As one might expect, the useful load is down a bit - 300lb or so according to the figures quoted (which are bound to change). I guess that might explain the Magnum being fitted out as a 4 rather than 5 seater. Should be a spaceous 4 seater, though. Roll on a viable 300+HP diesel - presumably not from Thielert now.
