GT5 Transcripts/Chrysler 300C '05

Winner of the prestigious North American Car of the Year award in 2005, the Chrysler 300 was one of those very rare cars that carried over all of its interesting looks and details from the concept show car directly to the production model.
Produced on the same LX platform as the Dodge Magnum, Challenger, and Charger models, the 300 initially came in four trim levels: the base 300, 300 Touring, 300 Limited, and 300C. The base car was powered by a 187 HP 2.7-liter DOHC V6, while the Touring and Limited models possessed a larger 247 HP 3.5-liter DOHC V6. The performance-oriented 300C sported a potent 5.7-liter OHV Hemi V8, which was not only powerful, it was also economical, thanks to its fuel-saving and emission-reducing cylinder deactivation technology. In low-load operations such as steady-state cruise, the engine would operate on only 4 cylinders instead of the full complement of 8. Then, slightly after the 300's introduction came the ultimate 300, the 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered SRT8.
A respectably-sized vehicle at 196.8 inches long and 74.0 inches wide, the 300's front fascia and overall design somewhat resembled that of the high-dollar Bentley Arnage from England. The car was also known for its robust build quality as many of its major components were shared with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of the day, the benefactor of the Daimler-Chrysler merger.
