Decades after making its original debut, the Chrysler 300C is now taking its last lap. Here’s what you need to know about this iconic model and its top horsepower-fueled history.
Evolution of the Chrysler 300
The current generation of the Chrysler 300 hit the market in 2005, but that was not drivers’ initial introduction. In fact, the very first Chrysler 300 was introduced in 1955, when it took the track by storm as one of the day’s fastest cars. It boasted 300 horsepower, galloping from zero to 60 in 9.8 seconds – a major feat for the ‘50s!
The first generation came to a close in 1965, followed by the “non-letter series” that included four distinct body styles. An ever beefier 7.2-liter V8 engine was introduced in 1967, boosting horsepower to 350.
Today’s Chrysler 300 hardly retains any of its predecessor’s design elements, now wider and taller with a more aggressive stance. It is luxuriously appointed with upscale materials and all the latest tech and safety features, like adaptive cruise control, back-up camera, lane departure warning, and more.
