2008 Charger SRT8
in TorRed and 2008 Magnum SRT8 in Steel Blue Metallic
Magnum and Charger are truly two of a kind, with their unique blend of power and precision. R/T models sport the awesome 5.7-liter HEMI

V8 engine with a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) for
added fuel economy* and a 5-speed AutoStick

transmission for all the raw power you can handle. Besides offering best-in-class
340 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, Charger and Magnum R/T
both give you a smooth ride that grips the road with cutting-edge technology — a standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
— with all-speed traction control and a performance four-wheel antilock
brake system (ABS) and Brake Assist. Charger SRT8 and Magnum SRT8 offer the same reliability while upping the ante with unbelievable power. For 2008, Magnum receives a healthy infusion of
Charger's aggressive Dodge DNA, with a lower, horizontally stretched crosshair grille, newly creased hood, and angled dual headlamps for a more menacing front end. Factor in these aggressive style
points along with the take-no-prisoners power and sport-car handling, and Charger and Magnum are truly worth their weight in bold.

V8. Charger SRT8 and Magnum SRT8 are powered by an engine
that represents a new benchmark in HEMI performance. Developed by the Dodge SRT (Street and Racing Technology) engineers, it produces a whopping 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque to take

*15/23 city/highway mpg with MDS. Results depend on driving habits and conditions.
Based on 2007 Ward's Automotive segmentation.
No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions.
Performance is limited by available traction which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer fl ashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions.
Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
