From the original Press Release:

Design

Painstakingly crafted, the elegant and powerful Firepower concept is an example of automotive design and engineering within the reach of Chrysler brand customers.

Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Chrysler Group Design, said: “How could we best encompass such strong Chrysler models as the Crossfire, which began the brand’s move toward a higher level of performance and elegance, while looking to the most extreme expression of engineering and design such as last year’s prototype, the ME Four-Twelve? Firepower uniquely bridges these two worlds.”

The exterior is covered in Hydro Silver Pearl, with dark carbon fiber and polished aluminum accents.

In addition to embodying Chrysler grand tourer spirit in the exterior design, Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling was used to shape the body with aerodynamics in mind.

Design for proper engine cooling as well as down force in the rear are achieved through this modeling.

The interior color combination consists of Ocean Deep Blue as a primary hue, with Oyster leather and Behr maple accents.

Finely trimmed leather-covered sport seats, automatic climate control and a premium audio system provide a tasteful and purposeful interior environment.

All touch surfaces – steering wheel, control knobs, and shifter – are finished with fine materials for a luxury feel.

“The Firepower concept embodies the Chrysler brand philosophy,” said Creed.

“It provides luxury, refinement and sophistication blended elegantly with passion and performance.”
