Dodge plans to revive the GLH badge as a Hornet-based hot crossover with a turbocharged four, aiming for best-in-class performance and a faster SRT variant later; Dodge frames the GLH as a gateway into its higher-performance lineup (e.g., Charger, Durango) in a segment it sees growing despite weaker demand for small hot hatches in the U.S.
Dodge unveils a 600-hp Charger Super Bee with enhanced cooling, aerodynamics and brakes, initially as a limited 2027 Launch Edition but planned for mass-market release in 2028.

Dodge revives the Charger Super Bee with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six tuned to 600hp and 531 lb-ft of torque, aided by two Garrett turbos, upgraded cooling and a revised ECU. The Launch Edition adds 16-inch Brembo brakes, 20-inch forged wheels, adaptive dampers, and an aero package, plus a redesigned front end for better airflow; 0–60mph is 3.6 seconds and the quarter mile 11.8 seconds.

The reveal is accompanied by other Dodge celebrations on Woodward and at NHRA events, with “new product announcements” teased beyond the Super Bee.
Dodge teases a new era for the Charger with a turbocharged inline-six Super Bee, promising a more powerful Hurricane-powered model to be unveiled August 7, 2026 during Road Kill Nights; while the current Scat Pack makes 550 hp, a higher-output Hurricane I6 is in the works, and a Hemi-powered Charger SRT is expected later.
A circulating Instagram video allegedly shows two redesigned Dodge Charger prototypes—one with a new front end and bigger wheels, the other bearing a 'Powered By SRT' decal—stoking talk of a future high-performance SRT/Hellcat variant. Authenticity is unconfirmed, and Dodge has teased a V8-powered model, but the current top Charger remains the Daytona Scat Pack at 550 hp from a turbo inline-six.
Automakers are reviving inline-six engines for smoother operation and efficiency. Mazda launches a 3.3L turbo inline-six in the CX-90 (also in CX-60/70), Dodge/Jeep/Ram use a 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo for strong performance, Mercedes-Benz adds the M256 Evo 3.0L with up to 503 hp in PHEV form, and Land Rover offers the Ingenium 3.0L with 395–542 hp in mild-hybrid and PHEV variants. Benefits cited include simpler production (one head and exhaust manifold), smoother operation, and improved efficiency versus V6s.
Dodge raises the 2027 Charger Daytona’s prices by up to $12,500 (2‑Door) and $11,000 (4‑Door) with only minor updates like a new NACS charging port and 25 factory options, leaving power unchanged at 670 hp; starting prices are $72,495 for the 2‑Door and $72,995 for the 4‑Door (before destination). Dodge cites market dynamics and policy changes, while speculation points to tariffs or higher EV component costs; meanwhile the gas‑powered Sixpack lineup keeps its prices, highlighting odd pricing moves across the lineup.
Dodge is taking orders for the 2027 Charger Daytona Scat Pack AWD, packing up to 670 hp with a 0–60 of about 3.3 seconds.

The car retains its performance features and adds drive modes like Drift/Donut, Launch Control, and a PowerShot boost, plus interior tech upgrades. Pricing climbs from the 2026 model to $72,495 for the base Scat Pack ($72,995 with four doors) and $77,490 for the Scat Pack Plus ($77,990 four‑door), with a claimed range up to 267 miles. Orders are open and deliveries are expected in Q3 2026. Some commenters dispute the charger access figure, noting adapters can already reach most networks.
Dodge’s Copperhead SRT isn’t based on the Charger because of its multi‑energy design, which requires different underpinnings; it will have a combustion engine but could use an unconventional or as‑yet‑unknown powertrain, with Stellantis exploring a global platform and a halo‑car timeline through 2030, plus a tech reveal slated for this summer ahead of Roadkill Nights.
Stellantis previews a Copperhead SRT, a new 'hyper muscle' halo car for Dodge and not a Viper successor, shown as a mock-up to investors; production targeted by 2030 under a five-year plan that also includes the GLH hatch and a revived SRT lineup, with no pricing or launch specifics disclosed and a goal of about 135,000 North American units by 2030.
