Auburn Hills, Mich. - Dodge continues its sustained assault on the car market with the introduction of the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger, Charger SRT8, Magnum, Magnum SRT8 and Viper SRT10 Coupe. Dodge announced pricing today for the Dodge Magnum SRT8.
Adding a new level of utility to the Street and Racing Technology (SRT) formula of benchmark performance at an astounding value, the 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 is available for $37,995, which includes $675 for destination. Dodge Magnum SRT8 arrives in Dodge showrooms this summer.
" Dodge Magnum is the new shape of American muscle," said Darryl Jackson, Vice President - Dodge Marketing, Chrysler Group. “Since introducing the Dodge Magnum, we’ve increased our market share in the car market. The momentum continues with the introduction of the Dodge Magnum SRT8.
" With a serious dose of SRT performance added to the mix, the 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 is capable of zero to 60 mph in the low-5-second range,” continued Jackson. “And with nearly 72 cubic feet of cargo space, the 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 provides incredible utility at a tremendous value.”
The all-new 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 is powered by an SRT-engineered 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine producing 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque, and equipped with a host of performance upgrades and premium amenities.
HEMI Power
The heart of the 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 is its SRT-engineered 6.1-liter HEMI engine, which generates 85 more horsepower than the 5.7-liter version with more cubic inches, higher compression ratio, faster engine speed and better engine breathing through special cylinder heads and manifolds. The 6.1-liter HEMI engine was strengthened with components including a reinforced engine block, forged steel crankshaft and high-strength connecting rods.
The result is an engine capable of 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque - the highest specific-output V-8 engine ever offered by the Chrysler Group - with a horsepower-per-liter rating that exceeds even that of the legendary 1966 Street HEMI.
2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 Features
The all-new 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 is equipped with a full complement of SRT-tuned performance upgrades, including larger diameter anti-sway bars, specially tailored spring rates, Bilstein dampers, Brembo four-piston disc brakes at the front and rear, and 20-inch forged aluminum wheels shod with Goodyear F1 three-season tires.
2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 standard features include power-adjustable, deeply sculpted and aggressively bolstered front seats trimmed with performance suede inserts that secure occupants during spirited driving. Other features include “carbon fiber” leather trim on the steering wheel, and special carbon fiber finishing on the center stack.

Premium amenities include a standard AM/FM stereo radio with six-disc CD changer and steering wheel-mounted controls, and a power-adjustable pedal cluster.
