Dodge is bringing some serious attitude back to the Charger lineup with the new 2027 Dodge Charger Sixpack Super Bee, introduced to celebrate the nameplate’s 60th anniversary. V8 loyalists may not be thrilled, but this Super Bee swaps old-school Hemi thunder for a heavily upgraded 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six.

Larger 58-mm Garrett turbochargers help the six-cylinder produce an impressive 600 hp (608 PS) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque. Power is sent through an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Despite weighing around 4,800 pounds (2,177 kg), the Charger Super Bee can sprint from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 3.6 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds.

Its performance hardware doesn't stop there. The car can reach 175 mph (282 km/h), so Dodge fitted massive 16-inch Brembo brakes with six-piston front calipers to bring all that momentum back under control. Adaptive dampers and stiffer spring rates should also make the Super Bee more capable when the road gets twisty.

Dodge has even added a Cosworth drive recorder, suggesting this isn't simply a straight-line muscle car. The combination of upgraded suspension, serious braking hardware and all-wheel-drive traction gives the Super Bee genuine road-course ambitions.

Sure, six cylinders don't produce the unmistakable soundtrack of a classic Hemi V8. But with 600 turbocharged horsepower on tap, this Charger is hardly short on attitude.

Can a 600-hp twin-turbo inline-six deliver the excitement muscle-car fans expect from a Hemi V8? Does standard AWD improve the Charger’s performance without sacrificing its muscle-car identity? And does the legendary Super Bee badge still feel right on a six-cylinder car?
