2023 Chrysler 300C Returns Packing SRT Punch
What’s old is new again as the 2023 Chrysler 300C returns.
With the 300 model’s discontinuation after the 2023 model year, Chrysler is sending it out with a bang. Two thousand lucky customers will be able to order 2023 Chrysler 300C, celebrating 70 years of the brand’s letter cars.
A Familiar Friend Returns
Although it adorns the Chrysler 300C nameplate, returning under hood is the former 300 SRT model’s 6.4L HEMI V8 engine. It produces the same 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque as found in previous high performance 300s.

Other performance upgrades to the 300C include red-painted four-piston Brembo brakes, a 3.09 ratio rear limited slip differential, active damping suspension, and an active exhaust system with black rounded exhaust tips.
Slight Changes Inside and Out
On the grille and trunk are reimagined tri-color 300C badges which help differentiate this limited edition model.
Inside, the front seats feature an embossed 300C logo and silver stitching accents. There are also carbon-fiber accents and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
