The 2023 Chrysler 300C was revealed in the heart of Downtown Detroit, in front of the iconic Spirit of Detroit statue in on Woodward Avenue.

There will only be 2,000 units of the 2023 Chrysler 300C offered in the U.S., with another 200 available in Canada. However, the 6.4L Hemi engine makes the final version of America’s big, bold sedan even bigger and bolder. Capable of sending the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. It can also cover a quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 160 mph. In addition, the sedan features red four-piston Brembo brakes, a 3.09 limited-slip differential, active damping suspension, and black, rounded exhaust tips that accent an active exhaust system that delivers a muscular, throaty sound.

A new iteration of the tri-color 300C badge dresses up the exterior on the grille and rear decklid, and the Chrysler 300C rides on 20-by-9-inch forged wheels with all-season performance tires. In addition, the exterior carries black chrome accents on the grille and lower fascia, plus black headlamp and taillamp bezels.

Zac's love for cars started at a young age, after seeing the popular Eleanor from Gone In 60 Seconds. From there, fascination and enthusiasm blossomed and to this day the Ford Mustang remains a favorite. His first job started out detailing cars, but also provided the opportunity to work on restoration including an 1968 Ford Mustang, Pontiac Firebird, and a C3 Corvette, though he left that job before further work and experience could be had. From there, he was a detailer at a car dealership before quitting that job to try and finish college.

Much of his free time while studying was spent watching YouTube videos regarding new cars, or off-roading. 4WD247 is a personal favorite channel which rekindled a dying flame in car enthusiasm, now tailored towards trucks and SUVs and the fun that can be had building up an overlanding rig, and going on adventures, though, that chapter remains unwritten for the time being.
