2027 Dodge Charger SRT Release Date Updates – American muscle fans are closely watching every update on a potential high-performance SRT version of the current-generation Dodge Charger. While the full 2027 Charger lineup is already reaching U.S. dealerships, a true SRT-badged model—widely expected to revive Hellcat-level power—remains in development rather than confirmed for the 2027 model year. Here is the latest on release timing, performance hierarchy, and what buyers can expect based on official announcements and reliable industry reports.
Current 2027 Dodge Charger Lineup Status
The 2027 Dodge Charger is available in both gas-powered SIXPACK (Hurricane twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six) and all-electric Daytona forms. Orders opened earlier in 2026, with vehicles beginning to arrive at U.S. dealers in the third quarter of 2026 and continuing into the model year.
Core gas models include the Charger R/T (420 horsepower) and Scat Pack (550 horsepower), both with standard all-wheel drive and a selectable rear-wheel-drive mode. The electric Daytona Scat Pack delivers 670 horsepower. For 2027, Dodge added more than 25 factory customization options, including new graphics, interior colors such as Petrol Blue leather, Demonic Red seat belts, and additional Brembo caliper colors, plus a native NACS charging port on the Daytona for easier Tesla Supercharger access.
2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition Details
The closest current performance peak for gas models is the limited-production 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition. It boosts the high-output SIXPACK engine to a SAE-certified 600 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque via larger turbochargers and other upgrades. Dodge claims 0-60 mph in about 3.6 seconds and a quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds, making it the quickest and most powerful SIXPACK Charger to date and the strongest Super Bee ever.
Track-focused hardware includes improved cooling, aerodynamics, brakes, and wider summer tires, plus a Driver Experience Recorder. The Launch Edition is limited, available in select colors with special graphics, and is expected to arrive later in 2026, with pricing and exact production numbers to be announced. A broader Super Bee offering is planned for 2028. This model currently serves as the ICE performance flagship while higher-output SRT work continues.
Dodge Charger SRT Status and Expected Timeline
A dedicated Charger SRT variant is confirmed as part of Stellantis’ longer-term performance plans, including the FaSTLAne 2030 roadmap. Multiple reports indicate the model will feature aggressive styling—such as a power-dome hood and Superbird-inspired rear wing—and is widely expected to use a supercharged Hellcat-derived V8, potentially in the 700-plus or even 777-horsepower range similar to the latest Ram TRX.
However, MotorTrend and other outlets note that a revived SRT or Hemi-powered Charger remains unconfirmed for the 2027 model year. Earlier 2026 reports pointed toward a possible 2028 model-year arrival, aligning with a mid-cycle refresh of the current platform. Dodge CEO Matt McAlear has stated that SRT has more projects in development beyond the Super Bee and upcoming GLH models, emphasizing continued progress without locking in exact V8 timing for the Charger.
In short, no official 2027 Dodge Charger SRT release date has been announced. The Super Bee fills the near-term high-performance gas role, while a full SRT/Hellcat version is targeted later in the decade, most commonly discussed for the 2028 model year or beyond.
What U.S. Buyers Should Watch Next?
Monitor official Dodge and Stellantis channels for Super Bee ordering and pricing details expected later in 2026. Build-and-price tools already include the core 2027 R/T, Scat Pack, and Daytona models. Any SRT confirmation would likely include updated exterior design cues and powertrain specifics. Pricing for a future SRT is expected to sit well above current Scat Pack and Super Bee levels, potentially in the $80,000-plus range based on historical Hellcat positioning and current Ram TRX figures.
The 2027 Charger already delivers strong performance and extensive personalization for American buyers seeking modern muscle with both gas and electric options. The Super Bee raises the bar further this year, while the full SRT chapter remains a highly anticipated next step in Dodge’s performance roadmap.
