Chrysler 300C SRT8 | American muscle-car that drives like a European

What makes the SRT8 different from other Chryslers 300C? It is the first sedan from any car manufacturer that combines fine tuning and ultimate performance. This is exceptional compared to the super sedans in the market. It only has a price tag of $42,095. The model is awaited to come from the US auto industry but it is worth the wait.Although it is assembled in Canada, it has a Mexican engine, and it has a German transmission, everything about the 300c ST8 is no doubt American – The look, the feel and the configuration. The semi premium car is very affordable and you have to drive it to experience how special the model is.

Performance

If you want clues related to the performance of the 300c SRT8, the drivetrain and the chassis will offer some clues regarding its potential. The engine is fully enhanced to produce 425 hp and 420 lb ft of torque. The standard 5.7 liter Hemi V8 is updated to a 6.1 liter version. This is much sportier because of the size which is ideal for the high revolution. The five speed automatic transmission is modified as well which is the best partner for the engine. If you put the car in a full throttle then feel the explosive boom from its exhaust. When you go as much as 70 mph, you don’t hear the engine but you can hear the wind rushing and the hum of the tires.

Exterior

It is hard for a manufacturer to put a show on the road but the look of the 300c SRT8 made people notice it. This car has a bold styling which is elegant and less of a rugged looked compared to past models. The trademark of the Americans which is the baby Bentley grille is toned down. It has scraped on the beltline that gives the model a stronger look. The back area of the car is greatly executed. What makes you think its exterior is American?  The styling of this car is not over the top. This is true when you see some other models coming from American manufacturers.

Interior

The interior of the 300c SRT8 is not the traditional American car. It is filled with rectangle elements that are complemented with silver and faux chrome. The latest model was redone with upgraded materials. The synthetic suede made up the seats and the door panel. The surfaces are all soft but don’t look like it. The interior fail to complement its interior due to the fact that everything is generic. Too bad it doesn’t live up with the boldness of the interior. The power blue light is a good choice that can save the interior from the blackness of the bin. It is not bad at all but it is just boring.
