2005 Dodge Magnum news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
It has been more than 30 years since Dodge ruled the streets wîth HEMI® power and rear-wheel-drive performance. For 2004, Dodge unleashes power in an all-new proportion wîth the launch of its 2005 Dodge Magnum.
'Dodge Magnum is just one of the first new and exciting vehicles in our fast-paced launch plan,' said Dieter Zetsche, President and CEO of the Chrysler Group. 'All told, we'll bring twenty-five new vehicles to market in the next thirty-six months.
The legendary engine that powered Dodge's muscle cars of the 1960s has been re-engineered and reborn as a modern, high-performance, fuel-efficient and durable powerplant known as the all-new 5.7-liter HEMI V-8. With 340 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, the Dodge Magnum RT can go from zero to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds.
The HEMI-powered 2005 Dodge Magnum RT will be the first modern production vehicle in North America to feature cylinder deactivation when it goes on sale in the spring of 2004. The Chrysler Group Multi Displacement System (MDS) seamlessly turns off the fuel consumption in four cylinders of the 5.7-liter HEMI engine when V-8 power is not needed. This provides a world class combination of performance and fuel economy.
Dodge brings back rear-wheel drive to transfer all this power to the pavement through an all-new independent five-bar rear-drive layout. The Magnum powertrain and suspension systems work together for a precise balance of performance and handling, making optimum use of all four tire contact patches. For ultimate power distribution, an all-wheel drive version of the Dodge Magnum also will be available.
'High performance vehicles like the Dodge Magnum demand rear-wheel drive,' said Zetsche. 'Advances in stability systems and tire technology make this the right time to launch our rear-wheel drive, HEMI-powered Dodge Magnum.'
Dodge Magnum delivers on the benefits of a sport-utility vehicle, wîth available all-wheel drive and up to 3,800 pounds of towing capacity, along wîth the ride and handling of a sports sedan. (concept carz) Magnum's unique package features an 'extreme access' liftgate hinged forward off the d-pillar to open straight up instead of swinging out. The large 11.3 square foot opening can swallow a 27-inch TV. 'The only way a car company can win, is by building great products wîth innovative features,' said Zetche. ' Dodge Magnum is the latest evidence that we are working hard to do just that.'Source - DaimlerChrysler
