The Chrysler Imperial concept.
At the opposite extreme lies the luxurious Imperial riding on a 123-inch wheelbase, a three-inch stretch over the 300C. To achieve the proper proportions for the concept, the overall length grows 17 inches to 214 inches, and the overall height is six inches taller than a 300C. The car rides on massive 22-inch turbine-finned wheels and tires, with passengers sitting nearly seven inches higher than in the 300C.
Envisioned as a noble yet attainable flagship positioned a cut above the 300C (Its a six-figure image but at a much lower price, says Tremont), the concept designed in Chryslers Auburn Hills studio doesnt mimic Imperials of the past, but it does draw on some of the styling cues from those older cars. It also carries expressive attributes from Chryslers long line of concept cars, from the 1953 dElegance to the Fire-power that premiered at last years Detroit show.
Blazin's notes: Basically what we have here is another car on the same platform as the Magnum, Charger, Challenger, 300C, and 300C Tourning. It will have the same batch of engines and look just as ugly as all the others. But the one thing Chysler do have going for them is that the Hemi is a good power plant, over marketed, but still a good engine never the less.
