FactDodge debuted a B5 Blue Super Bee at the 2007 Detroit auto show, then put it on sale in early 2008 capped at just 1,000 cars.
A new 2007 Super Bee was introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, based on the Dodge Charger SRT8 with special "Detonator Yellow" paint, a "Flat Black" hood and fender decals (the production version had a hood decal and a dashed black side stripe), fully polished wheels, an all-black interior with yellow accent stitching, carbon-fiber-look shifter bezel and console, and the Super Bee logo in the instrument cluster. It is a limited edition: 1,000 made for 2007 (built at Brampton, then decals applied and a numbered plaque added at Windsor), 1,000 for 2008 in "B5 Blue Pearl Coat" reminiscent of the blue used on 1960s and 1970s Chryslers (with touch screen navigation and an in-dash DVD player) and 425 for 2009 in "Hemi Orange Pearl Coat" (with a hard-drive DVD player and Alcoa wheels standard that year only). It uses the same 425 bhp 6.1 L Hemi as the SRT8 versions of the Charger, Magnum, Challenger and Chrysler 300C, with a 5-speed W5A580 automatic. Wheelbase 304.8 cm (120.0 in), length 508.3 cm (200.1 in), width 189 cm (74.5 in), height 148 cm (58.2 in).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The 2027 Super Bee swapped its V8 for a turbocharged Hurricane inline-six making 600 hp — the first Super Bee ever built without a V8.
Dodge revived the Super Bee nameplate for 2012 in two deliberately retro shades: "Stinger Yellow" and "Pitch Black," a wink at the original 1968 bee.

This Super Bee has nothing to do with the real Dodge Aspen/Volare twins it's built from — Chrysler de México just kept recycling old nameplates long after the US had retired them.
1971 was the only year Dodge ever put a small-block under the Super Bee's hood — every other year it was big-block V8 or nothing, right up to the Hemi.
Mexico’s Super Bee actually out-muscled its American namesake — looser emissions rules there let the same 318 and 360 V8s make more horsepower than the US-spec engines.
A designer won an in-house naming contest to call it Super Bee, then Dodge added a pricier Hurst shifter that undercut its own sales pitch.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
