The Chrysler Crossfire is one of the most exciting fast cars that Chrysler has offered the supercar automobile market. Launched in 2003, the Crossfire sport coupe became the corona for the brand.

When it was launched in 2003, its mechanical features were derived from the Mercedes Benz SLK super fast car roadster. However, the Crossfire hot fast cars were presented with a more broad shoulder hardtop.
