The Chrysler 300 C is an interesting car. Not only is it one of the last (if not the last) true American, boxy-looking sedans with big V8 power and chrome grille, but it’s also a successful model that’s been on the market for over 15 years. To some viewers, it looks like a typical rental car and nothing to be excited about. However, there was a 300C SRT-8 (via Chrysler).

Equipped with a 6.1-litre V8 Hemi engine pumping out 425 hp and a glorious soundtrack through twin tailpipes, the SRT-8 was a fast and capable car. The 0 to 60 mph sprint took around 4.9 seconds and its top speed was over 170 mph. However, the best thing about this caw will always be the chrome grille and design cues from Chrysler’s past.
