Chrysler is looking to turn things around with its latest unveiling, the 200C concept. This car should prove to fill the void where the previous Sebring dropped the ball. The exterior is smooth flowing but far from bland! And the real game changer that makes this car a hit is its powertrain! The car is an EV, yup its an electric plug in and it has a small gas engine to extend the range as well. In my opinion, if Chrysler can get the ball rolling on this quickly they could be potentially give them selves a well needed boost to their stock portfolio.
The car is said to be roughly the size of the current BMW 5 series and should seat 4 comfertably. The EV on the name plat shouldnt leave it in the slow lane though. The lithium batterys that power the 74 horsepower electric generator can put out 268 hp when working in combination of the gas motor. What does this mean? 0-60 times in the sub 7 second range and a top speed looking to be over 120 mph. Not too shabby for something roll out of Chryslers doors, and there is the “green” factor too. I can travel on battery alone for up to 40 miles.
You can be certain that this car will be featured with all kinds of gizmos such as internet capabilities. When can you get in line to get one? Not sure, but keep your fingers crossed. Its nice to see the big three doing something positive with your tax dollars!
