Chrysler is toying around with the concept of building a vehicle that may go where no Chrysler moniker has gone before it : on the raceway. Sure, there were stock Newports and Cordobas that have been raced, but nothing that was “pure race material” has ever worn a Chrysler label. Dodge yes, but Chrysler no. That can all change if the Firepower is built. Read on and let’s examine what this hot looking auto is all about.

The U.S. auto shows throughout 2005 featured a number of great looking concepts. One of the vehicles, a Chrysler Firepower, drew robust interest from visitors. Based on this consumer interest, the Firepower may go from concept to developing project if many DaimlerChrysler officers have their way.

Borrowing heavily from the Dodge Rattlesnake sport auto, the Firepower concept has the Corvette in its crosshairs. In fact, the Firepower is probably going to be a more luxurious version of the Rattlesnake , borrowing its engine, transmission, and whole platform. As you know, the Viper also competes with the Corvette.

Depending on which schematics Chrysler makes a decision to go with, the body itself may only be a little different from the Snake . However, the concept car obviously shows that the Firepower has its own skin, so it has still to be seen what the final mock up of the production version will look like.

Like the Viper, V10 power with 500+ horsepower Will probably be standard with the Firepower. Beyond that, look for leather everything, a complicated navigation and sound system, and real wood trim. Hey, for $80,000 you better get the genuine stuff!

We won’t know until this Spring whether the Firepower will see the light of day. DCX may decide that the Firepower could thieve more sales from the Viper than the Vette, resulting in the project being cancelled. Still, if the right design is selected the Firepower would hold its own in a competitive market and enhance the Viper not compete against it.
