With a totally redesigned body and interior? Imported from Germany and it's still 10k less than the same model year SLK320?



I work for DCX in Auburn Hills. The Firepower is on a Viper platform with a tuned Hemi with 450 hp and way more road manners and ammenites than the Viper. A Viper SRT10 stickers for 85K base...if you think the Firepower would come out at 50k you're dreaming. Its a concept car, if it came out at 50k it would not have the specs of the prototype.
