UPDATE: Added more info
UPDATE #2: Hi res pic below (click it) and more details from press release



Following yesterday's peak at the Chrysler 300C Pullman, we've learned of another concept (the third from the Chrysler Group by our count) that will be loaded onto a transport this weekend and shipped off to Las Vegas for the SEMA show. The SEMA Sebring improves upon the original front-wheel drive sedan by throwing out the filigree that overcomplicates the standard car's design. The most welcome deletion is the ribbed hood that was obviously meant as a visual nod to the Crossfire coupe, but comes across looking more like the top side of a wooden boat. In contrast, the SEMA Sebring's hood is glassy smooth save for a center rib and two large air vents that sweep back into the windshield. Underhood is reportedly a 4.0-liter V6, probably the same one found in the Pacifica that produces 253 hp and 262 ft-lbs. of torque. If that's the case, it's nice to know the 4.0-liter fits in the Sebring's bay. A mesh grille, new front bumper, side skirts and a rear diffuser round out the new exterior attributes.

Chrysler will have six SkunkWerks vehicles at the SEMA show this year. As we said before, we've already seen the Dodge Nitro Panel Wagon and Chrysler 300C Pullman, so three down and three more to go.

Just got more details from Ray at Jalopnik:

• Builders: DaimlerChrysler vehicle build shops
• 4.0L makes 285 horsepower and 295 lbs.-ft. of torque
