Detroit Show 2010 Highlights: 2011 Chrysler 300C S6 & S8


No, instead of outlandish titles, the special-edition 300s get familiar names—familiar to fans of high-powered Audis, that is. (We smell a lawsuit.) Starting in the spring, you’ll be able to purchase a 300 S6 with a 3.5-liter V-6 or a 300 S8 powered by a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8. The engines are all that separate Chrysler’s S6 and S8, as both get a unique exterior with a blacked-out grille, darkened headlight surrounds, minimal use of chrome, and doors shaved of their moldings. Twenty-inch wheels with black accents fill the wheel openings and are attached to a performance-tuned suspension. A performance-tuned steering rack and new brake pads are also included.

The S cars get the amply bolstered seats from the 300C SRT8 as well as an SRT8 steering wheel and shift knob with red stitching. Brushed-aluminum accents are scattered throughout the cabin and there’s a Kicker sound system with subwoofer, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and Sirius satellite radio. Remote start, heated power front seats, and adjustable pedals are also included. Stolen name aside, the Hemi-powered 300 S8 sounds pretty nice.
