The Chrysler 300C concluded production at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario on December 8, 2023. The last model, a Velvet Red 2023 Chrysler 300C, powered by a 6.4L V8 Hemi engine, was celebrated by the Brampton team in recognition of its Hemi-powered legacy. The Chrysler 300 series was initially introduced in 1955 and revived in 2005. However, the current generation - launched in 2014 - will bid adieu, too, as production concludes by the end of December 2023.

The final model features a velvet-red exterior paint.

The 2023 Chrysler 300C was unveiled at the 2022 North American International Auto Show. It pays homage to the nearly 70-year heritage of the Chrysler 300. Moreover, reservations for this special edition were swiftly exhausted within 12 hours of its 2022 debut, with a limited production of 2,000 units in the U.S. and 200 in Canada.

Originating in 1957 with a 6.4-litre, 375 bhp Hemi engine, the Chrysler 300C marked a milestone for the 300 line. The reintroduction in 2005 saw the revival of the 300C model and the return of the Hemi engine to the Chrysler brand after five decades. The 2023 Chrysler 300C, rejoining the 300 lineup after a two-year hiatus, continues the legacy with an impressive performance of 485 bhp, 644 Nm of torque, and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds.
