2006 Dodge Magnum Front

Though Chrysler and Dodge will always share parts, Chrysler has plotted a different course for its sportier division, which is why the Magnum is wagon-only. Like the Chrysler 300, the Magnum comes with two V6s and two Hemi V8s, while most of the chassis is Mercedes' past work. New is the fourth engine, the 425-hosrepower 6.1-liter Hemi V8 in the rubber-burning SRT8. A more minor change is the mid-level V6's new availability with rear-drive instead of all-wheel-drive only as before. The top and bottom models are rear-drive only.
