The 2007 Crossfire was a great mix of an American design combined with pure German engineering from Karmann.
The 2007 model was available as a coupe or a roadster and shared most of the Mercedes-Benz’s SLK underpinnings.

Design wise, the Crossfire was a real head turner, with its distinctive and dynamic lines.

The Crossfire was offered in two trim levels: base and Limited. For 2007, the SRT-6 trim was dropped.

The base model featured 18-inch wheels in the front and 19-inch wheels at the rear, air conditioning and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, while the Limited trim level added power-adjustable heated leather seats and an upgraded 8-speaker audio system.

The Crossfire was driven by a 3.2-liter V6 engine that developed 215 hp and 229 pound-feet of torque. The power was sent to the rear wheels through either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic gearbox that was available with the Limited trim level.

The sports car would reach 100 kph in a little over 7 seconds.

Safety wise, the Crossfire was equipped with antilock brakes with brake assist, traction control, stability control and side airbags.

The interior of the Crossfire would have been extremely familiar for the ones who know how the SLK looked like.

The Crossfire’s competitors at the time were the BMW Z4 which was more expensive and the Nissan 350Z that featured a larger engine which produced 300 hp.
