The Drive reports the model appears to use a turbocharged inline‑six.

The story so far
Fans anticipate a blend of classic aggression with modern engineering, even as they wonder how the revival will affect the segment’s power dynamics. Autoblog added that the next SRT Charger could reach 1,000 hp without a V8, and ABC7 noted that the model may be offered in electric or gasoline form, still lacking a V8 engine.
Evidence points to a turbocharged inline‑six as the heart of the upcoming Super Bee, per The Drive’s observation of the engine layout. The omission of a V8 across multiple reports suggests Dodge is shifting toward forced‑induction and possibly hybridization.
With power targets and drivetrain options hinted but not confirmed, the key question remains: will the revived Super Bee deliver the promised performance while redefining Dodge’s muscle‑car identity?
