New Chrysler 300 SRT Not Coming to US

Some sad news for SRT fans, the new Chrysler 300 is not going to be coming state-side.

A recently refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT is not coming to US dealerships according to Fiat-Chrysler.  They’ve been working hard to get the SRT brand integrated into Dodge and have it be associated with a new level of performance.  If you take a look at the recent slew of SRT and Dodge products, such as the Viper TA, and the Challenger and Charger Hellcats, this seems to be the idea that Dodge is aiming for.

Sadly, the 300 SRT doesn’t meet what FCA wants associated with the brand in the states.  The demand for the 300 SRT has remained low in comparison to the other vehicles.  That means this new 300 SRT will only see the light of day in Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, and New Zealand.

It makes me wonder if FCA is holding off on the 300 SRT until the 300’s new facelift comes along in the next few years.  For the time being, Dodge and SRT seem to be concentrating their efforts on getting the Hellcats out to the US public where it is in high demand.  The next major release appears to be the Jeep Hellcat.  Time will tell if the 300 SRT comes to the US.

Many Americans feel a certain need when it comes to their vehicles and that is the need for speed. While some may shop around for comfort and for being able to hold more stuff, others simply want a vehicle that goes fast. American car makers became famous for their muscle cars and the power that they could push out. Since then, the European automakers have put together an impressive competitive list. Wall St Cheat Sheet put together a list of American cars that are speed-machines and the SRT Viper made the cut.

The engineers at SRT have been dutiful in producing the highest quality in the Viper. Back when Dodge was producing the Viper, the name became known for its speed. SRT did not want to disappoint the fans. They worked hard to bring back the Viper with a familiar look but with all necessary upgrades to keep it competitive in today’s world.

The Viper has a 8.4 liter V10 engine and is capable of 640 horsepower. That means the Viper can make zero to 60 in about 3 seconds. SRT has been making significant tweaks every moment they can to keep the Viper on the edge with the competition from Ford and Chevrolet. And, while Chrysler is owned by Fiat, an Italian company, it is still put together here in the States.
