2004 Chrysler Crossfire
Chrysler steps into 2004 armed with a new roadster, instantly placing
it in the same company as other manufacturing heavyweights. One of these
heavyweights is Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler's parent company and the partner
used to develop the brand-new Crossfire. The result is a two-door speedster
with a design influence from America and an engineering system honed in
Germany.
The 2004 Chrysler Crossfire is assembled in Germany, following the pattern
of Mercedes' SLK hardtop convertible. For the new Crossfire, Chrysler
also enlisted the help of Karmann, a German automotive manufacturer. Founded
in 1901, Karmann is one of the world's leading full-service suppliers
to the automotive industry. Stylish, smooth and powerful, the 2004 Chrysler
Crossfire is a car roadster enthusiasts should definitely consider.
Available Models
A new model created just 24 months after a concept version of the car
was revealed at the 2001 North American International Auto Show in Detroit,
the 2004 Chrysler Crossfire is offered in just one trim level for now.
Interior Features
The two-seater 2004 Chrysler Crossfire has a bundle of premium amenities
on the inside. Some of the standards included are leather upholstery,
heated bucket seats, power steering, air conditioning with dual-zone automatic
climate controls, a telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise
control, an 8-way power driver seat and a 4-way power passenger seat.
The Chrysler Crossfire is designed with people who like to crank up the
music in mind. To this end it comes with an Infinity Modulus audio system
with an AM/FM/CD player and a 240-watt digital amplifier. There are six
speakers, including dual subwoofers, to this setup, which is based on
Infinity's Modulus home theater surround sound system. The 2004 Crossfire
also features touring gear with three specially designed luggage carriers.
Exterior Features
The new 2004 Chrysler Crossfire is pretty cool looking, to put it mildly.
It has a long, lean front hood that flows into a compact, descending cockpit.
Big 18-inch alloy wheels are up front, with 19-inchers in the rear. The
Crossfire is also equipped with a rear spoiler that moves up and down
depending on the road speed.
Performance
The performance of the new Chrysler Crossfire is intended to stimulate
drivers in the same way its form does designers. Under the hood is a 3.2-liter
V6 engine with 215 horsepower at 5700 rpm and 229 lb-ft of torque at 3000
rpm. This engine is mated to an advanced six-speed manual transmission
or optional five-speed electronically-controlled adaptive automatic transmission
with AutoStick®. Like a number of other top-line roadsters out there,
the Crossfire utilizes a rear-wheel drive configuration.
The ride is both fast and smooth, thanks to independent double wishbone
front and rear suspension with coil springs and gas-charged shock absorbers.
Dual, center-mounted exhaust outlets are both functional and attractive,
while a precise steering system makes the Crossfire as nimble as a cat.
Safety and Security
Safety is a top priority of the 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. Antilock 4-wheel
disc brakes with brake assist are standard, as are an antiskid/traction
control system, a tire-pressure monitor and torso side airbags. Crossfire's
Electronic Stability Program integrates single brake application and throttle
intervention for yaw control and wheel spin control.
