Chrysler Firepower

The Chrysler Firepower was a Dodge Viper-based concept car produced in 2005.

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 had a top speed of 174 mph.

The concept was once featured on the cover of Car and Driver.

The Firepower Concept was built to prove that Chrysler could indeed build a hybrid car using existing hardware.

Signs early in 2006 pointed to the Firepower going into production using the same hardware as the concept,[1][2] but later that year Chrysler officially announced that the Firepower would not be produced, as they could not find a viable way of doing so.
