2013 Chrysler 300S Turbine Celebrates Original Turbine Car
Although the original Turbine car was powered by Chrysler’s fourth-generation turbine engine – rated at 130 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque – mated to a torque-converter-less TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission, the 300S Turbine retains its 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and eight-speed automatic. Changes to the 300S Turbine are purely cosmetic, including the matte copper paint, which is a modern take on the original 1963 Chrysler Turbine’s Firefrost bronze hue. Tinted headlights and taillights, a gloss black roof, polished mirrors, grille, and 22-inch “Turbine” wheels contrast with the matte finish.Check out the video below to see how the original Turbine car inspired the Chrysler Design team with its work on the 2013 Chrysler 300S Turbine concept and be sure to check out our Road Test of the 1964 Chrysler Turbine Car.
