2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster
Sculpted Design
“Our new 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster
captures the spirit of the Crossfire coupe,” said Trevor Creed, Senior
Vice President, Design, Chrysler Group. “We use sport bars and tonneau
cover fairings to give Crossfire Roadster even more of an aerodynamic
appearance.”
Crossfire Roadster’s rear view is stunning with a tapered, “boat tail”
appearance that emphasizes the sports car’s mammoth rear wheels.
A retractable spoiler is designed into the rear of the vehicle and
activates when the car reaches 60 miles per hour. The center
high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) runs the width of the deployable rear
spoiler. Seam lines on the cloth top flow with and complement Roadster’s
rear “boat tail” lines.
To achieve even more of a dynamic appearance, satin silver painted sport
bars appear just behind the driver and passenger seats. Two
race-inspired fairings integrated into the top of the tonneau cover
complete the dynamic appearance of the sports car.
With its long hood and fast back, Chrysler Crossfire Roadster’s side
view is instantly recognizable. The car’s broad shoulders envelop
19-inch rear wheels. Front wheels measure 18 inches. With larger wheels
in back, the side profile has a poised stance.
The sculptured hood prominently showcases Chrysler’s new signature
winged badge which spans the entire upper width of the chrome grille.
Six grooves run the length of hood and complement the front grille.
From plan view, a center spine runs the length of the car and provides a
chiseled, carved appearance. The line starts at the front grille and
concludes at the dual exhaust tips.
