>"Dodge Magnum is bold, powerful and capable," said Darryl Jackson, Vice
>President, Dodge Marketing. "Dodge Magnum offers affordable performance to
>those who patrol and protect our communities."
>
>Electronic Stability Program (ESP), All-speed Traction Control, four-wheel
>anti-lock brakes with emergency brake assist and improved tire design are
>standard equipment on the Dodge Magnum SXT for special service uses (as
>they
>are on all Magnum SXT models). Combined, these features provide balance and
>control for officers in a variety of surface and weather conditions. These
>same advanced technologies also are standard on the 2006 Dodge Magnum
>police
>package models.
>
>"With rear-wheel drive and HEMI power at the pavement, the Dodge Magnum
>police unit will provide the optimum performance option," said Ray Fisher,
>Vice President - Fleet and Remarketing. "Dodge dominated the police car
>business throughout the 1960s, '70s and early '80s, and we're proud to
>continue our police car heritage with even more performance technology."
>
>In addition to the enhanced performance and handling available with the
>Dodge Magnum, the spacious interior will provide officers a balance of
>cargo
>room and flexibility.
>
>With 27.2 cubic feet behind the rear seat (71.6 cubic feet with rear seats
>folded flat), the Dodge Magnum offers maximum functionality for law
>enforcement needs. The rear cargo area features an upper flat-load floor
>that expands the usable cargo area when the rear seats are folded forward.
>Additional storage is provided for smaller items below this load floor and
>in deep pockets on either side of the floor.
>
>The Dodge Magnum's "extreme access" liftgate creates an unusually large
>cargo opening by allowing the gate to swing up rather than out from the
>vehicle. The 11.3 square foot opening swallows large items such as police
>emergency equipment, duffel bags, dog crates, traffic cones or barricades.
>
>The 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT model will be available this fall to law
>enforcement agencies for special service use. For 2006, Dodge will
>introduce
>a police package, which will be offered on the Dodge Magnum model.
>
>2006 Dodge Magnum Police Package
>
>The 2006 Dodge Magnum will be available with a police package in the fourth
>quarter of 2005.
>
>The standard 3.5-liter High Output V-6 engine featured on the 2006 Dodge
>Magnum police package vehicle delivers 250 horsepower and 250 lb-ft. of
>torque for great police performance.
>
>A five-speed fully electronic transmission with steering column shifter,
>18-inch V-rated tires and steel wheels, heavy-duty police brakes and
>linings
>and heavy-duty suspension will be included as standard equipment with the
>police package models.
>
>For the ultimate in pursuit power, the Dodge Magnum police package also
>will
>offer an optional 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with cylinder deactivation that
>produces 340 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. Chrysler Group's

>Displacement System (MDS) seamlessly alternates between smooth, high fuel
>economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed and V-8 mode when more
>power is in demand. Fuel efficiency is improved by up to 20 percent with
>cylinder deactivation, but not at the expense of performance.
