Other touches include body-color front and rear bumper inserts,
body-color mirrors and door handles, and unique SRT badging. The Chrysler 300C
SRT8’s 425-horsepower, normally aspirated, 6.1-liter HEMI® produces
420 lb.-ft. of torque. The HEMI power is channeled through a
five-speed automatic transmission with specially calibrated,
driver-selectable Auto Stick, which offers fully automatic or manual
shifting selection. 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. Up front, the Chrysler 300C SRT8 has 360 mm x 32 mm vented rotors, 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. The system senses lateral acceleration and effectively primes the system in anticipation for the next brake application. “The 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8 was engineered to deliver customers outstanding performance to match the elegant design,” said Kipp Owen, Director, Street and Racing Technology Engineering – Chrysler LLC. “With specific SRT-tuned ride and handling, ESP and ABS, and powered by the 6.1-liter HEMI® V-8 engine, customers will arrive in style after enjoying the ride.” |
