The 2023 Chrysler 300C honors the 300 model with a special, limited-production run — only 2,000 units will be offered in the Ú.S. with another 200 available in Canada.

Additional performance features include 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 300C rides on 20-by-9-inch forged wheels​ with all-season performance tires. The exterior carries black chrome accents on the grille and lower fascia, plus black headlamp and taillamp bezels. Three exterior colors are available for the 300C: Gloss Black, Velvet Red and Bright White.

Inside, black Laguna leather front seats are embossed with the new 300C logo and further accented with unique silver stitching. Silver stitching also reaches the doors and leather instrument panel, with carbon fiber and Piano Black touches on the interior bezels.

The 300C packs a premium 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and the 8.4-inch Úconnect infotainment system, as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, comes standard.
