New commercial showcases the new 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition vehicle

Chrysler 300 Motown Edition will be revealed in Detroit at the 2013 North American International Auto Show
December 20, 2012 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -The Chrysler brand is continuing to build upon the heart, soul and the passion of Detroit with a new 60-second commercial titled “Who We Are.” The commercial showcases the new 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition and features legendary Motown founder and Detroit native Berry Gordy, taking you through his journey from humble beginnings in Detroit to the bright lights of New York’s Times Square and home of the new Broadway show "Motown: The Musical." The ad “Who We Are” will make a broadcast debut on Thurs., Dec. 20.
“Berry Gordy is a true inspiration and has paved the way to signify the sound and the drive that reflects the spirit of Detroit and the people who live in it,” said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer, Chrysler Group LLC. “It is a privilege to have such a legendary icon partner with the Chrysler brand and the 300 Motown Edition.”
“The Chrysler brand’s imagination moved the world, while our rhythms forever changed music adding a sound and uplifting spirit that could only be from the Motor City.

The spot opens with Berry Gordy sitting in the backseat of the Chrysler 300 Motown Edition parked outside the Motown Museum in Detroit, the building where Motown Records was created. As the car pulls away the voiceover begins to tell the story of sound and drive of the city of Detroit, a sound that still moves people and a drive that allows it to overcome any challenge that comes its way.
As he drives through the streets, images of a young Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Supremes and the Temptations flash across the screen and viewers are taken through iconic visuals of the streets of Detroit and eventually transported to the streets of New York where Berry Gordy’s destination is revealed in front of the "Motown: The Musical" marquee at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre in New York City. The spot ends with Berry Gordy stepping out of the vehicle and saying, “We are Motown and this is what we do,” and announcing the musical coming to Broadway in March 2013.

Making sure the soul of Motown can be heard and felt, this limited-edition Chrysler sedan includes 100 tracks from original Motown recording artists loaded on the Uconnect 8.4’s SD card reader. This list of songs has never been released before, with 90 of the songs in their original versions, while an additional 10 DJ remixes put a contemporary stamp on some Motown Classics.
State-of-the-art Uconnect 8.4 provides Chrysler 300 Motown passengers with the segment’s largest touchscreen display (8.4-inch) and mobile infotainment, connectivity and multimedia features.

Chrysler 300S Commemorates The Bronze Legend
With its specially formulated “Turbine Bronze” matte-finished exterior paint and Gloss Black painted roof, this Chrysler 300S unmistakably recalls the contrast of the historic two-tone 1963 Chrysler Turbine. At the front, a more pronounced front fascia with unique upper and lower machined-billet grilles hark to the original Ghia-bodied model’s craftsmanship. The original car’s bold shadowed headlamps formed from its concentric ring design are brought back to life through this Chrysler 300S model’s Gloss Black headlamp bezels. The two-tone color combination continues as the rolled-door frames and taillamp surrounds are finished in accenting Gloss Black. Most prominent to the profile of this Chrysler 300S are its uniquely machined “turbine” styled wheels. With 20 sculpted-fin blades spanning a massive 22 inches in diameter, the polished-finish wheels provides an aggressive stance and striking tribute. At the rear, a body color deck-lid spoiler provides a more dynamic look.
The Original Chrysler Turbine
The Chrysler Turbine program began in 1954 and lasted until 1981. Over the 27 year span, a total of seven-generations of turbine engines were designed. However, 50 years ago, the 1963 Chrysler Turbine came to live with a fifth-generation turbine engine. While, the majority of the turbine development engines were installed in standard Chrysler cars and trucks, only the 1963 Ghia-bodied version was designed to be powered with a turbine engine.
A total of 50 Ghia-bodied gas-turbine cars were built between 1963 and 1964. Most of the vehicles were loaned to members of the general public for a three-month trial period. Over the life of the program, a total of 200 families used the Chrysler Turbine vehicles. Their feedback was overwhelmingly positive. All 50 Chrysler Turbine test cars were painted “Turbine Bronze” and had matching interiors. However, one of the vehicles was repainted white and driven in the movie “The Lively Set” by a Chrysler engineer.
To prove the engines flexibility, the vehicles were run on perfume, alcohol, kerosene, diesel and even JP-4 jet fuel. The twin-regenerator gas-turbine engine featured two independent turbine wheels – one to power the vehicle and a second to drive the compressor and engine accessories. This fifth-generation turbine engine was coupled to a modified TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. Engine output was 130 horsepower and an impressive 450 ft.-lb. of torque at the output shaft.
The Turbine engine was never put into production due to the cost of its manufacture and the fact that fuel economy ratings were never dramatically better than the standard internal combustion engine.
At the end of the evaluation period all but nine of these cars were scrapped due to tax and import tariffs. Of the nine remaining Chrysler Turbines, two are kept within Chrysler Group’s historical collection and seven were given to museums. The Chrysler Turbine cars currently reside at: Detroit Historical, Smithsonian Inst., Museum of Transportation, St. Louis, Peterson Museum – Los Angeles, a private owner in Indiana, the Blackhawk Collection and Jay Leno. Of the nine, five remain in operating condition.

January 18, 2013 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -
Through lifestyle driven models, the new 2013 Chrysler 300 continues to show the numerous personalities that are capable from its elegant and iconic design. Beginning with the ultimate in muscle – Chrysler 300 SRT8, the ultimate in luxury – new Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Luxury Edition, the ultimate audiophile – Chrysler 300S with Beats by Dr. Dre, and now arriving in time to tackle winter, the ultimate all-weather athlete – the new Chrysler 300 Glacier.
From cruising through the city, to escaping away to a snow-covered ski resort, the new 2013 Chrysler 300 Glacier has a commanding design presence and the power and all-weather capability to carve through some of the most snow-covered landscapes.
With its state-of-the-art eight-speed automatic transmission, steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters, and a more powerful 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with new sport-tuned exhaust and cold-air induction system delivering 300 horsepower — the new 2013 Chrysler 300 Glacier delivers best-in-class fuel economy (18 mpg city / 27 mpg highway, while providing maximum all-weather traction, efficiency and driving performance through the segment’s most advanced AWD system.

Exterior paint colors for this Chrysler 300 include Bright White, Billet Silver Metallic and exclusively to this model, Glacier Blue Pearl Coat.
The interior of the Chrysler 300 Glacier exudes an athletic-luxury theme with 12-way power driver and passenger sport seats featuring black “Falls” cloth in the seat centers and leather-wrapped bolsters in black and finished with black French-seamed stitching. Exclusive use of Piano Black on interior center stack, instrument panel, steering wheel, gauge cluster and door panel elements provide a uniquely lacquered and highly detailed appearance. For even more spirited driving die-cast steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters with “sport mode” are ergonomically designed behind the 300 Glacier’s black leather-wrapped thick-rimmed steering wheel. Completing the enthusiast-designed interior are matte carbon hydrographic accents and black floor mats with black velour binding and “Glacier” logo embroidered.
