It's the Chrysler Firepower! (I'm not sure if there's supposed to be a question mark there or not). I saw it at the Detroit Auto Show, and it was pretty good looking. It was a little bulgy (almost cartoony), and it had a little too much chrome, but overall, it was a good looking car. And, with the 6.1 Hemi, it'll be fast (although until Chrysler mates it with a manual, it's more of a competitor for the XLR than the Corvette).

As for the Solstice, it's almost old news, given that it was supposed to hit showrooms in a month. I'm anticipating reading reviews of the finished car, to see how it competes with the Miata. The Solstice and Sky both look better than the 3g Miata, but that's not worth much if they're dissapointing behind the wheel (plus, they have to make up for having no trunk to speak of).

Why would Chrysler pit one of their cars against the other? That's just stupid.

i subscribe to Car&Driver. in the february issue the Firepower! was on the cover story.not to mention the new viper GTS aheh.anywho the Firepower was created just to be a cheaper choice than the viper.Altho the Firepower is estimated to have about 400BHP.Wait until you see the inside of the Firepower!.

Youll crap yourself at all the chrome inside of it.

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 12 Aug 2005, 23:14

425hp, actually, it uses the 6.1L Hemi out of the 300C SRT8.

But, yes, the interior is gorgeous.

(I wish I could say that was my picture, but all mine are from behind the barrier).

The new Ferrari dino

A successor to the popular 'entry-level' Ferrari 206/246 Dino of the late 1960s/early '70s is under development, reports independent enthusiasts' website italiaspeed.com. This will be in a similar spirit to the original - aimed specifically at the US market - and have a target price of around 100,000 euros. It will be positioned to compete against the likes of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Porsche 911 Carrera S.

Italiaspeed reports that the new Dino will have an all-new ultra-lightweight V6 engine, developing between 380bhp and 400bhp; this will also be used in the next-generation Maserati Coupe and Spyder, and could even feature in top-end Alfa Romeo models by the end of the decade. This engine will be mid-mounted in an aluminium spaceframe structure, developed by specialist firm Alcoa, which also worked on the bodies of the 360 Modena, F430 and 612 Scaglietti Ferraris. Styling will be by Pininfarina, and this is expected to take a gently retro theme reviving memories of the earlier Dino.

There have been further, and conflicting, reports that the new entry-level Ferrari will share a version of the 'Premium' Alfa 159/Brera platform with the next-generation Maserati Spyder; this so-called 'Project California' would produce an even cheaper Ferrari, though of course, these things are relative& However, Ferrari is said to be extremely concerned that such a model could devalue its brand, and the stand-alone Dino is the more likely outcome. A concept is expected to make its debut in 2007.
