The Super Bee badge is back on a Dodge Charger, and it lands with the most power that name has ever carried. For Nova Scotia shoppers who have been watching the Charger’s move to turbocharged SIXPACK power, this is the version built to lead that story forward.
This article covers what has actually been confirmed about the 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition: the engineering behind it, how it sits next to the Charger R/T, Scat Pack, and Daytona Scat Pack, and what it means for buyers in the province tracking ordering news.
What’s Confirmed for the Super Bee Launch Edition
The Super Bee name first appeared on a Dodge in 1968, joined the Charger lineup in 1971, and returned as a limited-production model in 2007. The last generation closed out in 2023 at 485 horsepower. The 2027 version resets that benchmark entirely, arriving during the Charger’s 60th anniversary year.
At the centre of the Launch Edition is a Super Bee-exclusive high-output tune of the 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six SIXPACK engine, built around larger Garrett turbochargers. It’s SAE-certified at 600 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, a power density of 200 horsepower per litre, and it pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Dodge quotes a 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) time of 3.6 seconds and a quarter-mile of 11.8 seconds for the Super Bee, both quicker than the standard Scat Pack. Power reaches the ground through standard all-wheel drive with an on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode, activated from a dedicated button on the steering wheel that sends torque fully to the rear.
The Super Bee requires premium fuel, and its hardware was built around track use: adaptive dampers front and rear, 20-inch forged wheels wrapped in 305/35ZR20 summer tires, and a Brembo brake package sized specifically for this model. An expanded cooling system and a reworked front splitter and rear spoiler support sustained high-speed and track driving rather than short bursts.
- 600 hp / 531 lb-ft from a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six
- 3.6-second 0-100 km/h, 11.8-second quarter-mile
- Standard AWD with on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode
- Eight-speed automatic, premium fuel required
Exterior identity is built around three colours exclusive to the Launch Edition: Sucker Punch, Shady, and Diamond Black, each paired with gloss-black graphics, a new turbo-inspired Super Bee logo, gloss-black 20-inch wheels, and Hyper Lime brake calipers. Inside, the Super Bee gets cloth high-back performance seats with an embroidered Super Bee logo on the headrests, Sour Lemon stitching, a leather performance steering wheel with the RWD button, and a Super Bee instrument-panel badge not found on other Charger trims.
Where the Super Bee Fits in the Charger Lineup
The Super Bee joins a Charger lineup that already spans gas and electric power. R/T and Scat Pack use versions of the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo SIXPACK engine, while the Daytona Scat Pack runs a dual-motor electric powertrain.

The Super Bee shares its torque figure with the Scat Pack but adds 50 horsepower through its exclusive turbo and calibration package, with that torque arriving earlier and holding further into the rev range. It sits as a limited-production step above the Scat Pack rather than a replacement for it, aimed at buyers chasing the sharpest gas-powered Charger available.
What Matters for Nova Scotia Shoppers Right Now
The Super Bee Launch Edition is built in Canada at the Windsor Assembly Plant, alongside the rest of the multi-energy Charger lineup. That’s worth knowing for anyone in the province weighing a Canadian-built performance car against imported alternatives.
This is a limited-production model, so the appeal is narrower than the Scat Pack or R/T. It suits an enthusiast who wants the most hardcore gas-powered Charger available and values the exclusivity of unique colours, graphics, and badging over daily-driver flexibility.
Buyers who want an everyday Charger with strong output should still look at the Scat Pack, which delivers most of the Super Bee’s torque without the limited build run. Buyers drawn to electric performance and range should look at the Daytona Scat Pack instead. The Super Bee is for the shopper who wants the specific combination of a turbocharged inline-six, adaptive suspension, and a nameplate with a 60-year history behind it.
Premium fuel is a real running-cost factor to weigh against the R/T, which is built around a lower-output tune of the same engine family. The Super Bee’s summer tires also mean it’s built as a fair-weather performance car first, not a year-round commuter.
Ordering the 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition
