Dodge showed up with a sledgehammer disguised as an upgraded 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six. The latest iteration of the Charger Sixpack resurrects the legendary Super Bee moniker, and for anyone weeping into their morning coffee over the demise of supercharged V8s, Detroit offers a surprisingly lethal “consolation prize”.
Underneath that sculpted hood sit twin 56-millimeter Garrett turbochargers, forcing 7.5% more air into the straight-six lungs. The headline figure? A staggering 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of torque available flatly from 3,000 all the way to 5,900 rpm. An eight-speed automatic handles shifting duties, feeding a default all-wheel-drive configuration designed to keep you out of the hedges. A single button on the steering wheel instantly redirects 100% of that massive twist straight to the rear wheels.
That burnout-friendly setup propels the Super Bee down the quarter-mile in a brisk 11.8 seconds. To ensure those sub-12-second passes don’t end in an unscripted meeting with the dragstrip wall, giant 16-inch ventilated Brembo brakes, clamped by six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, stand ready.
Recognizing that hard-driven turbo engines generate enough heat to roast a small pig, Dodge overhauled thermal management. High-temperature radiator capacity jumps by over 50%, while the low-temp circuit doubles. A re-engineered front fascia shoves 30% more air into the engine bay while pinning the nose down with over 100 pounds of downforce at 150 mph.
Under the skin, dual-valve adaptive dampers constantly monitor road chaos, paired with front steering arm bushings stiffened by 50% and a rear stabilizer bar tightened by 20% to fight understeer. Massive 20×11-inch forged wheels carry sticky 305/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 rubber at all four corners.
Drivers can cycle through Track Mode for razor-sharp steering, Drag Mode for optimized rearward weight transfer, and an updated Torque Reserve system that pre-spools the Garretts while your foot stays planted on the brake.
The Super Bee becomes the first Sixpack equipped with Race Prep, keeping the cooling fans roaring long after ignition shutoff. Available in an eye-watering new 2027 color called Sucker Punch yellow-green or Diamond Black, this aggressive package comes complete with dedicated seats, a leather sport wheel, larger paddle shifters, and pricing Dodge promises to reveal before the year closes.
