About the Dodge Magnum SRT8 LX
The Dodge Magnum SRT8 is a rare 'muscle wagon' that combined the utility of the LX-platform estate with the high-performance engineering of the Street & Racing Technology division. At its heart lies a 6.1-litre Hemi V8, a bored-out version of the 5.7-litre unit featuring a forged crankshaft, high-flow cylinder heads, and sodium-filled valves. It was distinguished by a unique front fascia, 20-inch forged wheels, and Brembo brakes, offering performance that could rival contemporary sports cars. With fewer than 4,000 units produced over three years, it has become a cult classic for enthusiasts who value its unique blend of aggressive Mopar styling and genuine cargo capacity.
