Stellantis is promoting the new Charger with two drift cars powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six upgraded to about 750 hp, converted to rear-wheel drive and paired with manual transmissions for events like Roadkill Nights, Gridlife, and FuelFest. The effort showcases tuning potential and marketing appeal, but fans still want a traditional V8 option in the lineup.
Dodge has teased a new Charger Sixpack dubbed the Charger Super Bee, set to debut on August 7 alongside Roadkill Nights as part of the Charger’s 60th‑anniversary festivities. The teaser hints at a twin‑turbo 3.0‑liter Hurricane inline‑six producing more than 550 hp (with around 600 hp expected) and about 531 lb‑ft of torque, aiming for sub‑4‑second 0–60 mph times and a quarter‑mile in under 12 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 introduces the 2026 Charger Sixpack R/T as the base variant powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six making 420 horsepower. All Charger models remain four-door with standard all-wheel drive, and the design nods to the 1968 Charger. Exterior and interior photos are available to view.
Dodge will unveil the next, more powerful Sixpack Charger at RoadKill Nights on August 8, 2026, at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, suggesting Hurricane-powered output will surpass 600 hp but still not exceed the 670-hp Charger Daytona EV; current Charger variants top at 420 hp (R/T) and 550 hp (Scat Pack). The brand notes the Charger remains slow-selling with a large dealer inventory, and a Hellcat V-8 return is still unconfirmed.
