The Chrysler Firepower was a Dodge Viper-based concept car produced in 2005. It takes some of the styling cues from the Chrysler Crossfire. According to Chrysler, its 6.1 L Hemi V8 engine produced 425 hp (317 kW) and could propel the vehicle to a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 174 mph. The concept was once featured on the cover of Car and Driver.
Designers responsible for the design were Brian Nielander (exterior), who also worked on the ME-412 concept; and Greg Howell (interior).
