Dodge Magnum
Calling it "the new shape of American muscle," DaimlerChrysler CEO Dieter
Zetsche introduced the Dodge Magnum, a roomy, 430-horsepower sport wagon.
Coming to dealerships in early 2004, the Magnum is significant as the first
example of Dodge's new rear-wheel-drive LX platform, which will also
underpin new versions of models such as the Chrysler 300M. While the
upcoming Chrysler Crossfire shares its engine and several components with
the Mercedes SLK, Zetsche said the Magnum is the first application of
Mercedes technology in a high-volume Chrysler model. A supercharged
5.7-liter engine using Chrysler's legendary "HEMI" cylinder head powers the
Magnum, also found on the 345-horsepower engine in Ram pickups.
