Chrysler Group announced today that a new model — the 2007 Chrysler 300 Long Wheelbase — will be on display at the New York International Auto Show, in the Jacob K. Javits Center, April 14-23 in New York City. The Chrysler 300 Long Wheelbase is six inches longer than the current models, providing more than 46 inches of rear legroom and an additional 10.2 cubic feet of interior space. Available this fall, the lengthier Chrysler 300 is expected to attract sales from the livery/limousine industry, as well as retail customers.

Both the 300 Touring and 300C Long Wheelbase models can be ordered with unique, personalized features, including lighted rear writing tables, two 12-volt power ports for computers/cell phones, footrests, lighted vanity mirrors and directional reading lights for rear passengers, and available custom paint colors or pinstriping.
The Chrysler 300 Touring Long Wheelbase model will be equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, providing 250 hp, more than some domestic V-8 competitors. The 300C Long Wheelbase will have the 5.7-liter V-8 HEMI engine, generating 340 hp, and the Multi-Displacement System (MDS), which seamlessly reduces the number of cylinders from eight to four when less power is required, improving fuel economy.
The 300 Long Wheelbase will be modified by Accubuilt, a leading custom specialty vehicle manufacturer with more than 128 years of experience, based in Lima, Ohio, and will be sold through Chrysler dealerships.
Pricing and production information will be provided closer to launch this fall.

I’d say the proportions look a bit off, but that’s what I thought about the regular-length 300 as well.

Which is too bad, because in my experience, luxury sedans tend to look better in the long wheelbase versions. I was hoping it would come out better.

It needs bigger wheels and perhaps more chrome on the sides, like the top model versions of the regular wheelbase version. Is this a near-base model? It doesn’t even look as fancy.

Yeah, in the V8 trim I do think it’d look better, but …. well I can’t complain it’s an American car smart enough to have RWD. Overweight though.

That rear seat space looks a bit featureless… big, and nothing much to look at. If it’s a limo, shouldn’t it look enjoyable from the rear sear?

I think the bigger wheels of the C model will improve the look – or better still, the big rims on the SRT8. Dark tints and a chrome rub strip on the doors would help too.

I wonder if there is a market for the SRT version in the LWB…

They made a major mistake for those studio photos, in my opinion…they must have used the Touring model for those stretch versions, since that’s the one that comes with the smaller wheels shown in the pics…they would have looked better with the larger 300C or better yet, SRT8 wheels. At least for publicity purposes.

It is now fall, and I just got off the Chrysler website. There is nary a word to be found on the pricing of the long wheelbase 300.

“Chrysler 300 is expected to attract sales from the livery/limousine industry, as well as retail customers.”
It will surely attract them to buy one for their fleet. I love renting limos for any special occasions, and I would surely rent one for any business trips or tours with my business colleagues. What I would surely like from the LWB its the comfort one will experience…ample legroom and other added state of the art limo features.
