For the 2023 Chrysler 300, the carmaker introduced the limited-edition 300C that comes with a Hemi 6.4-liter V8 engine.
That being said, only 2,000 units of the 300C were built for the U.S., according to auto news outlet Cars Direct.
The line of Chrysler 300s lasted 18 years and was even driven by multiple notable public figures.
Stars that drove the model include rapper Snoop Dogg and President Barack Obama, Automotive News reported.

Chrysler announced their move towards creating EV cars instead of traditional gas vehicles.
The auto company unveiled a new electric vehicle concept at the New York Auto Show last year, called the Airflow EV.
Chrysler’s CEO, Christine Feuell, revealed that a new model would be available in two years, according to Auto Week.
"What we intend to launch in 2025 is certainly inspired by the Airflow, but not the Airflow in its exact form," Feuell said.
