Yes, it’s very blue, and yes it has plenty of styling customizations, but what’s really interesting about Chrysler’s SEMA Show 300 Super S is hidden under its hood.
The concept’s 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine has been upgraded up with Mopar Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Upgrade Kits, which in Chrysler’s own words, “exactly mimic the modifications and performance boosts delivered by Mopar Scat Pack Performance kits” offered on the 5.7-liter Dodge Challenger and Charger models.
What this means is, a boost of 75hp and 44 lb.-ft. of torque over the stock 363hp and 394 lb-ft of torque HEMI V8 for a (coincidental) total of 438hp and 438 lb-ft –which would make for a nice name if Chrysler decides to offer this package on the 300. And we don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t, especially after the demise of the SRT version, for those customers who prefer the more lux 300 over the Dodge Charger.
Other Mopar production parts used on the 300 Super S are the front and rear performance strut tower braces, and a Big Brake Kit. Non-production pieces include the fitment of custom upper and lower grilles with more than…300 miniature Mopar “M” dots (no, we didn’t count them, so we’re taking Chrysler’s word for it), 22-inch rims, a rear valence and a deck-lid spoiler.
