What is the Dodge Charger Super Bee?

The Dodge Charger Super Bee is a high-performance variant of the Charger model, expected to feature an increase in power and potentially other upgrades. The Super Bee nameplate has appeared in Dodge’s history several times, including in 1968, 1971, 2007, 2012, and 2023.

The original Super Bee was introduced in 1968 as a budget-friendly muscle car, based on the Coronet platform. It spent a single year on the Charger’s platform in 1971 before the name was retired for a few decades. Dodge revived the Super Bee in 2007 and 2012 as variants of the Charger, and again in 2023 as a “Last Call” special edition for the final year of the V-8-powered Charger.

What can we expect from the new Charger Super Bee?

The new Charger Super Bee is expected to bring a notable increase in power, potentially closer to 600 horsepower. The current Charger Sixpack makes 550 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine. The new Super Bee may also feature similar upgrades to the 2023 Super Bee package, which added wide drag radial tires and a “Drag Mode” with adaptive dampers, along with SRT exterior upgrades, to the Scat Pack trim.

Dodge has said it will unveil its most powerful Charger Sixpack yet to the public on August 8 during Roadkill Nights in Pontiac, Michigan.
