Dodge Charger Super Bee launch and police vehicle prototypes

Overview

In early June 2026, Dodge confirmed the Charger’s European return for its 60th anniversary, offering gasoline SIX‑PACK and electric Daytona variants. Power outputs range from a 550 hp twin‑turbo inline‑six in the Scat Pack to a 670 hp electric Daytona Scat Pack. Stellantis and Factorial Energy have progressed solid‑state battery development, integrating FEST cells into Charger Daytona prototypes for testing in North America, Brazil, and Europe. These cells deliver 375 Wh/kg and charge from 15% to 90% in 18 minutes. As Stellantis pivots toward electrification to meet tightening emissions standards, the brand is phasing out high-performance internal combustion models. In August 2026, production of the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat—the final 710-horsepower supercharged V8 SUV model—was discontinued. Future Durango variants are expected to utilize hybrid or fully electric powertrains by the mid-2020s. To honor the Charger’s 60th anniversary, Dodge unveiled the 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition. This high-performance variant departs from traditional HEMI V8 engines in favor of a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged ‘SIXPACK High Output’ inline-six engine equipped with twin 56mm Garrett turbochargers. Producing 600 horsepower and approximately 720 Nm of torque, the model can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. CEO Matt McAlear stated the vehicle is designed to be the ‘most powerful Super Bee ever produced.’ During the 11th annual Roadkill Nights event, Dodge further detailed the transition to turbocharged straight-six configurations. The 2026 Dodge Charger R/T was introduced, utilizing a 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane straight-six engine with a Standard Output version producing 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. This new model features a wheelbase of over 121 inches and weighs approximately 4,921 pounds. Beyond consumer models, Stellantis is preparing for the Charger’s return to law enforcement fleets.
