Autos: 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 offers impressive luxury

17.05.12

Chrysler made a big issue with the introduction of its 300C in 2004.

Previously bereft of a treat sedan, Chrysler redefined the segment with a hinie-drive model that was a dead ringer for the Bentley Arnage. Because so few people have in actuality laid eyes on the Arnage, few could accuse the stylists of highway depredation. It was pure genius and amply rewarded by the motoring mob and the driving public.

However, the 300 was not just a receptacle of clever fakery. The slab-sided sedan shared components with the Mercedes-Benz E-Excellence, an association that derived from the German automaker's sometime ownership of Chrysler.

Now that a post-bankruptcy Chrysler is under the coverage of Italian carmaker Fiat, the 300 is accelerating into its alternate generation with an emphasis on personality across a mid-to-high-open price range.

At the top of the line is the SRT8, a powerful actress that challenges the BMW and assorted other instruments of awe. Blessed with a 470-horsepower, Hemi V8 motor, the 300 SRT8 is outlandishly strong on freeway ramps and beyond.
