Some drivers choose four-door sedans for luxury; others choose a sedan for convenience and daily use. But, there is yet another category of driver who wants a sedan that focuses on superior performance while being suitable for frequent use. This driver needs style, an impressive driving experience, and a powerful engine. Discover below why the Chrysler 300 is the ideal car for drivers who like performance driving.
When you consider the merits of any car’s performance, one of the first things you invariably look at is how much power the car produces. Both available engine choices for the 2017 Chrysler 300 produce phenomenal power. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 that outputs 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The Chrysler 300 completes the basic marker of performance, the zero-to-60 mph test, in just 6.8 seconds, which is amazing considering the car weighs 4,000 pounds.
But stepping up to the next available engine choice is where performance drivers get the most power from the Chrysler 300. The optional 5.7-liter V8 engine hits amazing power ratings of 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque. The improved acceleration means you’ll now speed up from zero to mph in about 5.7 seconds, which makes this V8 the ultimate performance machine.
Stopping distance is also important in gauging performance, and in the Chrysler 300, you’ll slow down from 60 mph to a stop within a superb 122 feet.
Any performance car worth its salt needs to look the part. Chrysler builds the 300 to look bold, slick, and fast. It has a distinguished lean profile, with sharp edges and a squared-off rear that conveys power. Available appearance upgrade packages further reinforce the sense that the Chrysler 300 is no ordinary sedan. You can add a Sport Appearance package to the 300S that brings a black chrome grille surround and a body-color rear spoiler for a sporty, assertive exterior.
Large wheels match the boldness of the body design. The smallest wheels are 18 inches, the next choice is 19 inches, while the largest wheels are 20 inches. LED foglamps and sport side sills also improve the presence of the Chrysler 300. The available 300C model adds stunning platinum chrome finishes throughout the exterior.
Working in unison with the two available engines is an eight-speed automatic transmission that offers incredibly smooth and seamless shifting between gears. Rear-wheel drive is the standard driving system that works with the powertrain, but an upgrade to a more agile all-wheel-drive system improves performance to the next level.
By providing power to all four wheels of the Chrysler 300, the all-wheel-drive system improves performance regardless of the road conditions, making it easier to accelerate on wet surfaces. General handling is also better, which is what you need as a performance driver who wants to get the most out of your car.
The 2017 Chrysler 300 has everything you want from a performance sedan. Take one out for a test drive to experience the high-octane driving experience for yourself.
