What's been Refreshed: Chrysler


According to MSN Chrysler is hard at work reinventing itself post-bankruptcy. We've already seen the fruit of that labor in the vastly improved quality of last year's all-new 200 and 300 models. For 2012, the 300 line is getting its tire-melting SRT8 variant. Other than that, however, Chrysler doesn't have much going on. Unfortunately, it appears that it may be another couple of years before the company's much-hyped Pentastar engine is fully breathing easy atop a bed of solid, high-quality products. 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 The latest 300 full-size sedan launched last year, and it was a vast improvement over the outgoing model. This year, we'll see the 300 in SRT8 trim, complete with snarling V8 engine and improved performance all around. With a stout 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, the 300 SRT8 will smoke its way to 60 mph in less than five seconds, on to a top speed of 175 mph. An all-new adaptive suspension will help the large sedan cope with its newfound power, while the obvious list of look-fast bits will signal the SRT8's intentions.
