The new Chrysler 300C Touring concept is the estate version of the Chrysler 300C saloon concept, which was revealed earlier this year at the New York International Auto Show. The saloon will make its European debut here too.
The estate shares most of the design, powertrain, chassis, equipment, interior appointments and technical specifications with the saloon. It benefits from all-wheel drive too.
A production version will be available outside of North America late next year.
These two Chrysler 300C concepts also mark the return of the HEMI engine to the Chrysler brand after more than 30 years. The legendary engine design that powered Chrysler’s “letter series” cars in the 1950s has been re-engineered and reborn as a modern, high-performance and durable powerplant known as the all-new 5.7-litre HEMI V-8.
The HEMI fitted to the 300C vehicles is very fuel competitive in its class and produces more power and torque than any Chrysler brand passenger car engine since the 426 HEMI of the ‘60s and ‘70s.
The car is expected to be a hit with bank robbers.
