More info: CHRYSLER FIREPOWER - CONCEPT
Chrysler brand standards of elegance, refinement and affordability are executed with precision and passion in the Firepower "grand tourer" concept. Powered by a 425bhp 6.1-litre HEMI® V-8, the concept is based on the Dodge SRT-10 but with an uprated suspension, it is rooted in a feeling of luxury and performance through sleek design and precise engineering.
The Firepower pushes beyond the "sports car" realm by blending expressive detail and engineering. The two-seater concept features a tinted glass roof that extends to the rear liftgate, allowing driver and passenger an enhanced feeling of spaciousness.
The HEMI engine, which uses aluminium cylinder heads with hemispherical combustion chambers for outstanding airflow leading to higher power and torque, produces 420 lb ft of torque has an estimated 0-62mph time of less than 4.5 seconds and a 174mph estimated top speed.

IMHO - Where the Crossfire was the US equivalent of SLK (although the SLK is popular there), the Firepower looks like a contender to go up against today's Corvettes and Vipers. I quite like it. Looks like you have a really nice driving position. Lets hope they produce it.
