A legendary badge just came back swinging. The 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition revives one of Dodge’s most storied nameplates with a level of power and track hardware it never carried before, and Nova Scotia enthusiasts are already asking what it means for the driveway.
This is not a trim bump. It is a limited-production, purpose-built performance car layered onto the SIXPACK-powered Charger platform, arriving during the Charger’s 60th anniversary.
What’s Confirmed About the Super Bee Launch Edition
The Super Bee Launch Edition is built around a Super Bee-exclusive high-output version of the 3.0-litre twin-turbo SIXPACK inline-six. Larger 56mm Garrett turbochargers push output to a SAE-certified 600 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel, running through an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive with an on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode.
That is a genuine step above the rest of the SIXPACK lineup. The standard-output Charger R/T makes 420 hp, and the Charger Scat Pack’s high-output SIXPACK produces 550 hp. The Super Bee’s 600 hp comes from bigger turbos, more boost, and a broader torque curve, not simply a software tweak.
The numbers back it up: 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a quarter-mile of 11.8 seconds, both quicker than the Scat Pack and quicker than any Super Bee before it, including the 2023 Charger Super Bee’s 485 hp and 4.5-second sprint.
The Charger lineup, including the Super Bee, is assembled in Canada, with performance development supported through Stellantis’ Automotive Research and Development Centre.

The hardware around that engine is where the Super Bee separates itself from the Scat Pack it’s built from. Cooling capacity in the high-temperature radiator circuit increases by more than 50%, and the low-temperature circuit more than doubles, changes meant to keep 600 hp consistent through repeated hard runs rather than a single pull.
Braking gets a similar jump. The 40 cm Brembo rotors and six-piston front calipers are standard for the first time on a SIXPACK Charger, delivering triple the brake fade resistance of any other SIXPACK Charger. The wider 305-section tires and reworked suspension bushings sharpen turn-in and reduce understeer, tuning aimed squarely at road-course use, not just straight-line bragging rights.
What Sets the Launch Edition Apart
Three exterior themes give the Launch Edition distinct personalities while keeping a shared identity. The centerpiece is a new Sucker Punch yellow-green, paired with gloss-black “Stinger” bodyside graphics. Diamond Black layers in Sucker Punch accents on the spoiler and stripes, while Shady takes a stealthier gray-and-black tone-on-tone approach.
Every version carries Hyper Lime brake calipers with SRT by Brembo lettering, a reworked Super Bee logo inspired by a turbocharger’s spool, and a dedicated instrument-panel badge.
Inside, the Launch Edition introduces the first cloth high-back performance seats offered on the modern Charger, with embroidered Super Bee headrest logos and Sour Lemon accent stitching against Citrus Peel inserts. A leather performance steering wheel adds a dedicated RWD-mode button and larger paddle shifters.
This level of detail sits alongside the broader personalization push across the 2027 Charger lineup, which adds more than 25 new factory options across seats, stripes, and trim.
Who The Super Bee Launch Edition Is Built For
This is a car for a specific buyer: someone who wants a Charger that can back up its looks at a track day and hold value as a limited-production piece down the road. The dedicated Track and Drag modes, the RWD button, and the reinforced half-shafts point at repeat hard use, not weekend cruising.
Someone cross-shopping the standard Scat Pack for daily-driver muscle should know the trade-off. The Scat Pack’s 550 hp and standard hardware cover most street and occasional-track needs at a lower entry point. The Super Bee’s 600 hp, bigger brakes, and stiffer suspension are for buyers chasing lower lap times and quicker passes, plus the collectible upside of a limited nameplate revival.
Ordering And Next Steps
The Super Bee Launch Edition is confirmed as a limited-production model built on the SIXPACK Charger platform. Ordering and availability details for this specific edition are being managed separately from the rest of the 2027 Charger lineup.
Nova Scotia shoppers who want a Charger sooner still have options: the SIXPACK-powered R/T and Scat Pack, along with the all-electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack, are already part of the current lineup.
Ready For The Super Bee’s Return
The 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition pairs a genuine performance leap, 600 hp, sharper brakes, and track-tuned suspension, with a limited production run and a nameplate that has meant something to Dodge fans since 1968.
