Chrysler 300C SRT8 - 50,000 Dollar Bentley



For those of us who don’t have +100k to spend on an AMG there is another option to still gets us that raw power, yet refined classy look and it is the Chrysler 300c SRT8. The new SRT8 starts at $48,670 which gets you a giant 470 horsepower 6.4 Liter Hemi V-8. This power plant is capable of propelling the Chrysler up to 175 MPH. The SRT8 isn’t as composed as its German completion and doesn’t post quite as good of numbers, but it also costs about half as much. Where the C63 AMG hits 0 - 60 in around 4 seconds, the SRT gets there in 4.7 seconds.


One surprising area that this car excels in is handling. It would humiliate a $300k Bentley in the turns thanks to its perfectly programmed transmission. It holds its revs in turns extremely well never seeming to run out of stamina. The Chrysler 300 has also repeatedly been voted one of the best cruising highway cars on the market for its comfort and chassis which makes the car seem to float over the road.
This car has also been praised for having one of the most classy and unique looks around.


The interior in the previous generation 300 was definitely the weak area of this car. It was bland and looked like it didn't belong in a sub 5 second 0 - 60 car. Chrysler has without a doubt fixed this issue in the new model. As you can see the carbon fiber inlays as well as neon blue lighting add a very refined look to this interior. It is not too complicated, yet still gives you the feel of a $50k sports car.

In the end this car is extremely impressive in its refined interior, road feel, handling, and blistering acceleration; all things we are used to hearing from its German competition, but this time it is an SRT8.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - Alpine and Vapor Edition


Recently, Jeep has come out with two new special editions for its priciest trim of the Grand Cherokee, the SRT8. The SRT8 is well known for its sheer power and use of brute force to achieve blistering acceleration. It uses the newly updated 6.4 Liter SRT8 engine which produces 470 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque and runs from 0 – 60 in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 160 MPH. This Jeep can also pull off 0.90 g on the skid pad so the handling definitely wasn’t forgotten about either. Keep in mind; this is a 5,256 lb Jeep that is posting numbers close to that of a corvette.


At a starting price of $61,600 it comes with all of the amenities one might expect from a 60K+ car; LED daytime running lamps, 20 inch forged aluminum wheels, brembo brakes, 7.3 surround sound system, and a refined SRT styled Nappa leather interior. For a price of only $2,495 more, you can opt for the Alpine or Vapor editions. Each edition comes with slick 5 spoke gloss black wheels, badges, grills and a rear light bar along with some other appealing components. The Alpine edition comes in Bright White and the Vapor edition comes in Brilliant Black.


Opt in for the additional luxury package and you will get premium leather on the door trim panels, center console and instrument panels as well as adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning, and a Blind spot Monitoring system. Add in a few more packages and this Jeep starts to match up more with the luxury of a Mercedes or BMW than what one would usually expect from a Jeep.


Another unique feature of this Jeep is that drivers can choose between 5 different dynamic modes for different driving conditions: Auto, Sport, Tow, Track, and Snow. So whether you’re off-roading, want a comfortable luxurious ride, or want to smoke a mustang at a stoplight, with this Jeep you can do it all, and that is what makes this one of the most unique vehicles on the road.
