It Sure Looks Like the Dodge Charger Super Bee Is Coming Back With a Turbocharged Inline-Six
Dodge revives the Super Bee, promising turbocharged power without a V8.
The obvious questions
What engine configuration is the revived Super Bee expected to use?
Headlines point to a turbocharged inline‑six, with no V8 planned.
How much power is rumored for the upcoming model?
Autoblog mentioned a potential output of about 1,000 horsepower.
Are electric power options part of the new Super Bee lineup?
ABC7 reported that the Charger will offer electric or gasoline‑powered muscle variants, still without a V8.
The story so far
The shift stems from Dodge’s strategic move away from large V8s toward more efficient turbocharged and electric powertrains. Industry chatter points to regulatory pressure and a desire to keep the Charger competitive without sacrificing the heritage that made the Super Bee legendary.
By pairing a turbocharged inline‑six with the possibility of an electric variant, the company aims to deliver muscle car thrills while meeting evolving emissions expectations. Car and Driver and Motor1.com reported the tease, while Autoblog cited a potential 1,000‑horsepower output and confirmed the absence of a V8.
ABC7 highlighted the dual electric or gasoline muscle positioning, and The Drive noted the likely turbocharged inline‑six architecture. The open question remains: will the new Super Bee’s powertrain satisfy purists while appealing to a broader, eco‑conscious market?
