Introducing the 2013.5 Chrysler 200S Special Edition!

In recent months, the Chrysler 300 has received its share of special attention, with Chrysler designers reimagining the standard look (if you can call it that) of the 300 in inventive new ways. From the icy-cool Chrysler 300 Glacier, to the sleek and sexy John Varvatos Limited and Luxury Editions, to the white-hot Motown Edition, the Chrysler 300 has been driven to the forefront of design.

Now, it’s time for the Chrysler 200 sedan to enjoy its moment in the spotlight.

Introducing the new 2013.5 Chrysler 200S Special Edition, a unique, limited edition 200S with a one-of-kind exterior/interior combo inspired by and building on the aggressive and sporty appearance of the popular “S” package currently available. Raising the bar further is the historic collaboration with a company born right here in Detroit more than 120 years ago: Carhartt®.

Like all Chrysler 200 sedans, the 2013.5 Chrysler 200S Special Edition will start production at the Sterling Heights, Michigan, assembly plant but will undergo additional upfitting at the Chrysler Group LLC upfit center in Warren. Furthermore, the 200S Special Edition will enjoy several incredible—and standard—features, including:

• The best-in-class 283 horsepower Pentastar® V-6 engine
• Boston Acoustics® premium sound system
• Touchscreen radio with Bluetooth® hands-free phone
• Sport-tuned suspension

Surrounding these features will be an ultra-cool exterior punctuated by a new gloss black mesh grille with a floating Chrysler wing. Other exterior features include:

• Unique semi-gloss black 18-inch aluminum wheels
• New lower front fascia with a lip spoiler, giving the front end an even more aggressive look
• Body-color sill cladding, platinum chrome molding and unique black 200 badging
• At rear of vehicle, body-color decklid spoiler, platinum chrome light bar and a unique rear valence with polished fascia-mounted exhaust tips

  Detroit-based outfitter Carhartt, a company known for durable work-wear and personified by hard work and perseverance, collaborated on the interior design and materials. Unique items include:

• Seats featuring a durable water-resistant fabric insert specially selected by Carhartt, with the Carhartt logo embossed in the upper portion of the front seats
• Signature Carhartt triple stitching along the seats in diesel grey color
• Air vents and steering wheel painted with a unique black paint to give them an aggressive but understated look

  The 2013.5 Chrysler 200S Special Edition is the embodiment of the values the Chrysler brand prizes most—determination, drive and the will to push ahead into new territories of design.
