Chrysler Firepower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chrysler Firepower was a Dodge Viper based concept car DaimlerChrysler produced under the Chrysler brand. The Firepower's engine was a 6.1 L Hemi V8. According to Chrysler, this engine produced 425hp and could propel the vehicle to a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds. It was once featured on the cover of Car and Driver, but on that cover its name ended with an exclamation point.
The Firepower is featured in Xbox 360 games as a download for Project Gotham Racing 3 and is also available in Test Drive Unlimited.
The Firepower Concept was originally built to prove that Chrysler could indeed build a sports car using existing hardware. Signs earlier in the year pointed to the Firepower going into production using the same hardware as the concept [1] [2], however Chrysler has now officially announced that the Firepower will not be produced, as Chrysler could not find a viable way in which to produce the car [3].
