The 2008 Dodge magnum includes advanced technologies,
flexible and functional cargo space and integrated safety and
security features combine to provide a powerful, capable family
vehicle with the ride and handling of a sports car.
A package
unlike any other in the marketplace, the 2008 Dodge
Magnum R/T is an evolution of the bold, powerful and
street-smart philosophy of Dodge. The 2008 Dodge Magnum
R/T is equipped with a modern 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine featuring
MDS. MDS seamlessly alternates between four-cylinder mode when less
power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is demanded, increasing
fuel economy as much as 20 percent without sacrificing vehicle
performance. Drivers may be informed when four-cylinder mode is
active by selecting the new fuel-economy display available through
the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). The
5-7-liter HEMI V-8 engine provides 340 horsepower @ 5000 rpm and 390
lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm and offers an EPA fuel economy rating
of 17/25 (city/hwy).
