This is the new Chrysler 200. One of the first fruits of a unified Fiat-Chrysler and an undisputed looker, the new 200 introduces a level of Italian style, advanced drivleline technology, and interior refinement that seems totally at odds with most people’s understanding of the company that brought us the K-Car.
That’s one of the things that the Chrysler execs showing off the new car addressed, actually- along with the fact that the new Chrysler 200 required a billion-dollar round of upgrades to the Sterling Heights assembly plant which, in addition to delivering incredibly precise tolerances, improved the plant’s energy efficiency by more than 60% compared to the plant producing the outgoing Chrysler 200.
The big news for gear heads, though, is under the hood of the new Chrysler 200. The latest Multi-Air engine does away with an intake cam, and makes use of a infinitely variable pneumatic cams … last seen in Ferrari’s Formula 1 V8 race car last season.
We’ll cover the new Chrysler 200′s Multi-Air engine in its own post later on (yeah, it really is that good). Until then, enjoy some of these up-close and personal shots of Chrysler’s new sexy … and maybe let us know if you think it deserves to be the new Lancia Delta, after all, in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
