2027 Dodge Charger SRT Release Date Updates – American muscle car fans eagerly tracking the return of true SRT performance to the modern Dodge Charger have one clear question: when will the high-powered SRT version arrive? As of August 2026, there is no official 2027 Dodge Charger SRT model with a confirmed release date. The current 2027 Charger lineup focuses on twin-turbo SIXPACK inline-six gas models and the electric Daytona, while a full SRT Hellcat variant remains in development for a later arrival.
Expected 2027 Dodge Charger SRT Release Date
Dodge has not scheduled a production 2027 Charger SRT for U.S. dealerships. Multiple reports from trusted sources, including MotorTrend and Carscoops, state that a revived SRT or Hemi-powered Charger remains unconfirmed for the 2027 model year.
Industry sources and insider reports consistently point to a 2028 model-year target for the Charger SRT Hellcat. This timing aligns with the expected mid-cycle refresh of the current-generation (LB) platform. Model-year 2028 vehicles typically begin arriving at U.S. dealerships in the second half of the prior calendar year, so late 2027 is a realistic window for the first units if development stays on track.
Stellantis has confirmed an SRT variant is coming and has shown a prototype to media at its Auburn Hills headquarters. The vehicle is described as due on sale before 2030, leaving room for the 2028 model-year plan.
Current 2027 Dodge Charger Lineup Status
Orders for the 2027 Dodge Charger are open now, with vehicles scheduled to reach U.S. dealerships in the third quarter of 2026. The lineup carries over the multi-energy strategy introduced for 2026:
- Gas-powered SIXPACK R/T: 420 horsepower from the 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six
- Gas-powered SIXPACK Scat Pack: 550 horsepower from the high-output version of the same engine
- All-electric Daytona Scat Pack: 670 horsepower
All models offer two-door and four-door body styles with standard all-wheel drive (plus a rear-drive mode on gas versions). For 2027, Dodge added more than 25 factory customization options, including new Mopar graphics, Petrol Blue leather seats, Demonic Red seat belts, additional Brembo caliper colors, and a Satin Black hood option. The electric Daytona also gains a native NACS charging port for Tesla Supercharger access.
A higher-output SIXPACK model—widely expected to wear Super Bee badging and approach or exceed 600 horsepower—is scheduled for reveal around August 7-8, 2026, at the Roadkill Nights event in Michigan. This will be the most powerful Sixpack Charger yet, but it is not an SRT or Hellcat.
Confirmed SRT Hellcat Features and Expected Specs
Reports from the Detroit Free Press and subsequent coverage by Carscoops and CarExpert confirm that the upcoming Charger SRT will use the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8. Power is expected to exceed 700 horsepower, with some estimates aligning it closer to the 777 hp output of the latest Ram SRT TRX/Rumble Bee hardware.
Styling cues shown to media include a more aggressive front end with a prominent hood scoop and a massive Superbird-inspired rear wing. The package will carry SRT badging and is expected to launch first as a two-door before a potential four-door follows. No official photos have been released, and performance figures, transmission details, and final pricing remain unconfirmed.
Pricing Expectations and U.S. Availability
Current 2027 Charger pricing (including destination) starts around $51,990 for the R/T two-door and climbs to the mid-$70,000s for Daytona Scat Pack models. An SRT Hellcat will command a significant premium—likely starting near or above $80,000 based on past Hellcat positioning and current Scat Pack pricing.
U.S. buyers can order 2027 SIXPACK and Daytona models through Dodge dealers today. The SRT Hellcat will follow the same national allocation process once production begins, with initial deliveries expected to prioritize high-demand markets.
Alternatives While Waiting for the SRT
Enthusiasts who want maximum performance sooner have two strong options in the current lineup: the 550-hp Scat Pack SIXPACK (0-60 mph in a claimed 3.9 seconds) and the 670-hp electric Daytona Scat Pack (0-60 in 3.3 seconds). The upcoming higher-output Super Bee SIXPACK should further close the gap for gas fans who prefer the twin-turbo six over waiting for the Hellcat V8.
Dodge continues to emphasize its multi-energy strategy while restoring classic SRT muscle. The Charger SRT Hellcat represents the brand’s clearest signal yet that the supercharged V8 is returning to the nameplate, even if the official 2027 model year does not include it. Stay tuned to official Dodge channels and trusted outlets for the first official confirmation and firm on-sale timing.
