Chrysler Crossfire

Technical Specs
Standard Engine 3.2L V6
Standard Transmission 6 Speed Manual
Cylinders 6
Horsepower @ RPM 215@5700
Torque @ RPM 229@3000 (foot-lbs)

The Crossfire is Chrysler’s two-seat sports coupe and roadster that is produced in Germany in conjunction with longtime DaimlerChrysler partner Karmann. The Crossfire is one of the vehicle that has earned the Chrysler Group a reputation for taking concept cars and turning them into production vehicles with very little of the original concept lost in the process
Occupants sit low in the car, which has a bright, upscale, retro-style sporty interior. The bucket seats are very supportive, gauges can be quickly read and controls work precisely. The cockpit is roomy despite an oversized center console that holds an awkwardly designed cupholder. Curiously, it's the only cupholder in the car.

Inside Line: D-Rod: Promoting Detroit Muscle -

Inside Line: D-Rod: Promoting Detroit Muscle -: "HOLLY, Michigan — The upcoming Autorama show, the annual edition of Detroit's long-running hot-rod extravaganza, will showcase yet another '32 Ford re-creation, this one dubbed D-Rod and intended to promote the city's image and 'rebrand Detroit.'

The D-Rod is the brainchild of the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau, which commissioned a local builder, Detroit Muscle, to construct the vehicle. The bureau wants to promote Detroit as 'a leisure and meeting destination.'

Curiously, the D-Rod is a mix of Detroit-based hardware. Under the Deuce-like skin, the car boasts a Chrysler 392 Hemi crate engine mated to a Chrysler 518 four-speed automatic transmission. The bureau said it chose the classic '32 Ford partly to commemorate the car's 75th anniversary."
