2012 Chrysler 300C SRT8

2012 Chrysler 300C SRT8: The 470-horsepower 2012 Chrysler 300C SRT8 matches rev with grunt, pounding out 470 lb-ft of torque; yet it gets 25% better highway mileage than its predecessor. One spotted car was red, one was titanium with a black chrome grille surround and black chrome wheels; the final car uses silver Brembo calipers, with 14.2 inch front and 13.8 inch rear vented, slotted rotors.

Already alert braking system sets the pads closer to the rotors to reduce lag time when the driver suddenly releases the gas pedal. Brake fade is reduced thanks to new cooling ducts. New for 2012 is an adaptive damping suspension (ADS) system which adjusts the suspension based on speed, steering angle and speed, brake torque, throttle position, and acceleration (vertical and lateral). A Sport mode locks the system into a higher damping rate.
