Detroit Show: Chrysler Nassau Concept unofficially unleashed


Let’s get straight to the point on this one. Chrysler’s Detroit concept is a luxury sports sedan based on the 300 platform that could be described as 4door-shooting brake (or break if you preffer). Then again, if you’ve been to Europe you could say its an American version of the Opel Signum.

Anyway, although being nearly 5 metres (196,1”) long, the Nassau actually looks quite compact in the pics. In the interior, Chrysler’s new concept treats its passengers with anatomic bucket seats and as MOPAR boyz put it, “cell phone, computer, iPod and MP3 player” inspired designed elements.



Apart from sharing its platform with the Chrysler 300, the Nassau also gets the 300C SRT-8’s 6.1L HEMI V8 producing 425 Hp. Unfortunately, it also shares the same 5speed Auto transmission –how about a manual guys?. According to Chrysler, the Nassau can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 5,0 seconds reaching a top speed of 165 mph.
