Chrysler 300

 
 
  
 

Chrysler’s full-size sedan, the 300, started production back in 2005 after appearing as a concept at the 2003 New York Auto Show. Available in five different variants (LX, Touring, Limited, 300C, and SRT8), the Chrysler 300 can be a steady family car or a more powerful people pusher.

At the bottom of the engine lineup is the tamer 2.7L V6 engine with only 178hp and 190 lb-ft of torque, as well as the second V6 option with a larger 3.5L displacement that produces 250hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. Picking up the pace is the 5.7L V8 engine that’s provides 360hp and 389+ lb-ft of torque, but the bad boy of the group – belonging to the SRT8 – is the 6.1L V8 pushing out 425hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. All engines are mated to either a 4- or 5-speed automatic transmission.

Chrysler 300C SRT Diesel for the European market

Chrysler launched for the European market a diesel version for the 300C SRT. It will be powered by a three-litre V6 engine developing 218bhp and a peak torque of 376 lbs-ft. Is true is not the 425hp HEMI, but still is something just the Europeans will get!

It will get a revised rear end with new light clusters and a bootlid spoiler. There are a few tweaks inside, too, with a fresh instrument panel and extra LED lights for that sinister interior glow.

The 300C SRT also features touch control sat nav and a 20GB hard drive.



Charger and 300 facelift coming in 2011

The new fuel-economy regulations gave a lot of trouble to all auto-makers and made them give up to a lot of RWD models,but it seems that Chrysler will keep its RWD LX platform around for the next-generation Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger.

According to TheCarConnection, the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger will receive a major makeover for the 2011 model year, but the company has no money to switch to front-wheel drive, even if this could improve the fuel economy.

The revamp in the works for the early part of the next decade will be fairly substantial. Chrysler is said to have decided that a bold styling statement is critical to the lineup’s sales success–but certain features of the car, like its low roofline, will change to give the cars a more updated look.

Chrysler 300 for Xmas

Used, but very reasonably priced. $8,000 minimum bid on eBay. for one of the 1600 original C-300 Chryslers built in 1955. The car is described as complete, though with some minor rust-through in the rockers – though currently located in California, it was originally a Wisconsin car, according to the seller. But it is missing the tail light lenses – parts which were not unique to the 300, but shared with other ’55 Chryslers. Plus, the seller will throw in a (...)
