Chrysler to unveil super sports car at Detroit auto show



Chrysler Group revealed sketches of two concept vehicles it plans to reveal at the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.

The Chrysler Concept, code named Firepower, represents the image of the Chrysler brand - "standards of elegance, refinement and affordability are executed with precision and passion." This grand tourer concept is powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI V8 and is based on the Dodge Viper. The Chrysler-branded concept 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 Jeep Gladiator is a lifestyle pick-up with all the capability of the Wrangler. It is a statement of Jeep brand heritage, featuring the historic box side-mounted spare of past models. This Flexible Utility Truck, featuring an open-air canvas top, an expandable truck bed and a stow-away rear-seat cushion, has a rugged functionality

The Firepower reminds me of a viper profile with Crossfire styling cues. Obviously something based on the Viper will be pricey, but the 6.1 Hemi is no where near as exotic as the Viper's 8.3 V10, so that should bring prices down.

I agree with Jeff, I don't really like the GR-1 that much. I really liked the Shelby Cobra concept a lot better.
