Chrysler Town and Country EV with 255 HP Hybrid Powertrain

In case you happened to overlook the discreet insignia, this is the Chrysler EV, one of three electric powered prototypes that were revealed today by Chrysler LLC. The other two vehicles were the Dodge Coupe EV and the Jeep Wrangler EV. Based on the Town and Country minivan, Chrysler's proposal utilizes the same hybrid system as the Jeep EV combining the electric-drive components of an Electric Vehicle with an integrated small-displacement engine and generator to produce additional energy to power the electric-drive system when needed. If you're thinking Chevy Volt you're absolutely right as GM’s forthcoming hybrid uses a similar in philosophy drivetrain. -Continued

In the Chrysler EV the electric motor produces an output of 190 kW or 255 HP and 350 Nm or 258 lb.-ft. of torque, providing 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) acceleration in approximately nine seconds. Just like the Wrangler EV, the Chrysler Town and Country EV can drive 40 miles on all-electric power, and boasts a range of 400 miles on approximately eight gallons or 31 liters of gasoline.

2009 VW Routan: Chrysler Based Minivan Coming to Chicago Show in February

Volkswagen announced that at the upcoming Chicago Show in February, it will show for the first time in public, a new minivan called the Routan. The midsize vehicle has been jointly developed with Chrysler LLC and it will be built in the Canadian Chrysler factory in Windsor, Ontario. When VW’s says “jointly-developed”, it means that the Routan is based on Chrysler’s Town and Country minivan. However, the German carmaker states that both the interior and the exterior of the 7-seater Routan will follow the company’s design concept. Hopefully, VW’s proposition won’t look like the photoshop we made… Picture: Carscoop

SEMA Show: Chrysler Town & Country Black Jack

Chrysler let out the first images of the 2008 Town & Country Black Jack ahead of the customized MPV’s SEMA Show premiere on October 30. The American carmaker insists that the Town & Country Black Jack draws its inspiration from the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. I happen to stay at the pyramid-themed Luxor Hotel in 2006 and honestly, I can’t say that I see any resemblance, but whatev.

The Black Jack sits on one-off 20-in. wheels tucked around a set of Brembo SRT brakes and matched with an adjusted ride height. The van’s body is covered in a custom Amber-Black Pearl paint with the hood featuring a ghosted "Black Jack" decal while chrome accents complement the billet-style grill. Inside the Black Jack gets LED lighting, dual panoramic-style roof openings while a leather- wrapped curved bench replaces the third-row seats. -Continued after the jump

As you’d expect, the Town & Country Black Jack is equipped with a high-end entertainment system that features two KICKER 10-in. L7 sub woofers tied to a 1250-watt amplifier, two pairs of 6-in. speakers and a four-channel 700-4 amplifier combined with rear-mounted 37-in. LCD flat screen and two 7-in. overhead monitors. The latter are connected to three hidden overhead digital cameras so forget about cheating...
