Chrysler unveils a new performance model tonight: Watch it live

last week, Chrysler raised a new performance model It will be revealed tonight Detroit auto show. The day came, and Chrysler He’s been tight-lipped about exactly what he plans to show, but based on the specs in the teaser (and Chrysler’s meager lineup), we have a pretty good idea of ​​what we might see this evening.

The Chrysler teaser included a photo of the wheel from the 300 sedan, which was presented not so long ago in the form of an SRT. The big Brembo red calipers behind the face of this alloy suggest we could be looking to revive the old SRT formula, most likely with a combination of a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission—a pairing that was never offered on the old SRT model.

While that certainly isn’t definitive, Chrysler said the new variant will be “one of the most powerful luxury special edition vehicles” in its brand history. The SRT model based on this 300 generation left the market in 2015 with 470 horsepower. Other models with a 6.4-liter capacity offer up to 485 liters, so there’s headroom here for a new model if the Stellantis is too inclined.

There’s also the possibility that a supercharged Hemi may be introduced, or that AWD could enter the mix, but given the sunset state of Chrysler’s current internal combustion engines, it’s unlikely that such a level of development money will be coming up soon—a model that will be discontinued. But hey Stellantis, we still love to see Challenger SRT-10. I’m just saying.

Join us tonight at 6 PM EST to find out exactly what’s in store for Chrysler.
