Dodge Magnum is the name of two cars of the US car manufacturer Dodge .In 2004, Dodge began producing a new model, which was again named Magnum . In contrast to the namesake from the 1970s, the current Magnum is a station wagon .
Since its creation in 2005, the Magnum has attracted all kinds of comments. The "smoke show", but others may treat it as an enemy of Greenpeace with its large engines.
One thing is certain; this car has a very strong personality and robustness. The secret of the success of the Magnum is based on this hot-rod key power from the past. The tinted windows, the wheels of 17-, 18- or 20-inches command respect. In addition, the dials on a white background contrast with black coverings. very 1970s, The only downside: the quality of the plastic, rather unpleasant to the touch, could be improved and makes It looks a bit low-end.
In Europe, the Dodge Magnum was marketed by DaimlerChrysler as Chrysler 300C touring . It is offered in the following displacement variants:
- SE : 2.7 Liters with 140 kW / 190 hp
- SXT : 3.5 Liters with 253 hp
- R / T : 5.7 Liter HEMI with 250 kW / 340 hp
- SRT8 : 6.1 litres HEMI with 313 kW / 425 hp
There are the versions SXT and R / T since 2005 also with all-wheel drive (and optionally with four-speed or five-speed gearbox). For the model year 2008, the Magnum received a facelift. The gearbox and many engine parts come from the Mercedes-Benz W210 , from which the vehicle platform was also taken over.
INTERIOR From the outside, its roof line lack of clearance. but it is only an optical illusion, In fact its High. With superior soundproofing and a longer wheelbase than that of a European Mercedes S-Class and a BMW 7 Series. And space loading is huge.
The options range from the navigation automatic climate control including leather upholstery. A good audio system with a six-CD magazine and enough power.
Standard Track Pack (SRT8),
Rear Entertainment with Optional DVD,
transmission oil change reminder
automatic, electrically adjustable pedals (R/T),
Available 18-inch and 20-inch chrome wheels
MECHANICS Here we are at the heart of what is the appeal of this vehicle.
For the SE version with V6 engine from 190 horsepower is indicated, but the SXT version, with the 3.5-liter V6 and 250 horsepower, is the best compromise between power, driving pleasure and an Acceptable consumption. The V6s are equipped with an automatic gearbox 
Next the big guns with the HEMI engines. The R/T version offers 340 horsepower, a 100 km/h start stopped in less than 6.5 seconds, and a mechanical symphony that makes you shiver of pleasure every acceleration. Fitted with system for disabling cylinders in the HEMI V8 of 5.7 litres, which allows the Magnum to run on four Cylinders cruising speed on the road, authorizing a better Fuel economy of approximately 10%. Chassis and suspension are well calibrated.
However, a full-on propulsion drive becomes a real problem in winter, all the more so as the stability control is worth nothing in the snow. But there is plus, if you can afford it: the Magnum SRT8 with its HEMI and its 425 horsepower and five gears with HEMI motors.. With power delivered in A loud debauchery makes the hairs stand on end of the arms. A real beast that accelerates as fast aa the Porsche 911 or a Corvette, but unlike these you still have room for all your grocery in the back!
In the US, the Magnum is no longer offered, since the sales figures were below the expectations last.

Technically, there was only one innovation: an adaptive suspension ADS, which allows the driver to change the damper tuning between sporty and automatic with a push of a button.
By the summer of 2014, the Challenger was subjected to a larger facelift. The new model was in April 2014, on the Show New York Auto presented to the public and is produced since the summer of the same year.Compared to the previous Challenger, which took stylistic borrowings in the 1970s model, the 1971 model was chosen as a retro model for the facelift. Both the bodywork and the interior have been redesigned.
While the base engine for the equipment variant SXT continues to be the 227 kW (309 hp) Pentastar V6 engine with a displacement of 3.6 liters, revised V8 engines were introduced.

The first Dodge Challenger was introduced in the model year 1970 and belonged to the named after the first Ford Mustang vehicle family of pony cars (long hood, short deck) compact sports coupe or convertible.
The Challenger was largely identical to the third generation Plymouth Barracuda ; The bodywork was slightly modified and the wheelbase extended by 5 cm. The design came from Carl Cameron, who had already designed the Dodge Charger from 1966. Although the Challenger with 83,032 units sold in the first year of production was a good reception in the market, but it appeared at a time when the decline of the Pony Cars was already emerging. After only five years, the Challenger was discontinued with the end of the model year 1974 without replacement. A total of 188,611 first-generation vehicles were sold.
The Challenger was available as Hardtop Coupé without B-pillar and in 1970/71 as Cabriolet. The top model of the series was the Challenger R / T, which was available only in 1970 as a convertible. The base model as well as the R / T coupe could be ordered in an SE version with leather seats, vinyl roofand a smaller rear window. From 1972, the R / T variant was dropped, instead, a rally called version came into the program. At the same time, the most powerful engines and many performance extras were no longer available. Only in 1970 was the Challenger T / A available, a homologation model for the Trans-Am series equipped with a special 5.6 l V8 (340 cui ), three double carburetors and a fiberglass engine hood with a large air scoop . The tubes of the sport exhaust flowed laterally in front of the rear wheels ( sidepipes ). Also standard were anti-roll bars front and rear, different width tires on the front and rear (Polyglas GT, rear G60-15, in some exceptions 275-55x15 or 285-60x15, front E60-15) and rear spoiler. Optionally, a front spoiler and a rear jalousie (J68 - Window Louvers) could be ordered. In model year 1972 accounted for all high-performance engines; strongest engine was since then an eight-cylinder, which was then discontinued in early 1974 then.
The body remained unchanged over the entire life of the Challenger, twice the grille was modified. The models 1970/71 had a retired barbecue, which received a central pier in 1971. From 1972, the grill was at a height with the headlights. The models of the years 1972 to 1974 can be distinguished by the increasing from year to year bumper horns. The tail lights ranged in the model year 1970 over the entire width of the car. In 1971, the reversing lights were arranged on the left and right side of the license plate. As of 1972, the Challenger had four individual taillight lenses.

By 1976 was the last year for the Coronet; In 1977, the models in Monaco - until then the larger Dodge model - renamed and got rectangular headlights and other minor changes, which became an instant sales success. The two-door coupe was sold in 1976 under the name Dodge Charger Coupe . It joined with this designation alongside the Dodge Charger S / E, which was a derivative of the Chrysler Cordoba . Only sedan and wagon bodies were offered. Wagons had a standard 360 cu. in. V-8, while the sedan was powered by a 225-cu. in. Slant Six or optional 318 V-8. Single round headlamps sat in square housings. Curved-side amber parking lamps were mounted in the bumper, below the headlamps. Wide horizontal taillamps were set into the back bumper, with backup lenses in the centre of each unit and a recessed license plate housing in the middle.
A 'Dodge' nameplate was on the decklid and grille; 'Coronet' script on front fenders. Coronets had a hood ornament in this, their final year. Minor instrument changes included speedometer calibration in miles and kilometres’ Royal Monaco still had the larger Monaco body. Another successor of the Coronet was the diplomat.
