2013.5 Chrysler 200 S Special EditionChrysler is bringing a new 200 with them to the New York Auto Show.

According to Automotives.com, the 2013.5 Chrysler 200S Special Edition will be introduced at the auto event. The new vehicle is the result of a partnership between Chrysler and Carhartt. Currently Carhartt handles the clothing line that Chrysler has featuring the slogan of “Imported from Detroit.”

Saad Chehab, the President and CEO of Chrysler Brand, said in a statement, “The 2013.5 Chrysler 200S Special Edition celebrates a never-say-die attitude and the value of hard work with a car unlike any other in the marketplace. The 200S Special Edition makes the statement that world-class qualify and craftsmanship can be designed and developed in the Motor City, and embraced by consumers everywhere.”

On the outside, the 200S features a gloss black mesh grille that is emphasized by a platinum chrome grille collar. The color of the front bumper is platinum black and the fog lights have a platinum chrome surround.

Inside, it’s clear that Carhartt helped Crhysler with the design. The seating has their triple stitching on black water-resistant fabric. This same style with the triple stitch continues to the steering wheel, armrests, and center console.

Mark Valade, the CEO of Carhartt, spoke about the partnership that lead to the creation of this new Chrysler 200S in a statement, “Our design teams were able to work collaboratively to reflect the heritage of both brands, first with the ‘Imported from Detroit’ line of apparel and now with the Chrysler 200S Special Edition. The vehicle is understated in its levels of sophistication which authentically mirrors our brand.”

The rest of the details will be released when it’s shown off at the New York Auto Show. The 2013.5 Chrysler 200S Special Edition will have a starting MSRP of $28,870.

Much has been said about the incredible job the marketing team with Chrysler has been doing. “Half-Time in America” was a hit with fans when it aired during the Superbowl. Before that, “Imported from Detroit” featuring Eminem in it was capturing the attention of buyers and critics alike. Chrysler wants to keep that momentum going, and to do so will be releasing a new special edition vehicle in honor of the 10th anniversary of Eminem’s popular movie, 8 Mile.

According to NBC news, Chrysler will be putting out a special edition of the Chrysler 200 sedan. That’s not all, however, as the company has another release planned. To tie-in with the new Broadway show, Motown: The Musical, there will be a Chrysler 300 based around the show. The tie-in campaigns that these vehicles are part of stem from comments Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne made that emphasized the auto-maker’s roots in Detroit. Olivier Francois, Chrysler’s global marketing chief, went even further by saying, “We needed to give Detroit credit for what it really does stand for”

No word yet on to what degree Eminem himself will be involved with the promotion of the sedan. Chrysler is currently getting ready to show off even more of their premium vehicles during the SEMA show, scheduled to happen over the Halloween week. Keep your eyes and ears peeled to the future to see what develops out of that auto-show.
