If you want to buy a car that looks very expensive on a limited budget, then I believe most people can't get around: the aura of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and the Chrysler 300C of A4 BMW 3 Series.

In "Breaking Bad", Lao Bai drove it out, and the iconic large chrome metal wheels and roaring sound became the dream car of every American drama fan.

But dreams always wake up.

This legendary model, which was born in 1955, has been officially discontinued with the last Hemi V8-engined Chrysler 300C off the production line.

Since then, only the Chrysler brand has been left with the Grand Jie Long minivan for home travel.

300c in 1957

According to Stellantis Group's 2030 strategy, the Chrysler brand will become an all-electric car brand in the future.

To commemorate the model (to receive the last wave of leeks), the 300c was launched in North America in a final limited edition with a 64L HemiV8 naturally aspirated engine, 644 Nm, mated to a Torqueflite 8-speed automatic gearbox, top speed 257 km/h.

There has also been a relative leap forward in the equipment changes, including Brembo brakes, limited-slip differentials, active suspension and active exhaust systems. The new model is limited to 2,200 units (including 2,000 units in the U.S. and 200 units in Canada).

As a commemorative model, it was sold out without surprise. Chrysler said that within 12 hours of the announcement of the suspension of production, the 2,200 vehicles were fully ordered.

It's hard to imagine that this generation of 300C, which has been in production for 12 years, can still have such a high popularity.

When it comes to cost performance, this car is quite contradictory:

Chrysler 300 has front and rear drive, as well as the same classic American design as the Dodge series models, plus money can also be equipped with HEMI V8, also known as a generation of civilian V8 (this car has been sold in the domestic market, ** in about 400,000);

But at the same time, in the highly competitive global market, the Chrysler 300 can still lie flat with the appearance of 12 years (or even more), from the inside to the outside without changing, and even the structure is not different from the previous generation, which has a clear sense of separation from the current era.

But having said that, the design of this kind of thing has been reincarnated for decades, and instead of ending the 300C, perhaps the combination of motor + large-displacement engine, retro appearance + technological and concise interior can also make this car regain the favor of the market. I want to change this car to Rolls-Royce Gust back then, and how many wedding car rental companies can be fed. It's a pity to say that it's gone.
