A Chrysler representative told us last month that he was doubtful of the Chrysler 300 SRT sedan’s future due to its slow sales. The car's future may still be in doubt, but new spy photos suggest that the high-performance sedan could be around for at least a little while longer. A pair of refreshed 2015 Chrysler 300 prototypes was spotted in Detroit, with one vehicle looking more performance-oriented.
Despite the camouflage, we can tell the potential Chrysler 300 SRT8 model sports a new wire mesh grille with extra material covering what appears to be a grille emblem -- possibly an SRT badge. A redesigned lower fascia and front lip can also be made out. The first prototype also sports red Brembo brake calipers with slotted rotors peeking out from behind a set of large five-spoke alloy wheels, which sport a black finish and are shod with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. A pair of large round exhaust tips and a trunk lid spoiler also hints at the car’s high-performance potential. Our photographer likened the prototype's exhaust note to "thunder," booming as the driver tried to escape the camera. However, it’s unlikely this prototype had the Hellcat engine.
The second prototype is less aggressive and features a revised grille and front fascia with new fog lights. The Chrysler wing badge now floats just below its former position at the top of the grille. Around back, this prototype sports revised taillights, a new bumper, and trapezoidal exhaust tips. Photo Source: Chris Doane Automotive
