Summary

Dodge Debuts SuperBee

The Roadkill Nights festival on August 7, 2026 in Pontiac debuted the Super Bee alongside concept models.
Organizers introduced a road-course time-trial at the M1 track, adding a new competition layer.
CEO Matt McAlear called the festival Dodge’s “Super Bowl of horsepower” and highlighted a shift back to gasoline under looser emissions rules.
Eight racers in the Grudge Race used the latest Charger, some topping 1,000 hp on equal budgets.

History

Historical Context

In mid-1966 Dodge introduced the fastback Charger to challenge AMC’s Rambler Marlin, pricing it around $3,000. By 1968 Chrysler’s marketing campaign added the bee-striped Super Bee and R/T models, boosting Charger production to 96,100 units, including over 17,000 R/Ts. The high-horsepower launch helped revive Dodge’s image and set a performance benchmark echoed in today’s electric-era releases.
