Chrysler had a surprise for the attendees of the International Auto Show.  People were expecting to see a new Jeep, maybe even a new sedan, but definitely not this.  A homage paid to the history of the car maker in a fun way.

The Chrysler 300S Turbine is being made as a tribute to the classic and infamous 1963 turbine-powered concept car.  This new concept sports the same bronze color as its predecessor of 1963.  The front of the vehicle has a unique upper and lower machined-billet grille that also call back to the old model.  The headlamps are also a blast from the past with the Chrysler 300S’s Gloss Black headlamp bezels.

The wheels even have a unique styling to them to bring back fond memories.  A massive 22 inches in diameter in a turbine shaped design.

Saad Chehab was a huge fan of the color used in the vehicle.  He loved it the moment he saw it in the design center and is hoping to take numerous elements of the Chrysler 300S Turbine and put it into future S versions of the brand’s vehicles.
