2012 Dodge Charger Super Bee in San Jose
2012 Dodge Charger Super Bee available for order NOW
at Normandin Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram!!
Last month at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) team unveiled an exclusive production run of a special-edition muscle car, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8® Super Bee.
A Look Back: Super Bee (1968-1971)
Introduced in 1968 as part of the "Scat Pack," Dodge's exclusive coterie of high-performance cars, the Dodge Super Bee offered enthusiasts muscle-car performance at an affordable price. In fact, you could buy a Super Bee for a little more than $3,000. Based on the Dodge Coronet, it was offered as a two-door coupe model only. The standard engine was a 335-horsepower version of the 383-cubic inch V8 (the legendary 426 HEMI® V8 also was available).
Since the 1971 Coronet was only available in sedan and station wagon versions, the Super Bee was moved to the Charger platform, but continued to offer an impressive engine lineup.
A Look Back: Super Bee (2007-2009)
For the 2007 model year, Dodge and SRT revived the Super Bee nameplate with the limited-edition Dodge Charger SRT8®. It featured "Detonator Yellow" exterior color with black hood and decklid face, unique "hockey stick" stripes on the rear fenders, Super Bee logos on front and rear fenders, and contrasting yellow stitching on the seats, steering wheel and shift knob. The wheels were fully polished versus the stock SRT8® Charger which featured wheels with silver painted areas.
The 2008 Charger SRT8®
Super Bee package featured a B5 Blue Pearl Coat exterior reminiscent of
the blue used by Chrysler vehicles in the 1960s and 1970s. Blue accent
stitching was also found on the seats and steering wheel. Instead of
fully polished SRT8® Charger wheels, the 2008 Charger SRT8® Super Bee
pockets were painted black.
In 2009, the Super Bee
package featured HEMI® Orange Pearl Coat paint with decals on the hood
and rear quarter fenders. The 2009 Super Bee featured wheels with
black anodized pockets and silver Brembo® brake calipers.
