The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee is the most potent version of the Hurricane inline-six yet seen in a stock Stellantis machine. The Dodge Charger is in a bit of a sales slump, with the muscle machine coming in near or at the top of the ranks of the slowest-selling cars in the United States on any given month. However, 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of that legendary nameplate, and Dodge isn’t one to let milestones pass by.
Just in time for this year’s installment of the annual RoadKill Nights festivities, Dodge has unveiled the 2027 Charger Sixpack Super Bee—the most powerful internal combustion-powered version of the current-generation muscle car yet. The Super Bee nameplate has a long history with Dodge, having been first introduced on the Coronet back in 1968 before arriving on the Charger in 1971.
This particular Super Bee leans into its high-powered heritage with select revisions to the High Output Hurricane inline-six found under the hood. Dodge has fitted the engine with larger 58-mm Garrett turbochargers, which flow 7.5 percent more air than the outgoing units; the new snails are bolstered by modifications to the intake system, charge-air path, and intercooler, ensuring the 3.0-liter straight-six can breathe a bit better.
Thanks to all that plus a reworked exhaust and a new engine calibration, this Super Bee-specific engine setup is good for 600 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. Nearly the entire cooling system has also been revised, to help keep all of that power available on the drag strip or road course. A Torqueflite 880RE eight-speed automatic backs up the motor, tying it to all four wheels; Dodge says the setup helps push the Super Bee from a stop to 60 miles an hour in just 3.6 seconds.
