2017 Chrysler 300S Sport Appearance
Package
Chrysler decided to give its 300S sedan
another dose of energetic styling through the new Exterior and Interior Sport
Appearance Packages.
The kit was conceived to further
emphasize the vehicle’s main character traits, offering a more prominent “commanding presence” according to Chrysler. With a subtly, yet aggressively tweaked front fascia, the package comes
standard with the 300S V8 model and can be commissioned on the V6-powered
variant as well.
Below the Gloss-Black headlamps and
dimensional grille you can find what Chrysler likes to describe as “a larger
body-color painted Mobius strip”, which, of course, gives the car a new road
presence; a trait also underlined by the new Ceramic Gray exterior paint, and
the 20-inch (19-inch with AWD) rims.
Step into the cabin and you’re greeted
by the model’s sport-contoured seats with new premium perforated leather and
more lateral support for, ahem, spirited driving. The cockpit is bedizened with
Piano Black interior trim appointments on the instrument panel, door panel and
instrument cluster bezels, and Light Gray Diesel colored accent stitching.
Speaking of spirited driving, the models
come with a “Sport Mode”, which reduces shift times (from approximately 400
milliseconds to 250 milliseconds), sharpens the engine and throttle
responsiveness and firms up the steering in the 363 horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI
V-8 engine.
The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine got
some attention too, with Chrysler bumping the power up to 300 horsepower and 357 Nm of torque, plus adds a unique sport-tuned dual exhaust
system with a more distinctive sound.
The variant will debut in the metal at
the New York Auto Show and will be made available at Chrysler dealerships for
ordering in August.
