In 2003, at the New York Auto Show, the American company Chrysler presented to the public a new model of a full-size sedan, which became known as the 300C. True, then it was only a concept. But the model was appreciated by everyone without exception, and therefore it was released into the series.
Appearance
Before talking about the Chrysler limousine, it is worth noting the sedan. Since it was this model that came out first. Its length is 5024 mm, width is 1882 mm. The height of the model reaches 1483 mm. The wheelbase, which is equal to 3048 mm, deserves special attention.
This car is recognizable by its expressive, charismatic design. The Chrysler 300C limousine is especially eye-catching. The photo is provided below, and it shows that this car is really spectacular. The design is impeccable: flowing lines of the body are organically combined with the sporty outline of the headlights, chrome-plated parts and alloy wheels. And of course, it gives a special zest to the looka heavy-duty grille with a sophisticated signature badge to complete the look.
Characteristics of units
Technical characteristics even for the first models were impressive. The "weakest" option was a sedan with a 2.7-liter V6. The maximum speed of such models reached 209 km / h, and they accelerated to “hundreds” in 11.1 s. There were options for both "automatic" and "mechanics". Consumption was 8.2 liters of fuel on the highway and about 15.2 in the city.
The next option, which both the sedan and the Chrysler limousine could boast of, was a 3-liter 218-horsepower engine that accelerated the car to a maximum of 230 km / h. And the speedometer needle reached the mark of 100 km / h 7.6 seconds after the start. Consumption was not bad - 6.6 liters on the highway. And in the city - 10.8 liters. But these models began to be produced in 2006.
Even today you can find a Chrysler limousine with a 3.5-liter 253-horsepower engine under the hood. Up to 100 km / h, such a car accelerates in 9.2 seconds, but its maximum is 219 km / h. Consumption is the same as for models with a 2.7L engine.
Also in the lineup you can find a Chrysler sedan and limousine with 5.7-liter 340-horsepower engines, thanks to which cars can accelerate to 250 km/h. And to "hundreds" - in just 6.3 seconds. It is important to know that there are two options for such motors. One has been installed on models since 2004, and the second since 2005. The second one is more economical, as it consumes not 19.5 liters of fuel per 100 "urban" kilometers, but 13.9 liters.
But the most powerful engine is the 6.1-liter 425 hp. Speed at 100 km/h thisthe car can dial in just 5 seconds. The maximum, however, is 250 km / h (there is a limiter). And it consumes a power unit of about 16.8 liters. By the way, absolutely all engines were offered with both "automatic" and "mechanics".
Long version
Now it's worth talking in more detail about the Chrysler 300C limousine. Its technical characteristics are the same as those of the previously mentioned sedan. But the appearance is different.
This model, like most other modern limousines, belongs to the Stretch type. It is not manufactured in a factory way, but by specialized companies. Specialists take a finished car and lengthen it with the help of technology. This is usually done by inserting an additional section into the body. It is placed between the rear and front doors - this can even be seen in the photo provided above. And then, after such a procedure, specialists modify the salon.
Features
Thanks to the preservation of technical characteristics, the extended version of this model remains as powerful and agile as the sedan. And this is confirmed by the reviews left about the Chrysler 300C limousine. People who rented this car note its dynamics, road stability, good handling and, of course, a high level of comfort.
And the equipment of these limousines is really impressive. The level of their luxury may vary depending on what requirements the customer of the company made,which, based on the 300C, made an extended version for it. The length of some machines reaches 11 meters. Such models can accommodate up to 14 people! And inside, everything is equipped for their comfort, down to the smallest detail: there is a disco ceiling and the same floor, a laser installation, two wide-screen plasma TVs, a bar with glasses for drinks, an audio system, leather sofas and much more.
Custom variant
Finally, it is worth saying a few words about the Chrysler 300C, which exists in the form of … a hearse. This is the name of the vehicle in which the coffin with the body, as well as relatives and friends of the deceased is transported to the cemetery and other places of mourning.
Many funeral homes offer to rent a VIP hearse built on the basis of the Chrysler 300C. It is equipped with air conditioning and refrigeration. It is believed that by ordering this elite hearse, the relatives of the deceased emphasize how significant it was for them.
Why 300C? Because it has a convenient design, and it is easy to convert it into a hearse (given that station wagon versions were also produced). This Chrysler model is quite compact, practical and maneuverable, so it will easily pass through tight spaces.
As you can see, the 300C is truly a unique car in every sense of the word. By the way, it is quite possible to buy it. The average cost of a car in good condition can vary from 400 to 700 thousand rubles.
