Chrysler Crossfire: Across the Atlantic Prt1

Synergetic effect - is coherence between the parts of the system. The fruit of such interaction between the parts of a large corporation can truly be called Chrysler Crossfire.

Across the Atlantic

New Concept 2-seater coupe from Chrysler was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in 2001, and already in 2003 with minimal modifications the car went into the series. Developed by Chrysler design center in Michigan and manufactured in Germany's car makers to immediately thrown into the crucible of competition from more than worthy rivals - Nissan 350Z and Audi TT. Given the current market conditions, the company offered to customers on both sides of the Atlantic car in which those and others will find "their native".
On the podium car looked bigger than when he appeared before us. Coupe Crossfire - a rare combination of American "gigantism" and popular in the 30 years of the last century, European-style art deco. The U.S. is, of course, prevails. Should look at the huge hood, large headlights with two "guns" and the imposing grille, as becomes clear on what a poet of the subconscious decided to play designers. Quite simply, because Americans revere their car culture as well as the flag of the country, their enormous coupe early 70's - the object of worship. Moreover, such a fine job with the emotions of the potential client can disguise the "donor" units Crossfire - Mercedes-Benz SLK 320. It is absolutely a win-win move! In the design of a new car emphasis on details and attributes, whether chrome windshield frame, or "gills" on the front fenders. In really huge wheel arches - shestispitsevye wheels, 18-inch front, 19-inch rear, shod "in season tires Continental. The roof line with a spectacular "backbone" in accordance with the ideology of the car smoothly falls to the rear bumper, making the Crossfire like classic Bugatti and Talbot Lago. Visitors from the past looks and door luggage, which is hidden inside the spoiler - it warms the hearts of romantics road, yet have forgotten what they were cars "golden age". Only dual exhaust pipe and modern "feed" lighting us back to the XXI century, where romance often sacrificed to pragmatism.
The car in sports is low, it is almost "lies" on the pavement, so even through a wide door to enter it not so easy, especially for a man is tall.
Beauty is small but designed in such a way that both passenger Crossfire receive a maximum of comfort, albeit in rather cramped conditions. The seats are indeed reminiscent of sport buckets, in fact are not, they have decorative lateral support and absolutely "civil" pillow. Driver's seat has eight elektroregulirovok, but the node control were located in a place that adjust the seat under him had to open the door, or hand simply not fit between the cushion and the door. This cozy, despite the fact that the texture of plastic is far from perfect, and leather upholstery, "American style" tough. Front panel divides into two zones: the center console, finished in the plastic under the metal on it - mersedesovsky control unit air conditioning, radio Infiniti and function keys.
Convenient, almost sports steering wheel made of soft plastic with a big button signal is governed only by the departure. Dials on the instrument panel of three: speedometer, obviously overloaded extra "graphics", tachometer and combined into a single "ring" standard sensors.
Strangely, the feeling of finality "plot" does not arise, many times we have seen the strange process of free exchange of interior details within a large corporation. Perhaps, in financial terms is justified, but in terms of emotional perception seems somehow sad.
On the other hand, the American car immediately "explains" the driver, why do you need and what kind of work closer to him, otherwise the trunk would have been bigger, and visibility back not be puzzled. "Environment" Crossfire - free direct route.
