If you grew up around Mopars, the words Super Bee need no introduction. Dodge made it official today: the Super Bee returns for 2027 as the Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, and it comes back as the quickest, fastest and most powerful Super Bee ever built. The headline numbers are 600 horsepower, zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and an 11.8 second quarter mile. It is a limited run car, pricing and ordering open later this year, and if you want one in Manitoba the time to put your hand up is now, not when the order bank closes. You can see the current Charger lineup the Super Bee builds on in our new Dodge Charger inventory in Portage la Prairie, and here is everything Dodge announced today.

Key Takeaways

• 600 horsepower and 531 lb ft from an upgraded twin turbo 3.0 litre SIXPACK H.O. inline six with larger 56mm Garrett turbos running over 30 psi of boost. That is 200 horsepower per litre, which Dodge says makes it the most power dense muscle car ever.
• The quickest Super Bee ever: 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds. The 2023 Last Call Super Bee ran 485 horsepower, 4.5 seconds and 12.4. This one beats it by 115 horsepower and more than half a second in the quarter.
• Built for repeat runs, not one hero pass: 16 inch Brembo brakes with six piston front calipers, 20 by 11 inch forged wheels on 305 Goodyear summer tires at all four corners, adaptive dampers, and a cooling system with over 50 percent more high temperature capacity.
• All wheel drive with a full rear wheel drive mode on a steering wheel button, plus new Track and Drag modes, launch control, line lock and a drive experience recorder.
• Limited run, built in Canada at Windsor Assembly. Pricing and ordering details land later this year; talk to us early if you want an allocation.

What Dodge Actually Announced

The Super Bee nameplate goes back to the 1968 Coronet, joined the Charger lineup in 1971, and has come back twice since, most recently as the 485 horsepower Last Call car in 2023. Today's announcement brings it back on the current Charger platform as the Super Bee Launch Edition, positioned above the Scat Pack as the new sharp end of the SIXPACK powered lineup.

The engine is the twin turbo 3.0 litre SIXPACK H.O. inline six, and this is not just a badge and stripe package. The Super Bee gets a unique calibration, larger 56mm Garrett turbochargers running more than 30 psi of boost, and 7.5 percent more airflow than the standard SIXPACK H.O. The result is an SAE certified 600 horsepower and 531 lb ft, with peak torque arriving at 3,000 rpm through the TorqueFlite eight speed automatic. For context, the last Hellcat Charger sedan made 707 horsepower from 6.2 litres; this car makes 600 from 3.0 litres, and Dodge is calling it the most power dense muscle car ever at 200 horsepower per litre.

Built for the Strip, Not Just the Spec Sheet

The interesting part of this announcement is not the peak number, it is how much hardware Dodge threw at making that number repeatable.

Brakes. 16 inch Brembo vented rotors, the first time they have appeared on a SIXPACK Charger, with six piston front and four piston rear fixed calipers, 27 percent more pad area, and what Dodge says is three times the fade resistance of other SIXPACK models.

Tires and wheels. 20 by 11 inch forged wheels at all four corners wearing 305/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 summer tires. Square setup, serious rubber.

Suspension. New dual valve adaptive dampers updating at 100 times per second, stiffer bushings and springs at both ends, and a 20 percent stiffer rear bar.

Cooling. Over 50 percent more capacity in the high temperature circuit, more than double in the low temperature circuit, auxiliary radiators in the front fascia corners and 30 percent more airflow to the main stack. This is the difference between a car that runs one good pass and a car that runs all night at the strip.

Software. A new Track mode and a Drag mode that retunes the dampers for launch, plus launch control, torque reserve to build boost on the line, race prep cooling after shutdown, line lock for burnouts, and a drive experience recorder with a forward facing camera that syncs video with telemetry.

And the party trick: the Super Bee is all wheel drive with a dedicated button on the steering wheel that sends everything to the rear wheels on demand. Traction when you want to hook, smoke when you do not.

The Look

The Launch Edition leans into the heritage. Three colours: Sucker Punch, a new vibrant yellow green that is the signature shade, a new subtle grey called Shady, and Diamond Black. A new turbo spooled Super Bee logo, inspired by a turbocharger spool, lands on the bodyside Stinger graphics and a gloss black hood patch, with Hyper Lime brake calipers underneath gloss black wheels. Inside, the Super Bee gets new cloth high back performance seats, a first for the modern Charger, with the Super Bee logo embroidered in the headrests, Citrus Peel pattern inserts and contrast stitching, plus a dedicated Super Bee badge on the instrument panel.

The lead photo above is the real thing: the Sucker Punch coupe and the dark sedan wearing the Stinger graphic, straight from Dodge's launch materials. The remaining photos on this page show the current Charger lineup the Super Bee builds on.

The Manitoba Read, and How to Get One

Here is the local angle. This is a 600 horsepower muscle car with standard all wheel drive, built two provinces over at Windsor Assembly. The old excuse that a muscle car is a three season toy in Manitoba gets a lot weaker when the car can drive all four wheels, and the drag strip hardware means it will feel right at home making passes at Interlake Dragway on a Saturday.

The practical part: this is a limited run car, and Dodge has said pricing, ordering and availability details come later this year. Launch editions like this get allocated, and allocation goes to the buyers who spoke up early. If you want a Super Bee, the move is simple: tell us now, and we will keep you first in line as ordering details reach the dealer network. We did the same drill on the Charger Daytona Purple Haze 60th anniversary car, and the interested buyers who called early were the ones who got the good news first.

In the meantime, the Charger lineup the Super Bee sits on top of is on the ground now.

The Bottom Line

The Super Bee has always been the working end of Dodge's muscle catalogue, the car for people who care about the time slip more than the trim walk. The 2027 Launch Edition honours that honestly: more power than any Super Bee before it, and the brakes, tires, cooling and software to do it over and over. Pricing and ordering land later this year. If this car is on your list, get your name on ours, and until then come see the Charger family it grows from in our new Dodge Charger inventory in Portage la Prairie.
