Chrysler Imperial Concept 2006

The new Chrysler Imperial is a concept based on a very representative car of the history of Chrysler. Born in the 1930s and consecrated for several decades, it always stood out for being a car with a level of aesthetic elegance, a lot of comfort, good performance and state-of-the-art technology. The recently introduced Imperal Concept enjoys all these attributes, just like its ancestors.

Amid a galloping hysteria unleashed in the US by reviving old glories and a climate of nostalgia successfully selling cars, Chrysler is introducing concept cars that revive highly successful cars in their past, such as the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Challenger and now the Imperial.

“The 2006 Detroit Motor Show looked like a museum of old cars redrawn... “

On the platform of the Chrysler 300 was built a huge luxury sedan with a large V8 under the hood. With very rough and uncreative lines, the Chrysler Imperial catches the eye of anyone with its inflated, grotesque look and immense 22-inch wheels. Other crucial details in the image of a car, such as lights and grille, highlight the opulent character of this sedan, both for its oversize and impressive cut.

To keep the car faithful to the models of yesteryear, it had to maintain its habitability and interior comfort. To this end, the designers decided to remove the parante between the doors (the so-called B-pillar). It was also opted for a reverse opening system in the rear doors, allowing a more comfortable and spacious entry into the car. Added to this is a raised roof that ensures more real space, more sense of larger passenger compartment size.

The interior of the Imperial was handmade with elements always associated with luxury, such as leather and wood, combined with very good taste, with aluminium. The interior, with LED lighting system, is really the most elegant thing in this huge car.
