2027 Dodge Charger Performance Specs: Hurricane SIXPACK Power and Handling
The 2027 Dodge Charger SIXPACK makes 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque in Standard Output form. The High Output version raises that to 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft. The limited-production Charger Super Bee Launch Edition pushes the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six to a SAE-certified 600 horsepower and 531 lb-ft. Every gasoline Charger pairs the engine with an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic and standard all-wheel drive.
The 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six replaces the naturally aspirated V8s that powered previous Chargers. The Standard Output version is the engine in the Charger R/T. It delivers full torque at 2,500 rpm. The High Output version powers the Charger Scat Pack, using higher boost and strengthened internals to reach its 550-horsepower rating.
Both versions use high-pressure direct injection and dual overhead camshafts. Visit our Highland Avenue showroom and you can feel how fast the twin turbochargers build power from a standstill. For questions about availability or powertrain details, call our sales team at 909-675-1186.
How Do 0-60 Times and Specs Compare Across 2027 Charger SIXPACK Trims?
Performance by Trim
The SIXPACK lineup spans three performance levels. The 600-horsepower Super Bee Launch Edition reaches 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds. The 550-horsepower Scat Pack hits 60 mph in 3.9 seconds with a 12.2-second quarter-mile. The 420-horsepower R/T reaches 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds. Standard all-wheel drive helps every trim put power down off the line.

What Key Engineering Features Define the 3.0L Twin-Turbo Hurricane Inline-Six?
Block, Bores, and Fuel System
The Hurricane is built on a deep-skirt cast-aluminum block with cross-bolted steel main bearing caps. Inside are a forged steel crankshaft and forged steel connecting rods. The cylinder bores use a Plasma Transfer Wire Arc coating. That coating is an ultra-thin, low-friction wear surface, and it replaces heavy cast-iron liners.
Deep-Skirt Aluminum Block
Cast-aluminum block paired with a structural aluminum alloy oil pan.
5,075 PSI Direct Injection
High-pressure direct fuel injection operating at 5,075 psi.
24-Valve DOHC Layout
Dual overhead camshafts in a 24-valve inline-six configuration.
Water-to-Air Charge Cooling
Engine-mounted water-to-air charge coolers.
Water-Cooled Exhaust Manifolds
Dual water-cooled exhaust manifolds manage heat at the turbochargers.
Turbocharger and Boost by Trim
Boost comes from two low-inertia Garrett turbochargers. Each one feeds three cylinders. Turbo size and boost pressure climb as you move up the lineup.
| Trim | Turbochargers | Peak Boost |
|---|---|---|
| Charger R/T | Twin low-inertia Garrett turbochargers | 22 psi |
| Charger Scat Pack | Twin 54mm Garrett GT2054, spinning up to 185,000 rpm | Up to 30 psi |
| Charger Super Bee Launch Edition | Twin 56mm Garrett turbochargers | Over 30 psi |
The Super Bee also gets a custom engine calibration and a larger cooling system to support the higher output.
How Does Hurricane Twin-Turbo Power Compare to the 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI V8?
The Hurricane inline-six is a smaller, lighter package than the HEMI V8 engines it replaced. It also makes more power in both states of tune. The R/T’s Standard Output engine adds 50 horsepower and 73 lb-ft over the previous 5.7L HEMI R/T. The Scat Pack’s High Output engine adds 65 horsepower and 56 lb-ft over the 6.4L 392 HEMI, which produced 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft.
Delivery changed as much as the peak figures. The 6.4L HEMI made its peak torque high in the rev range. The R/T’s SIXPACK engine delivers full torque at 2,500 rpm. The Scat Pack’s High Output engine holds more than 90% of peak torque from 3,000 to 6,000 rpm. That is the difference you feel at part throttle in traffic rather than at the top of the tachometer. For background on Dodge V8 history and where the HEMI stands today, read our guide to the return of the V8 HEMI.
How Do All-Wheel Drive, RWD Mode, Line Lock, and Launch Control Work?
Every 2027 Charger SIXPACK comes standard with all-wheel drive and an on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode. Press the button and the car routes 100% of engine torque to the rear wheels. That gives you traditional muscle car character whenever you want it.
Drive modes are selected through the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen or through steering-wheel controls. Standard modes include Sport, Auto, Eco, Wet/Snow, and Valet. The Scat Pack adds a Custom mode. The Super Bee Launch Edition adds Track Mode and Drag Mode, the first time either has appeared on a SIXPACK-powered Charger. It also gets a dedicated rear-wheel-drive button on the steering wheel.
| Feature | What It Does | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| On-Demand RWD Mode | Sends 100% of engine torque to the rear wheels at the push of a button | Standard on every SIXPACK Charger |
| Line Lock | Clamps the front brakes so the rear tires can spin | Available on R/T with the Performance Handling Group; standard on Scat Pack and Super Bee |
| Launch Control | Manages engine output for a consistent hard launch | Available on R/T with the Performance Handling Group; standard on Scat Pack and Super Bee |
| Track Mode | Unique steering, traction control, and stability control calibrations for closed-course use | Super Bee Launch Edition |
| Drag Mode | Reduces front rebound and increases rear compression to maximize weight transfer | Super Bee Launch Edition |
| Torque Reserve | Builds boost against the brakes, then releases it to reduce turbo lag off the line | Super Bee Launch Edition |
Does the Inline-Six Layout Improve Handling Compared to Older V8 Chargers?
An inline-six is a narrower engine than a V8. That changes how the powertrain packages into the engine bay. On the 2027 Charger, though, the handling differences that matter come from hardware rather than layout alone.
Brake and Suspension Hardware by Trim
The R/T’s available Performance Handling Group brings the Scat Pack’s brake and suspension hardware to the base car. The Super Bee Launch Edition goes further in every category.
| Trim | Brakes | Suspension | Wheels and Tires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charger R/T with Performance Handling Group | 15-inch vented rotors, Brembo six-piston fixed front calipers, floating rears | Performance suspension | 20-by-10-inch wheels, 275/40ZR20 Goodyear |
| Charger Scat Pack (standard) | 15-inch vented rotors, Brembo six-piston fixed front calipers, floating rears | Performance suspension | 20-by-10-inch wheels, 275/40ZR20 Goodyear |
| Charger Super Bee Launch Edition | 16-inch Brembo vented rotors at all four corners, six-piston front and four-piston rear fixed calipers | Continuous Damping Control dual-valve adaptive dampers | 20-by-11-inch forged wheels, 305/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 |
The Super Bee’s adaptive dampers adjust damping force every 10 milliseconds. Dodge also raised front spring rates by 12% and rear spring rates by 6%, and made the rear stabilizer bar 20% stiffer. Drivers from Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, San Bernardino, Riverside, and West Covina can compare the R/T and the Scat Pack back to back at our Highland Avenue showroom.
Common Questions About 2027 Dodge Charger Hurricane Performance
Is the Hurricane engine built for high-stress use?
The Hurricane uses a forged steel crankshaft, forged steel connecting rods, and a deep-skirt cast-aluminum block with cross-bolted steel main bearing caps. Long-term reliability data for this engine generation is still developing. The architecture itself uses engine-mounted water-to-air charge coolers and dual water-cooled exhaust manifolds to manage heat under sustained load.
What performance packages are available for the 2027 Charger SIXPACK?
The Charger R/T offers the Performance Handling Group. It adds Line Lock, Launch Control, a Custom drive mode, 15-inch vented rotors with Brembo six-piston fixed front calipers, performance suspension, and 20-by-10-inch wheels with 275/40ZR20 Goodyear tires. The Blacktop Package adds dark wheels, dark badges, and black exhaust tips. Stepping up to an R/T Plus or Scat Pack Plus trim adds comfort and technology equipment rather than performance hardware.
What is the fuel economy for the 2027 Dodge Charger SIXPACK?
The Charger R/T is EPA-estimated at 17 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. The 550-horsepower Charger Scat Pack is EPA-estimated at 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. Dodge had not published separate 2027 model year ratings when this page was written, so confirm the figures on the window sticker of the specific vehicle you are considering.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
How does the Charger SIXPACK handle daily driving?
The eight-speed automatic keeps engine speed low at highway cruise. The on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode lets you choose between all-wheel-drive traction and rear-drive character depending on conditions. Standard Level 2 driver-assistance features include Active Driving Assist, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, Blind-spot Monitoring with Active Rear Cross Path detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Drowsy Driver Detection.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
