Model overview

The Chrysler Crossfire is a two-seat, rear-wheel drive, sports vehicle that was marketed by Chrysler and produced by Karmann of Germany for the 2004 through 2008 model years.

Produced during the association of Daimler and Chrysler, the car is based on the Mercedes-Benz R170 platform which shares 80% of its parts with the prime generation SLK. The second-generation SLK was made on a new R171 platform beginning in the 2005 model year; the R170 platform remained in use for Chrysler in making the Crossfire. The title "Crossfire" refers to the two figure lines that roll from front to rear along the body sides but also refer to the collaboration of the two makers.

The last 2008 Chrysler Crossfire is equipped by a 3.2-liter V6 engine that delivers 215 hp and 229 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. It can be paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic with manual mode.
