Please remark: The Chrysler 300M
is a full-sized luxury sports sedan. Chrysler Corporation revived the 300 name
on the 300-M. This time it was a front-wheel drive, 255 hp (190 kW; 259 PS) V6
engined car using the Chrysler LH platform. While not technically part of the
famous "letter series" that was built from 1955 to 1965, Chrysler did
use the next letter after the last of the series, the 300-L, but did not have
300 hp. However, it is estimated, that its gross horsepower would exceed
the 300 mark, which is how the series received its name, and it is a luxury car
with very good handling and general performance, but unlike the original cars,
it does fall short of dominating its vehicle class. The 300-M Special
was offered beginning midyear 2002. It featured a 255 hp 3.5 liter engine
designed to use premium (91+ octane) gasoline and producing 258 pound
force-feet of torque, with a 3.89 final drive ratio. Performance-type
dual exhaust, high-performance brakes, and 18-inch Z-rated tires were standard,
with Michelin Pilot Sport 245/45R18 performance tires optional. Other standard
features of the Special included premium "Waterfall" leather seats,
signal mirrors, body cladding, and slightly lower ride height. This model also
included high-intensity discharge headlamps and imitation-carbon-fiber interior
trim panels that replaced the standard wood grain trim panels. A limited number of
300M "Pro-Am" models were marketed during 2002. These versions
included an Infinity audio system with subwoofers as well as two-toned leather
interiors.
