Chrysler will revive the SRT formula for a special 2023 300C model equipped with the snarling 6.4-liter Hemi V8. While the badge itself won't return, the 2023 300C will offer everything the old 300 SRT had and more, including a limited-slip differential, big brakes, a sport exhaust and active dampers. Chrysler 300 Scat Pack, here we come — but you'd better act fast, as only 2,000 of them will be produced for the U.S. market (plus another 200 for Canada). And after 2023, the whole Chrysler 300 lineup will be gone for good.

Transcript

JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: This is the 2023 Chrysler 300C. Notice it's not an SRT8, even though that's kind of what it is. The badge here, 300C for 2023, signifies that this has a 6.4-liter Hemi with 485 horsepower. That means it can do 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.4.

Stepping around to the side, you'll see inside these wheels are upgraded large brakes. Behind the wheels that you can't see are active dampers. So it's got upgraded suspension.

It also has a active exhaust system, so you can make it quiet. You can make it loud. You can terrorize your neighborhood as much as you want while doing burnouts because you got plenty of horsepower for it. The inside's not that much different.

You can see a black leather interior with contrast silver stitching. Not that much changed, which makes sense because this 2023 300 will be the last of its kind. There will be no large V8 powered rear wheel drive sedan from Chrysler after this year. But if you want one, you'd better act fast. They're only making 2,000.
