Chrysler 300C news - Stretched Chrysler 300C on show - 2006

Admirers of the Chrysler 300C will have a little more to linger over, because the company has unveiled a long-wheelbase model at the New York Auto Show.

A full 150mm, or 6in, longer than the standard 300C, all of the extra length goes into the rear passenger compartment.

The lengthening work is carried out by Accubuilt, a specialist vehicle convertor based in Ohio.

However, all of the stretched 300Cs will be sold through official Chrysler dealerships.

The 300C Long Wheelbase can be bought with either the 3.5 V6 or 5.7 V8 engines.

Customers can choose from a list as long as the car itself to personalise the vehicle to their own limousine tastes, and there's even the option of having the paintwork pinstriped.

Sales start in the US in the autumn, but Chrysler has not decided yet whether or not to bring the 300C Long Wheelbase to the UK.
