The story so far
Enthusiasts will soon feel the impact of a revived Charger Super Bee, now slated to arrive with a turbocharged inline‑six that could redefine the muscle‑car experience. This timing aligns with the brand’s broader push to modernize powertrain options while preserving the Super Bee’s heritage. Car and Driver reported that Dodge essentially announced the new Super Bee, while Motor1.com said the company teased the return of the iconic nameplate.
Autoblog noted the upcoming SRT Charger could target 1,000 horsepower without a V8, and ABC7 highlighted that the model will be offered in electric or gasoline form, still without a V8. The Drive observed the likely configuration will center on a turbocharged inline‑six engine. Watch for Dodge’s official specifications, including confirmed power output, pricing and production schedule.
