April 23, 2012 , Beijing - Today, the Chrysler brand announced its return to the China market at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition. To commemorate this important occasion, Chrysler unveiled the 2012 Chrysler 300C Ruyi Design Concept Car, a vehicle based on the innovative Chrysler 300C sedan and catering to the tastes of Chinese customers.
Chrysler has brought to the 2012 Beijing Motor Show a special version of its 300C sedan that will be released on the Chinese market only, the 2012 Chrysler 300C Ruyi Design Concept Car. In order to celebrate the return of the American manufacturer on the Asian markets, the 300C has been painted with a special Maximum Steel black color that emphasizes the elegance of the model without affecting its athletic looks. Chrysler said the 2012 Chrysler 300C Ruyi Design Concept Car was inspired by traditional Chinese symbols for authority, prosperity and good luck. A ruyi (the name means "as one wishes") typically is a curved decorative object exemplifying beautiful design and precious materials.
