The Chrysler 300 SRT8, from Midway Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram west of Grand Island, is the no compromises king of the hill in the 300 model lineup in 2012, featuring the ultimate combination of world-class luxury and performance in the most powerful, best-handling Chrysler brand sedan ever.

2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8
The Street and Racing Technology (SRT) performance engineering team builds upon the all-new Chrysler 300 sedan already executed for a world-class luxury experience, to deliver Chrysler's most powerful and best handling model ever. Performance numbers include 0-60 mph acceleration in the high 4-second range, 1/4 mile in high 12 second range, top speed of 175 mph, and stopping power from 60-0 mph in 120 feet.
Awe-inspiring powertrain
Under the hood of the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8, the new 6.4L HEMI V8 makes its debut in the Chrysler Brand product lineup delivering 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, up 45 horsepower and 50 lb.-ft. over the 6.1L HEMI V8 it replaces. The improved torque output, including an additional 80 lb.-ft. at 2,900 rpm, allows for inspired standing starts and improved straight-line performance while new, performance-tuned, motor mounts improve idle stability and ride control at any speed. An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing provides maximum low-end torque while optimizing high-end power. Even with the elevated power numbers, an estimated 25% fuel economy increase on the highway is achieved by use of a new active valve exhaust system that allows the standard Fuel Saver Technology (4 cylinder mode) to engage over a wider rpm range. The new active exhaust system also allows for straight-through mid and rear mufflers for a throaty exhaust note under engine load. The proven 5 speed automatic transmission features new, standard steering wheel mounted paddle shifters that join the center console mounted Auto Stick, allowing for a choice of spirited shifting on both the road and the race track. Both methods give the driver the ability to manually select specific gears on the transmission. In Drive, the transmission controller will automatically shift the vehicle. The aggressiveness of the shifting is defined by the mode chosen, either Normal or Sport. Fully adaptive electronic control of all shifting makes the powertrain more responsive while minimizing harshness. In Manual, the shift method is defined by the driver choosing to use either paddle shift or Auto Stick. The Sport mode adds a hold function to the calibration in all gears, allowing the driver full control of the shifting schedule.
Outstanding Ride, Handling, and Capability
New for 2012 is an adaptive damping suspension (ADS) system that is tuned specifically for the Chrysler 300 SRT8 to offer a compliant and comfortable ride. In Auto mode, a wide range of on-road and driver inputs, such as vehicle speed, steering angle, steering speed, brake torque, throttle position and lateral/vertical accelerations; automatically tune the suspension for specific conditions. In Sport mode, the damping system rebound and compression is locked to the higher damping rate. Drivers can easily choose between settings to quickly change the shock damping and harshness characteristics from Auto, for everyday commuting, to Sport, for more spirited driving situations. The performance SRT-tuned, fully hydraulic steering system also has been improved with a new, heavy-duty pump and revised gearing, to give drivers more direct feel and on-center response. New seven-spoke, 20-inch lightweight forged aluminum wheels and available three or four season tires, provide great looks with fun-to-drive performance and handling.
Benchmark Braking
SRT vehicles are well known for their world-class stopping power and the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 features 14.2 inch (front) and 13.8 inch (rear) vented/slotted rotors with four-piston Brembo calipers painted in silver finish. The Ready Alert Braking system anticipates when the driver quickly releases the accelerator pedal and may initiate an emergency brake stop, after which the electronic stability control pump engages to set brake pads against rotors in order to decrease the time required for full brake application. Improved brake cooling and fade performance comes courtesy of wind-tunnel designed brake cooling ducts that direct airflow to the vented rotors for consistent stopping power.
Aggressive and Functional Exterior
An exclusive new front fascia has a modern, yet timeless appearance that is carried through with the all-new grille and new Chrysler Brand Wing Badge. The new black chrome upper and lower grille surrounds, rear valance strip and wheels are part of the Black Chrome Package. The 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8, , available just west of Grand Island at Midway Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, sits a half inch lower than non-SRT models and features new SRT-exclusive side sill cladding painted in matching body color for the look of a true sports sedan. Standard wheels are seven-spoke, 20 x 9 inch, fully forged aluminum with polished face and painted sparkle silver. The available fully forged, Black Chrome aluminum wheels are the same seven-spoke, 20 x 9 inch design. The rear includes a unique lower fascia with chrome accent bar, new 4-inch round dual exhaust tips and a modified SRT8 decklid badge with new black accent.
