End of production Chrysler 300C | Car news

A few days ago, the last Chrysler 300C, painted Velvet Red, rolled off the production line at the Brampton, Ontario plant. This time marks the end of the Chrysler 300 era, a series that started in 1955 and was revived in 2005.

A legacy of luxury and performance
The Chrysler 300 has always embodied American luxury with bold design. The 300C model, in particular, has been the cornerstone of this range, bringing significant innovation over the years. Its 1957 version, with its 392 cubic inch, 375 horsepower HEMI engine, marked a turning point in performance automotive history.

Model 2023
This latest version of the Chrysler 300C pays homage to its predecessors with a 6.4-liter HEMI engine that produces 485 horsepower. On the other hand, there’s a good dose of modern technology. This model is capable of an impressive acceleration, from zero to 97 km/h in just 4.3 seconds.

In addition to its impressive performance, the 2023 300C excels with high-performance features such as Brembo brakes and active damping suspension. The exterior has been spruced up with the addition of tricolor 300C badges and black chrome accents, while the interior receives Laguna black leather.

Limited production
Production of this special edition was limited, with only 2,000 units available in the US and 200 in Canada. Reservations were filled within 12 hours of the car being announced.

The end of an era for Chrysler as it prepares for an electric future
The end of Chrysler 300C production not only marks the end of Chrysler’s historic chapter but also a transition to a more sustainable future. We know that Stellantis is now moving into the production of electric cars, and Chrysler aims to launch its first electric model in 2025.
