What Changed
The high-performance 300 SRT8 returns for the 2012 model year. The SRT8 features a powerful engine, and a reworked suspension. The SRT8 has 6.4-liter V-8 under the hood that produces an estimated 465 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. The SRT8 is equipped with a five speed automatic. A unique grille and body cladding along with a lower ride height differentiate the SRT8. SRT models add performance oriented measurements like steering angle, g-force, braking distance, and acceleration times to the information display. The Luxury Series is all about the upgraded appointments which include wood accents, premium leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped instrument panel. The exterior is differentiated with a platinum chrome finish on the grille, mirrors and door handles. |
