Best of Gran Turismo 4 Pictures Vol. 1

Here are the best of my Gran Turismo 4 pictures, Vol. 1.

2004 DMC DeLorean S2

1988 Nissan Silvia K's (S13)

GT4 2005 Chrysler 300C

Today's car is the GT4 2005 Chrysler 300C.

The color is Cool Vanilla.

And the location is... yes, Times Square at night - one of the Photo Travel locations in GT4.

Times Square, N.Y., is the "center of Noo Yawk New York where 7th Avenue and Broadway meet, a major tourist and business center".

Winner of the prestigious North American Car of the Year award in 2005, the Chrysler 300 was one of those very rare cars that carried over all of its interesting looks and details from the concept show car directly to the production model.
Produced on the same LX platform as the Dodge Magnum, Challenger, and Charger models, 300 initially came in four trim levels: the base 300, 300 Touring, 300 Limited, and 300C. The base car was powered by a 187 HP 2.7-liter DOHC V-6, while the Touring and Limited models possessed a larger 247 HP 3.5-liter DOHC V-6. The performance-oriented 300C sported a potent 5.7-liter OHV Hemi V-8, which was not only powerful, it was also economical, thanks to its fuel-saving and emission-reducing cylinder deactivation technology. In low-road operations such as steady-state cruise, the engine would operate on only 4 cylinders instead of the full complement of 8. Then slightly after the 300's introduction came the ultimate 300 came later, the 6.1-liter Hemi V-8-powered SRT8.
A respectably-sized vehicle at 196.8 inches long and 74.0 inches wide, the 300's front fascia and overall design somewhat resembled that of the high-dollar Bentley Arnage from England. The car was also known for its robust build quality as many of its major components were shared with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of the day, the benefactor of the Daimler-Chrysler merger.

Oops, that's not the Chrysler - it's a Ford Crown Vic taxi below.

This is what Times Square must have looked like prior to 2004.

GT6 2005 Chrysler 300C

A 2005 Chrysler 300C.

Cool Vanilla.

A massive car, with lots of presence. However it is 1 mm short of 5,000 mm in length. So legally it's not even a full-size car (equal to, or over, 5,000 mm or 5 m in length)... but you wouldn't think it by looking at it.

It is also powerful, HEMI something or other.
