Damn that's sexy, but come on Chrysler... that's a mighty fine Aston Martin you got there.

 

the side profile is odd looking, esp the headlights. everything else is juicy.

 

Sex on wheels.....sex on wheels.

 

Hey, at least they're copying one of the nicest looking cars out there. It looks hot!

 

Any info?

 

Chrysler's Firepower is based on the V10 Viper’s architecture but uses the 6.1-liter, 425 hp, 420-lb-ft Hemi V8 that will see first light in the forthcoming 300C SRT-8. Officials say there are no production plans, but envision the car occupying the space between the Crossfire and (in theory) the ME412 in Chrysler’s performance portfolio.

thats what is listed on the link

I really dont know what to say about this car. I like how it looks differant than other cars on the road, but that hood (front half) is way too long. The only problem I see is if you shorten the hood, all you have is the next generation Crossfire.

 

look at the intake on it! no wonder they got over 400hp out of it

Very nice

 

I think it looks hot. More exciting than anything we can get from GM - sans corvette. Some will argue this is even hotter looking than the vette.

 

If this is built to be a real Corvette-fighter, I assume the Crossfire would bow out. I think the choice is clear between a $40,000+ Crossfire SRT-6 and a $43,000 Firepower with a 90 HP advantage.

It is truly amazing that neither Chrysler or Ford ever wanted to play a heads-up game against Corvette. Now it could get interesting.

 

Thank you, my non observant-challenged friend

 

Ditto that! That thing sure looks nice!!!

GM copies PT Cruiser while Chrysler copies Aston Martin.

To expand on this, I think this is a concept to showcase where Chrysler is going with Crossfire. I wager Crossfire gets restyled and looks a fair bit like this, albiet with tamer engines, and an SRT-8 option. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

A 2 passenger, $50,000 sports car?

 

I wouldn't bet on that.

Like the Ford GT, the Crossfire is going to be in production only a specific amount of time before something else comes along.

This may end up eventially being a Crossfire replacement, but I wouldn't bet a beer on it being the next Crossfire.
