chrysler 200c ev

As its name suggests this RWD LX-platform-based concept is envisioned as a potential addition to the 300 lineup in Chrysler dealerships, allowing the 300 to move upmarket a bit. Based on a 116-inch wheelbase (some four inches shorter than the 300's), with shorter overhangs the 200C concept was introduced with a 268-hp electric motor and a range-extending combustion engine. Little has been said about this component but we've learned it's to be a 2-cylinder turbocharged engine adapted from another industry. The combination is suposed to deliver 0-60 acceleration in under seven seconds. This ENVI-developed drivetrain might be a little ways off, but the new Phoenix V-6 is said to fit beneath that aerodynamic hoodline (a V-8 won't, leaving that to the senior 300).
