Many of you may have already seen this (from a link on the UK site) but have a look at some of the Chrysler and Dodge concept cars throughout the years.

Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep concept cars

Such a bloody shame that the Crossfire's big brother never went into production: the Firepower.

Enjoy.

 

I was sooooooooooo chompin' at the bit for the Firepower too !

 

I never heard of or seen that firepower, and always thought my black roaster was the most beautiful car (non-exotic)but that Firepower is Oh my God Stunning. What a Gorgeous car, thanks for the link.

 

Just saw this beauty last month in the Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, Michigan.....

 

This is how I would have liked to see the back end of the Cross, a bit lengthened and flatter. This was one gorgeous design, and they made a real mistake not going there, but then again i suspect they saw the handwriting on the wall re; the economics of everything.

having said that, if I had any bodyshop and sheet metal skills, or customizing ability, I would start trying to make integrative body panels out of fiberglass that would reshape my cross, just for real fun, that dropped this look.

 

That is sweet! Good thing they didn't make it, because then i would have had to made a choice. I wonder how it would look with a rag top???????

 

I love everything about that car. The hood is awesome. Those wheels would look nice on the XFire also.

 

I completely agree. The Firepower concept was beautiful, but what really got me excited about this car was the Viper chassis and suspension with a 6.1L Hemi. The new 5.7L and 6.1L Hemi's are fantastic motors, and I really enjoy my Magnum R/T with the 5.7L. I have yet to drive a SRT-6 crossfire to compare it to good old American muscle, but I would think the Firepower would be a "more fun" car (more fun meaning easier to remove license from wallet).

Another car I wish was made was the Dodge Razor. A RWD 2 seater with the 2.4L turbo from the SRT-4.....all for under 20 grand!

 

Everytime I see the FirePower Concept, it reminds me of this.
1966 American Motors AMX - Concepts
Mostly its just the color and the rear 1/4 panel design I guess.
But that windshield (with its "spine" belongs on our Crossfires)

 

The last I had heard about the Firepower was that Chrysler couldn't figure out a way to mass produce the vehicle efficiently. Oh logistics. It was considered for production for quite a while. Hopefully Fiat/Chrysler can start getting some cool concepts like this onto the auto show floor and get them into production.

Truly a beautiful vehicle. An Aston Martin for John Everyman.

Also, I see your Razor and raise you a Slingshot.



Yes, the engine would have been slow as hell but I like the design.
