Chrysler debuts S-Concept 300 models at Spring Festival of LXs

Chrysler has a hardcore group of owners who have taken their Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Challenger models to the next level of aftermarket bliss. For those Mopar super fans, Chrysler throws a little party called the Spring Festival of LXs. The event draws owners from all over eager to show off their customized rides, and this year, Team Pentastar had a little something special for those in attendance.

Chrysler unveiled the 300 S-Concept models, modded versions of its already hot-looking 2011 Chrysler 300. In the case of the featured video car, the big rear-drive Chrysler receives updates ranging from bigger, more audacious wheels, body-color moldings and an a new grille that looks like the outline of a brick wall. The interior has also received some custom touches, including a sea of red leather just about everywhere one's body touches, along with an italic 'S' on each throne.





Looks alot better, I think!

Not a fan of daytime running lights (LEDs) but the rest looks pretty good.

[TheInterceptor]

Oh yeah thats great, actually looks like a 300c to me. Im liking the agressive stance.

[aussie muscle]

at least the DRL are integrated into the design, not stuck on like an afterthought.

[chrisfpv]

I've never understood the fascination with these cars, they look like massive boats, nothing awesome or "gangsta" about them IMO.

[kinksta]

It looks good to me, nice shape! I liked the previous shape, but I loved the SRT version alot more.

I would have one of these over the current VE shape IMO.

[vztrt]

That looks much better then the previous model. The old one was butt ugly, but probably made more of a statement on the road then this one would.

[Mr Hardware]

looks a bit Audi

not that that's a bad thing

[Fordman]

Looks as bad as the original. Im not a fan of the 300C, i like the engine though.

This.

Looks like they flogged the headlights straight from them.

[Chopped]

The first car looked tough, it had a mafia/gangsta/hitman look too it. It almost had the "chopped rod" (lowered roof) look.

The new one looks a little soft, but I would have to see one in the metal.

EVERY new car will have DTL - better get used to them.

[Ben73]

Front looks good. Back is nothing special.

I prefer the previous one, as Long as it has a bently styled grill.
To be honest I want to buy one. V8 Obviously, Its v8 or nothing with the 300c.

[RED FGII]

they were ugly and still are ugly............

[Lukeyson]

YES

did i think the last one was too? YES

Does my opinion count? NO

[MethodX]

As long as it sells well, along with the 200.
Good for Chrysler and Fiat.

Hype hype hype. It's a powerful thing. It can make people say something looks good when in fact it's ugly.

Don't get me started on people that use stretch Hummers for their Wedding cars.

[Road_Warrior]

I felt the old one looked crap, the new one looks ok but those riced up ones there I don't like at all.

A different colour would help.

So I'm not the only one. Good.

Why do these Yank cars always look like they've been driven (and reversed) into a wall? You can just hear the designers saying, "Right, get rid of those European curves, flatten the front and back, add as much blingy chrome to the grille as you think you can get away with..."

[GT]

We love them and will have the new one some time in 2012. Only car we didn't lose resell $ on - that alone is enough to own another.

SO you think American cars should looks like European Cars?

I like many European cars, But I like many American cars as well. American cars are very different to Euro ones and that what sets them apart and why I like them.

It would be a boring world if every cars looked European.


There are plenty of European cars that are damn ugly as well.

[barra265t]

Do they still run a Mercedes-based chassis in the new 300C? If so, that alone would put it ahead of any Ford or GM K-mart quality platform.

[RAPID_BA]

Looks good to me

All those wedding car people now gotta upgrade.

Look for a few cheap second hand ones coming

Id buy one.

[Ben73]

I wanna get a black V8 one by the end of this year. Wait for all the people to sell their current model ones to get the new one.

If you look up exhaust videos on Youtube, some people have some amazing sounding ones.

Due to insurance, Ill probbaly only be able to afford the 5.7L hemi

Maybe the market its intended for prefer the looks?

Remember the Taurus that inspired the AU?

[mik]

its ok , i liked the old front better, not a fan of the running lights either, it cheapens them imo.

It could do. That doesn't make it any good though. Remember it was worse than a Monaro... and a Jag S-type R.

The 300 was never a Mercedes based chassis, it was a heavily revised
Chrysler chassis that used Mercedes front and rear suspension modules...
The Quality of Chrysler or more correctly, lack of it is what sets it apart
from Ford and GM, I consider Taurus and Cadillac CTS as a notch better.

Not a good look for your police fleet sales

“This was the newest vehicle we had, with less than 6,000 miles,” said Curry County Sheriff John Bishop. “Wished it could have been one that is over 100,000 miles.”

He estimated the car, along with the radar, cameras, radios and other equipment inside it, was worth at least $36,000.

“As near as we can tell, it started in the passenger wheel well,” Bishop said.

“We are really looking at the brake line in that area which is next to the tail pipe and other hot items,” he said. “When the flames were put down it would start up again, so we are thinking some type of flammable fluid.”

And Taurus is a bloated pig.

I don't think I could seriously consider a Chrysler product unless under the influence of a drug or judgement affecting chemical.
