Designed and built for the core performance enthusiast, the 2012 Dodge
Charger SRT8 Super Bee makes its public debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show
on Nov. 16.
"The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee is a salute to the fun-loving past of
Dodge muscle cars powered by the legendary 392 HEMI V-8 in a back-to-basics
performance machine," Ralph Gilles, President and CEO - SRT and Motorsports
said.
Exclusive Super Bee Content Inside and Out
The race-inspired interior of the 2012 Charger SRT8 Super Bee features the SRT
exclusive three-spoke contoured performance steering wheel, exclusive Z-stripe
cloth performance seats with amped yellow and silver striping in both the front
and rear as well as silver accent stitching and embroidered Super Bee logos on
each of the front seat headrests.
The instrument panel also features the Charger Super Bee logo on a unique dash
plaque.
Newly modified software includes the appearance of the Super Bee logo in the
center instrument panel's Electronic Vehicle Information Center at vehicle start
up.
On the exterior, the Charger Super Bee features a unique SRT badge with a 3-D
helmeted bee mascot on the new split crosshair grille finished in Gloss Black.
Satin black hood graphics mirror the black decklid stripes with a solid wide
center line flanked by solid dual tracer lines on the Stinger Yellow model,
while charcoal gray graphics are used on the hood and decklid of the Pitch Black
model. Standard rear decklid spoilers are matte black on the Stinger Yellow
model or matching body color on the Pitch Black model.
Both front fenders tout the historically significant V-8 engine with "392 HEMI"
badges first seen on the 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. Flanking both rear
fenders are the legendary round Super Bee graphics, which now include the
wording "Powered by SRT" to commemorate the modern incarnation of this
celebrated performance icon.
New 20 x 9-inch, five-spoke cast-aluminum wheels with black painted pockets
developed specifically for the Super Bee models provide a unique performance
look.
Available Goodyear F1 Supercar three-season, ultra high performance tires give
the Super Bee tenacious grip on the road or track. Also available are Goodyear
Eagle RS-A 2 all-season tires that make the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee an
all-season performance machine.
Braking power for the Super Bee comes courtesy of SRT engineered Brembo brakes
with vented and slotted rotors with four-piston Brembo calipers painted anodized
black.
A limited number of 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee units will be built for
the U.S. market. All Dodge Charger models are built at the Brampton Assembly
plant in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
Both Stinger Yellow and Pitch Black Super Bee models will be available for
ordering in December at Dodge dealerships nationwide and will be arriving in
U.S. dealer showrooms in the first quarter of 2012.
