Never seen it in real life production cars. That image is in early DaimlerChrysler Crossfire marketing material including image CD's. Copied by toy manufacturers. If you look at the headlights and grill area it's not correct, but good enough for an advertisement. It's computer generated graphic edits maybe starting with an SLK.
I find this engine cover/airbox on several of the early on reports/reviews of the production Crossfire. But Chrysler apparently chose to have a version for the final production car that did not resemble anything that looked like the M-B engine cover/airbox. And the version on our cars most likely was much cheaper to manufacture. It's really too bad!
I think that photo might be the production prototype car. IIRC, in the photos I've seen of it, it's SSB with a Cedar interior, often with Euro plates. The interior in particular (which might be the same as that shown below as a disembodied styling buck) is clearly different from what actually became production - brighter silver color (nicer looking, but probably a reflective PITA), carbon fiber instrument panel rim, and different switchgear, radio, vents, steering wheel trim, etc. Although I'm not certain, this may be an underhood photo of that car. It's very close to the production car, but different enough to be pretty intriguing - for instance on the interior photo below there's another red button below the hazard light switch that replaced the start button of the original concept car. (Awesomely labelled simply, "Go!")

That picture IS NOT a car on the road. If you look closely (besides all the photoshop cutouts above the level of the dash), the fuse panel is missing, and the drivers footwell is all wrong.
And in the center console below the radio the bank of toggle switches plus the window switches astride the shifter are higher, brighter and more 'blingy'. I like it!
It makes me wonder if they are from another Chrysler and thus it's possible to avail ourselves of them.
