Chrysler FIREPOWER!
Sounds tough, looks great!
and yeah I'm whoring it up with the new concept cars today. http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/..._firepower.asp http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/07/firepower05_01.jpg http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/07/firepower05_06.jpg http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/07/f...er05_inter.jpg |
all i have to say is WOW!!! car is gorgeous interior is beautiful (eye catching)
so I guess chrysler is planning to have another performance car like the viper |
I think this is meant to be more of a GT rather than a balls to the wall sports car, but it does look great. Reminds me of the GR-1 concept from ford.
|
funky but cool. looks like a Bently
|
Let me tell you, DaimlerCh. has always known how to make good looking cars. The Viper is SOOO GOOD LOOKING and it has a monster under the hood. This new one, and yeah they want it to be more of a GT but be cheaper than the current Viper, looks a little funky but sexy either way.
|
wow, love the interior, gorgeous car
|
All the chrome inside makes me want to order a hamburger! Reminds me of an old 1950's diner. (I'm not that old.)
|
When I first saw it the first thing that came to mind was the Pantera. I really like it but I do think the hood needs to be toned down a bit.
|
Interior is a work of art. Back end (fenders and roof line) reminds me of the GR-1 concept.
|
Cool. It looks like DC is taking GM's strategy (take sports car platform, adapt for luxo GT use).
Actually now that I think of it, they had this idea like 10 years ago. The concept for a viper twin with a better interior, softer suspension, and auto transmission was called "Copperhead", IIRC. |
The silhouette reminds me of the old S30 240Z. The front grille needs a tweak. I know it's a trademark, but it doesn't belong here. Sorry.
|
That interior is art... wow.
|
Anyone check out those bitchin' LED foglights? Sweet. I also wanted to comment on the interior, in that it's really shiny, and Art Deco-like. shelleys_man_06 likes. :)

Too bad it got 'cancelled.' But it would appear chrysler is at it again... |
Seems like our sexy 8 is going to look old rather quickly with all these new designs coming out. I like the look of the 8 better then this one but it looks to be outdone in the looks dept. very soon with the looks of all these concepts.
|
it's a chrysler...hellloooooo
|
at first glance it reminded me of the Mercedes McClaren SLR
|
no one seems to have mentioned it yet... but don't u people think it looks sooo much like an auston martin?

How tacky. Chrysler has completely cloned a Viper.
http://www.naplesmotorsports.com/Sol...w%20Banner.JPG http://www.tristareng.com/062900/pics/VIPER.jpg Look familiar? Eventhe front of their car resembles a snake |
If that car was on the road right now pretty sure it would be a chick magnet.
|
Even though it does resemble the viper, I think it looks better.
The ME412 dieing really upsets me. I knew it was in for trouble as it's main backing on the board got voted out of the board in a corporate coup.. So sad.. |
did the ME412 die? I saw some show the other week where some chick was getting thrashed around on an autoX course in one/
|
yeah I saw that show also didn't the guy showing the car to the chick say its still in its development stages
|
the article posted above said the project was killed..
|
Other than the fact it has 2 doors and 4 wheels the Firepower looks nothing like a Viper...
|
Too much like the Crossfire for me!
|
I saw that at the DC auto show a few weeks ago - 24 inch wheels!!
|
the profile looks a lot like a Viper
|
I see all these beautiful sports cars but cant help wonder what the heck is Toyota doing we know Toyota has no plans to bring back the supra. This year I think is the last year for the mr2 and celica. Why has Toyota turn its head away from the sports car market? And that econobox scion tc is that thing suppose to be a sports car. :confused:

From the dashboard shot, it looks like this would have had a digital speedometer.
|
they should have made a Charger out of that instead of the Magnum. Then everyone would be all "Mustang what?".
|
Beautiful car, especially the interior!
But to be honest, I'm starting to get tired of all the retro design. I don't know why, but it's becoming too much, especially from american car makers (if you consider Chrysler 100% american, that is - this prototype could be based on a Mercedes platform as well, being the SL version of the Crossfire SLK conversion). I mean, this is a really, really, really nice car, but could be please have something else then "back to the sixties" in the near future? Toyota Volta was concept I liked. |
no steering wheel controls? WEAK! and there needs to be a manual version
|
Take a look at the second picture of the car -- the rear.
Now imagine the car saying "do these pants make my butt look big." |
Since we're all soon to be banned for mentioning the x-fire, we're going to need another Chrysler product that embodies the passion of this forum. The Firepower could just be that car and rumors have it coming to production after all.

No offense directed to anyone that adores the design of the Firepower, but am I the only one who thinks this is a blatant copy of the Viper. Is originality dead nowadays?
|
lol. read the thread. lotsa people think it looks like a viper..
either way, they should've made the ME412 and not this piece. nice thread resurrection anyway. |
Im not a fan of the rims.....or the auto....other wise....cool!
|
man how old is this? I can remember reading about this car in C&D prob. I think almost 3 years ago. It's basically a detuned viper in drag, big whoop.
And the "!" was a misprint in the name. |
hmm it looks like a Ferrari F430 :)
|
Jebus! Would you like a little interior with your bling? That thing is hideous AND it's a frickin' Chrystler.
|
looks like a penis....
|
looks like a saturn sky and and a crossfire mixed
|
not my style...
|
It even rhymes with Crossfire.
|
Looks like it wants to be a.... Super car?
I'll pass. |
The Crysler ME-12 weighs only 2888 with 850 horses at the crank
my goodness can you imagine it with a 3 rotor turbocharged to 800 at the wheels?!!!! it would weigh what 2650? |
it looks like a bastardized version of the kabura
