IN ESSENCE A MERCEDES-BENZ SL320 BY ANOTHER NAME. HOWEVER, AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE ! AND, A SCULPTURED ART DECO INSPIRED FUTURE CLASSIC COUPE.
THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE FASTBACK COUPE IS A REAR-WHEEL DRIVE, TWO-SEAT SPORTS CAR, MARKETED BY CHRYSLER AND MANUFACTURED BY CARMANN OF GERMANY FOR THE 2004 THROUGH TO THE 2008 MODEL YEARS. THE CAR WAS DEVELOPED DURING THE PERIOD WHEN CHRYSLER AND MERCEDES-BENZ HAD MERGED, KNOWN AS DAIMLER CHRYSLER. THE TWO SEATER USES THE MERCEDES-BENZ R170 PLATFORM AND SHARES 80% OF ITS COMPONENTS FROM THE MERCEDES-BENZ. THE PLATFORM WAS ESSENTIALLY HANDED DOWN TO CHRYSLER FOR THE CROSSFIRE. HAVING INITIALLY ARRIVED IN 2001 AS A CONCEPT CAR STYLED BY ERIC STODART, THE CHRYSLER WAS FURTHER REFINED BY ANDREW DYSON BEFORE PRODUCTION BEGAN IN 2003 FOR THE 2004 MODEL YEAR.
THE NAME "CROSSFIRE" REFERS TO TWO CHARACTER LINES WHICH RUN FROM FRONT TO REAR ALONG THE BODY SIDES, PROMINENTLY CROSSING BELOW THE MIRRORS ON THE DOOR PANELS. CONCEIVED DURING THE PERIOD OF DAIMLER CHRYSLER, THE NAME ALSO REFERS TO THE COLLABORATION OF THE TWO COMPANIES. THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONCEPT CAR WAS INTRODUCED AT THE 2001 NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW AND THEREAFTER THE PRODUCTION VERSION WAS UNVEILED AT THE 2002 LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW AS A 2004 MODEL "THE CAR IS AS FAITHFUL A TRANSFORMATION FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION AS ANY IN RECENT MEMORY". THE CONCEPT CAR WAS DESIGNED "TO EVOKE A STRONG, PASSIONATE, EMOTIONAL RESPONSE". THE CROSSFIRE POLARIZED IT'S AUDIENCE AT THE LA SHOW.
CONCEIVED AS A TWO-SEAT HALO CAR FOR THE CHRYSLER BRAND, THE MARKETING OBJECTIVE WAS ALWAYS TO MAKE USE OF AVAILABLE COMPONENTS USING A TWO-SEAT ROADSTER CHASSIS. THE PRODUCTION CAR SHARES A GREAT MANY OF ITS PARTS WITH MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES AND CHRYSLER DEALERS WERE REQUIRED TO INVEST IN SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, AND PARTS TO BE ABLE TO MARKET THE NEW LUXURY MODEL. THE REAR-DRIVE CROSSFIRE FASTBACK COUPE STYLING OBJECTIVE WAS FOR A "UNIQUE, ALMOST SCULPTURAL DESIGN". THE CROSSFIRE'S STYLING INCLUDES A WIDE STANCE WITH 19-INCH REAR WHEELS AND 18-INCH FRONT WHEELS.
CHRYSLER SAID THE CROSSFIRE TOOK INSPIRATION FROM THE 1930s ART DECO PERIOD AND BUILDINGS SUCH AS THE CHRYSLER BUILDING. "MOTOR TREND" CITES VEHICLE INFLUENCES FROM THE 1930'S INCLUDING BUGATTI'S AND THE TALBOT LAGO. CHRYSLER WANTED TO ONCE AGAIN OFFER A PERFORMANCE COUPE REMINISCENT OF THE LUXURY REPUTATION THEY ENJOYED DURING THE LATE 1950'S TO MID-1960S WITH THE CHRYSLER 300 LETTER SERIES COUPES AND CONVERTIBLES.
