Power increase to 556hp

The new Chrysler 300C SRT8 is there and GeigerCars.de (www.GeigerCars.de) already offers an equally extensive and exclusive tuning program for the sporty Chrysler top-of-the-line model.

Extra power via supercharger is the GeigerCars.de motto for the tune-up of the 6.1 litre V8 HEMI engine of the SRT8. The engine technicians of Europe’s leading customizer for US cars are developing a supercharger engine for the big Chrysler. The GeigerCars.de system consists of a belt-driven supercharger with integrated, watercooled intercooler, a high performance exhaust system including special manifolds and steel-bed catalysts and a recalibrated ECU.

The compressor helps the engine to achieve a power increase from standard 430 hp / 317 kW to about 556 hp / 409 kW at 5,200 rpm. Maximum torque is increased to 679 Nm at 4,800 revs. The engine conversion reduces the acceleration time from 0 - 100 km/h to about 4.7 seconds, maximum speed will be 300 km/h plus.

The GeigerCars.de supercharger kit for the 300C SRT8 will be available from fall 2006 when the development is finished. The sport exhaust system will be available soon. The exhaust system doesn’t only deliver a more exciting engine sound but also a more spectacular look due to its alternatively two or four large chromed exhaust tips.

Of course GeigerCars.de also offers a wide range of exclusive accessories for both bodywork versions of the 300C. To be able to fully exploit the road performances of the supercharged engine it is necessary to furnish the car with bigger wheels. GeigerCars.de offers different versions up to the wheel/tire combination shown on the photos. The three-piece 9.5Jx22 light alloy rims and 265/35 ZR 22 tires front and rear are offered for a retail price of 8,500 Euros. A 24-inch version is in the pipeline.

To give the front of the 300C a more striking appearance GeigerCars.de offers a custom-made chrome radiator grille. The exactly fitting accessory, which is offered for a retail price of 850 Euros, can be easily mounted.

GeigerCars.de also supplies professional suspension and brake tuning for the SRT8. The range contains lowering springs or a height-adjustable GeigerCars.de sport suspension to lower the sedan and Touring up to 50 millimeters. A GeigerCars.de high performance brake system is under development.

GeigerCars.de also offers a wide range for upgrading the interior: The ex-works leather trim can be completed or alternatively replaced by more exclusive interior appointments in every possible color and design. In addition, GeigerCars.de also offers state-of-the-art multimedia technology for the Chrysler.

Very nice power for such a huge sedan/wagon. But very ugly grill and rims.

NiteOwl

I think the big Chryslers are very cool to look at, and quite powerful. However, materials, fit and finish on the inside totally blows...

Chip foose already did this version on overhaulin.. He took the 300c front end and put it on the magnum and then superchargered it.. If anyone else saw that episode it was pretty bad ***.. The concept is great but your right the wheels are no good..

trent

I seen the episode you're talking about, he took a very ugly magnum, and made it look very nice with the conversion.

GFerg

Yep, saw it too. I like the conversion as well. It looked great. Sounded great too.

That exhaust+rear bumper looks like crap. Why are the pipes off center w/ the cutouts?

I don't care if that was intentional -

Two thumbs down.

Just doesnt look right

Nice engine specs!!!

The big difference is Europe gets a 300C wagon, known as the 300C Tourer, and we don't. So Geiger didn't have to convert anything, they just added power and bling.

I actually like that front end on the Magnum.. Will this model be available in the US? The front end looks more appealing to me for some reason..

Yea they really did a good job on overhaulin on that magnum.. You hate to see them take a part a brand new car but Chip Foose knows what he's doing..

A charger actually passed me the other day and it sounded awesome.. From the stop light that thing just took off... Sounded real mean with that HEMI..

I see a few 300C station wagons rolling around detroit (near DC HQ). They all have dealer plates on them. I was really thrown off the first time I saw one. They don't look too bad at all.
