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.
