developers Crossfire during their work remembered that the new automobile must be pleased as to the Americans, who value comfort, luxury and high-powered engine, so also to the Europeans, for whom enormous value has outstanding controllability at any speeds. It is not thus far yet clear, it did be possible this to attain entirely, but, on the statements of designers, Chrysler Crossfire will compete not only with Mercedes SLK, but also with Audi TT and BMW Z3.

Design Crossfire is more than original, which will make it possible it to entangle not with what other automobile. First of all, into the eyes rushes lengthened along the length the automobile of unique "ridge", which divides into two parts windshield. In the beginning of century such glass sufficiently widely were used, and then they were called V- descriptive. They used in essence because strong large glass yet did not know how to make and were used two small. And here now on the wave of the popularity of the style "retro" they decided to return, also, to the V- descriptive glass. The solution sufficiently questionable, especially in the plan of safety, indeed additional obstacle, although small, nevertheless mixes visibility.

If we glance at the automobile on the side, then it is possible to see that Crossfire is made in the style classical for the sport sleeping compartment - powerful cowling, moved back the salon and enormous air ducts on the sidewalls, which visually even more strongly lengthen cowling.

V salon also be sufficient avant-gardism, mixed at times 30-40 it is annual. For example, pedals are made oval as 70 years ago, but in the modern manner they can be regulated under each concrete driver. Before the passenger is located the semicircular liquid-crystal screen, which is called EVIC ("information electronic center"). It is capable not simple to issue indications about the maximum speed or the fuel consumption, but also to compare several data between themselves. It is possible several times to pass one and the same distance (for example, from the house to the work) and then to compare data, which will be reflected both in the absolute numbers and in the form of graph.

Chrysler Crossfire will be positioned on the market, it is not simple as sleeping compartment, but as the sport sleeping compartment, intended for obtaining the pleasure from the ride on the high speed. This it is possible to judge at least because into the base equipment of all automobiles will enter... two racing helmets! They are stored in the baggage carrier, whose volume, by the way, is sufficiently small. As far as engine is concerned, it entirely neplokh. For engineers it was possible to attain power in 275 hp possibly with a volume of 2,7 liters, up to the moment of series production in Crossfire they will establish more powerful motor, since in the list of the basic competitors of this automobile counts BMW Z3, which has at its disposal an engine with a volume of 3,2 liters with the power of 321 hp.

About the dynamic indices Crossfire to speak is thus far complicated, indeed tests were passed thus far only concept- penalties. It showed the maximum speed into 238 km/h, and acceleration 0-100 km/h engaged 5,8 seconds.

Are produced Chrysler Crossfire will be not in THE USA, but in Germany in enterprise Karmann, which specializes in the release by small series of the diverse versions of series automobiles, in particular cabriolets.
