balance matters in a performance car that may spend far more time on normal roads than at a track. Around St. Albans, that could mean a weekday run along VT-104, a trip across town, or simply dealing with the varied pavement that comes with daily northern Vermont driving.

AWD When You Need It, Rear-Wheel Drive When You Want It

Every 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition comes with standard all-wheel drive, but the system can also send 100% of available torque to the rear wheels.

A dedicated RWD button sits directly on the steering wheel, giving the driver immediate access to rear-wheel-drive mode.

That gives the Super Bee two distinct personalities: the traction benefits of AWD for ordinary driving and the classic rear-drive character enthusiasts expect from a performance Charger.

For a car living in Vermont, that combination is especially interesting. AWD adds another layer of practicality for normal travel, while the car still keeps a strong connection to the traditional muscle-car experience.

A quick stop around Federal Street and the St. Albans rail district is a very different environment from a closed-course performance session, and the Super Bee is engineered to handle both kinds of use without giving up its performance identity.

Track Mode, Drag Mode, Torque Reserve, and Race Prep

The Super Bee adds a deep set of performance controls for use in the appropriate closed-course environment.

Track Mode adjusts the dampers, steering, transmission behavior, powertrain response, traction control, and stability systems for road-course driving.

Drag Mode changes chassis and driveline behavior to support harder launches and improved weight transfer on an enclosed drag strip.

The Super Bee also brings Torque Reserve to the SIXPACK-powered Charger. The system builds turbo boost before launch so more torque is ready when the vehicle leaves the line.

Race Prep helps manage underhood temperatures between runs by allowing the cooling fan to continue operating after the engine is switched off.

Line Lock, Launch Control, Performance Pages, larger paddle shifters, and a steering-wheel RWD button round out a package with plenty for performance-minded drivers to explore.

Record the Drive With the Cosworth Experience Recorder

The Super Bee Launch Edition also introduces the Drive Experience Recorder by Cosworth to the SIXPACK Charger.

A forward-facing 1080p camera records at 60 frames per second, while the integrated system synchronizes video, audio, and vehicle-performance information.

Drivers can review runs inside the vehicle or export recorded information for deeper analysis.

For someone who takes the Super Bee to a track or drag strip, it turns every session into something that can be reviewed afterward rather than simply remembered.

And when the weekend is less intense, the Charger is still a practical performance coupe or sedan for ordinary plans—perhaps a run downtown followed by some time around the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail.

2027 Charger Super Bee Colors and Exterior Design

The Super Bee Launch Edition gets a distinct visual identity to match its performance upgrades.

Three exterior colors are planned:

• Sucker Punch
• Shady
• Diamond Black

Depending on the exterior color, the Launch Edition pairs its finish with gloss-black or Sucker Punch “Stinger” graphics, unique Super Bee details, gloss-black forged wheels, and bright Hyper Lime brake calipers.

A redesigned Super Bee logo brings the familiar nameplate into the turbocharged SIXPACK era. Its design draws inspiration from the shape and motion of a turbocharger while preserving the recognizable Bee identity.

The functional exterior changes are just as important. A revised front fascia increases airflow, a larger front splitter contributes additional downforce, and a performance rear spoiler helps balance the aerodynamic package.

The result looks different because much of the hardware actually does something.

A Distinctive Super Bee Interior

The Launch Edition cabin continues the same combination of heritage and modern performance.

Cloth high-back performance seats feature embroidered Super Bee logos, Citrus Peel-pattern inserts, and contrasting Silver and Sour Lemon stitching.

A unique leather performance steering wheel includes the dedicated RWD button, larger paddle shifters, a Citrus Peel 12-o’clock marker, and Super Bee-specific stitching.

A Super Bee instrument-panel badge and additional contrast details carry the theme through the cabin.

That makes the Launch Edition identifiable as a Super Bee even when you’re simply heading to a weekday appointment, parking around Main Street, or fitting a few normal errands around the more interesting drives.

How Does the 2027 Super Bee Compare With the 2023 Super Bee?

The 2027 model represents a major performance jump from the last Charger to wear the Super Bee badge.

The 2023 Charger Super Bee produced 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque, with a 4.5-second 0–60 time and a 12.4-second quarter-mile.

The new 2027 Launch Edition increases output to 600 horsepower, cuts the 0–60 time to 3.6 seconds, and lowers the quarter-mile time to 11.8 seconds.

More importantly, it adds a broader collection of performance technology around those numbers: larger brakes, adaptive suspension, substantially greater cooling capacity, wider tires, Track and Drag modes, Torque Reserve, Race Prep, and the Drive Experience Recorder.

The powertrain has changed, but the basic Super Bee idea remains familiar: take a Charger, sharpen its performance focus, and make sure nobody mistakes it for the ordinary version.

The Super Bee Name Enters the SIXPACK Era

The Super Bee story began in 1968, and the badge first appeared on a Charger in 1971. It has returned at different points in Dodge history, always tied closely to performance and unmistakable styling.

The 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition carries that formula into a new generation.

Its 600-horsepower twin-turbo engine may be very different from the powerplants associated with earlier Super Bees, but the mission is recognizable: substantial power, purpose-built performance hardware, bold graphics, and a character that stands apart from the rest of the Charger lineup.

The Launch Edition will be a limited-production model, with additional pricing and ordering information to be announced.
