What happens when you mix American luxury with classic V8 muscle?

You get the 2017 Chrysler 300S V8—a full-size sedan that looks like a luxury cruiser but hides a seriously powerful engine under the hood.

Nik Miles takes the wheel of this tire-shredding luxury sedan to see if the Chrysler 300S still delivers the bold personality that made it famous. Powered by Chrysler’s legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8, the 300S produces 363 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque, giving this big sedan the kind of performance you normally expect from a muscle car.

But the Chrysler 300 has always been about more than just power.

Inside, the 300S blends classic American comfort with modern technology. The cabin features leather sport seats, a large touchscreen with Uconnect infotainment, premium audio, and driver-focused controls, making it just as comfortable on long highway drives as it is when the road opens up.

In this video Nik explores:

What it’s like driving the 2017 Chrysler 300S with the HEMI V8

How this full-size sedan balances luxury and muscle car performance

The interior tech and features that make the 300S unique

Why the Chrysler 300 still stands out in a world full of crossovers and SUVs

The Chrysler 300 has always been a bit rebellious—a big American sedan that refuses to give up its V8 attitude.

So the real question is: in a market moving toward smaller engines and electrification, does the 2017 Chrysler 300S V8 still make sense… or does it make even more sense than ever?

Watch the full video to find out.
Luxury Sedan… or Muscle Car? 2017 Chrysler 300S V8 Tire-Shredding First Drive!

Marconi broadcasts from his brand new custom boutique vocal booth, freshly spackled and rearranged just in time to make it on the air. Nik shares details about an upcoming trip where he will be driving on ice, which Marconi is absolutely not okay with. The crew also digs into some recall news, answers listener questions in Ask Test Miles, and all the while Nik’s dog provides background sound effects by happily chewing on a bone. A little chaos, a lot of cars, and another fun ride with Test Miles. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
