Benchmark performance, premium amenities and race-inspired styling - all at
an attractive price - make the 2010 Chrysler 300C SRT8 unique in the
marketplace. Powered by the Street and Racing Technology-engineered
425-horsepower 6.1-liter HEMI V-8, the 300C SRT8 boasts performance-tuned
world-class ride and handling, benchmark braking performance and premium
interior appointments.
SRT performance figures include: 0-60 mph in the
low five-second range, 0-100-0 mph in less than 17 seconds and 0.89g on the skid
pad. The Chrysler 300C SRT8 is an iconic, award-winning sedan loaded with
comfort and style. Interior appointments include the SRT-exclusive Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) with Performance Pages.
Chassis setup for the Chrysler 300C SRT8 is aimed at
all-around performance, including SRT-tuned dampers, specially tailored spring
rates and suspension bushings and large-diameter anti-sway bars. Front- and
rear-suspension knuckles contribute to a ride height that's lowered .5 inch from
the Chrysler 300C. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) has been SRT-tuned,
resulting in the system sensing lateral acceleration that effectively primes the
system in anticipation of the next brake application.
Benchmark braking
performance results from a four-wheel disc-brake system featuring performance
calipers developed by Brembo, each equipped with four pistons for even clamping.
The Chrysler 300C SRT8 has 360 mm x 32 mm vented rotors up front and 350 mm x 28
mm vented rotors in the rear. The result is 60-0 mph braking performance of
approximately 110 feet. The SRT-exclusive braking system includes
brake-knockback mitigation software for even better track response.
Exterior styling combines sophisticated, premium elegance with functional
performance enhancements. Front and rear fascias include unmistakable SRT cues
such as air ducting for brake cooling, as well as the specially designed rear
deck-lid spoiler, which increases rear downforce without increasing drag. Other
touches include body-color front and rear bumper inserts, body-color mirrors and
door handles and unique SRT badging.
