Again, officials say there are no production plans, but envision the car, which is reminiscent of Ford’s Shelby GR-1 concept, occupying the space between the Crossfire and (in theory) the ME412 in Chrysler’s performance portfolio. Though the car is Viper-based—and Creed referenced Chevrolet’s Corvette as a key competitor (again, in theory)—the designers envision “Firepower” as more grand tourer than outright sports car; hence the softened suspension and five-speed automatic transmission. Brakes are 14-inch Brembos at all four corners, and the huge rubber measures 275/35 R19 up front, 335/30 R20 in back. Engineers estimate the car is capable of bolting from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds or less, and a 185 mph top speed. Whether either car ever meets a production line, Chrysler has produced two concepts that would fill obvious holes in both Jeep’s and its own product lineup; don’t be surprised to see executives keeping careful watch on public reaction at Detroit in January.
