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.
