Chrysler has revealed numerous photos of its new 300 sedan ahead of its official reveal at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

The pics are actually a series of close-up teasers, meaning that while you can’t see what the entire vehicle will look like, it shouldn’t be hard if you have an imagination. After all, the 2011 300 sedan isn’t a totally new vehicle, but is just one of numerous refreshed platforms for the 2011 season – a list that includes the Town & Country minivan, as well as numerous Dodge products like the Journey, Grand Caravan and Avenger.

Along with redesigned headlights, taillights, a new trunk design and a new grille the 2011 300 will come with a new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 under the hood, making close to 300-hp and 260 ft-lbs of torque. Also expect a 5.7-liter Hemi V8-powered model using cylinder deactivation to improve fuel economy. Both RWD and AWD versions will be available.
