Dodge has introduced the Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, a limited-run model that brings more power and sharper handling to the Charger lineup.
The Super Bee is based on the Charger's 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six, not the electric Daytona.

Larger 56 mm Garrett turbochargers running at 30 psi and a tweaked exhaust help it produce 600 hp and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque.
While that falls short of the 707 hp supercharged Hellcat V8 from a decade ago, the Super Bee is quicker to 60 mph.
It sprints to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.6 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the 2015 Hellcat.
However, in the quarter-mile, the Super Bee runs 11.8 seconds, a full 0.8 second slower than the Hellcat's 11.0-second pass.
Dodge says the cooling capacity in the radiator circuit has been boosted by more than 50 percent, thanks to a new front-end with a new grille and larger air intakes.
Auxiliary radiators sit behind these intakes.
Handling and Drift Mode
The Super Bee features new continuous damping control dual-valve adaptive dampers, 12 percent stiffer front springs, 6 percent stiffer rear springs, and a 20 percent stiffer rear stabilizer bar.

Brakes are upgraded with 27 percent larger pads, six-piston Brembo front calipers, four-piston rear calipers, and 16-inch discs all around.
It rides on 20x11-inch wheels with 305/35 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires.
