2006 Chrysler 300C
SRT8: Momentum Continues, with a Dose of SRT Performance and
6.1-Liter HEMI Power - It wasn't long after the debut of the
HEMI®-powered Chrysler C300 in 1955 that it became known as the
"banker's hot rod." The key characteristics of that car-a powerful
HEMI V-8 engine, performance-tuned ride and handling and premium
amenities-are also key to the 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8. And, there's
quite a bit more.
Introduced in 2005, the Chrysler 300C SRT8 was the first Street and
Racing Technology (SRT) vehicle to be powered with the 6.1-liter
HEMI V-8, which offers 85 more horsepower — 25 percent more power —
than the 5.7-liter HEMI. But SRT performance is more than just
straight-line quickness.
"There's no other premium sedan that delivers the comfort,
convenience and performance numbers that the 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8
delivers," said Jeff Bell, Vice President-Chrysler Marketing,
Chrysler Group. "In terms of affordability, no one else even comes
close to delivering the Chrysler 300C SRT8's combination of
performance and value."
"The 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 is a complete package for the customer
who wants awesome performance in an award-winning sedan loaded with
comfort and style," said Dan Knott, Director – Street and Racing
Technology. "With its SRT-engineered 6.1-liter HEMI engine and
Brembo brakes, it's engineered for incredible acceleration and
stopping power."
For 2006, the Chrysler 300C SRT8 is available in a new Silver Steel
exterior color. Also new for 2006 are a standard tire pressure
monitoring system, an available Kicker® high-performance audio
system and available rear-seat video system. |
| The Chrysler 300C SRT8 exemplifies
the SRT formula of all-around performance at a very attractive
price, with expressive yet functional design, stunning performance
and near-luxury refinement. The Chrysler 300C SRT8 offers key SRT
attributes in functional, performance-oriented styling; world-class
ride and handling across a dynamic range; race-inspired interior
appointments; benchmark braking; and an SRT-engineered,
425-horsepower, 6.1-liter SRT HEMI engine. |
