Whether becomes Chrysler Crossfire competitor Audi TT and Porsche Boxster? Whether the American and European approaches to working out of cars will get on in one car? Behind answers we have gone to Germany. To combine in one model the design corresponding to the American automobile tradition, with achievements European Hi-Tech, to make such car whole and claimed worldwide - a problem uneasy. But there are trumps: the car which is not belonging till the end of any of civilisations, does not become ordinary wherever it has appeared. It is no wonder, that for mission performance have chosen a sport compartment. Buyers of cars of other classes can be and not in delight from excessive originality. The same who chooses the impractical double car, special attention to it will be pleasant. Back wheels “big” the size, than lobbies, a roundish voluminous stern and a predatory beak: canons of design of such cars are observed. Plus a small crest from forward to a back bumper through a cowl and a roof, big chromeplated chrysler “birds” and two basic lines onboard which find “focus” under a mirror, - all it provides recognition. Under a cowl - motor V6 in volume of 3,2 litres, the acquaintance on Mercedes-Benz C 320. Power - 215 h.p., dispersal to “hundred” - for 6,5 seconds. At Boxster, for comparison, figure comparable - 228 h.p. And 6,4 with. Representatives of firm promise excellent controllability. If it indeed so … However, no, we do not think, that here it is necessary to wait for a competition: too different image at marks. And here with Audi TT, not having such long cult float as Porsche, but also possessing close engineering characteristics, novelty Chrysler quite on forces to contend for liking of buyers. The car salon meets fine design, but inexpensive materials of furnish. Seats in all complete sets only “leather”, with small lateral support. The range of electric adjustments of armchairs is great, that will not tell about a steering column. At a choice of a “lying” pose, classical for drivers of such cars, enough longitudinal adjustment of a wheel: in this case the arrangement of all controls deserves only compliments. If you take in head drive on a twisting mountain path, it is necessary to raise a seat and to deliver a back above - for the best review but then the wheel will appear much more low concerning shoulders, and to operate car begins not too conveniently. Transmission can be both mechanical six-step, and automatic, with function of manual switching. “Mechanics” will approach those who aspires to realise all high-speed and “flight” potential of the car more. “Automatic machine” does a trip smoother and quiet, but completely not slow. It as a difference between flight by the private jet plane and on an educational fighter. Speeds are approximately equal, but sensations are absolutely unlike. Arguing on balance of the car not to be kept from praises: fine развесовка and successful selection of the sizes of splints have made the business. The car is neutral and predicted in all range of speeds. Tyre covers Michelin Pilot Sport of the second generation, working together with an excellent suspension, allow to develop very big lateral accelerations in turns. Much more serious lateral support at seats here would not prevent. We will note excellent work of the shock-absorbers which are not allowing the car to leave from a trajectory even at a meeting of wheels with defects of a covering. It is possible to name a comfortable range of speeds an interval from 0 to 200 km/h. At the further dispersal the car copes reliably enough for such speed, influence of aerodynamic elevating force however starts to affect. However, to reach the maximum 242 km/h on this car quite really for any driver. Crossfire - a worthy member of a clan of a sport compartment. The car is allocated by unique shape: in its design the American component, at the same time the hi-tech engine made under the European standards is perfectly felt, and good adjustment of running properties put new Chrysler in one number with the best representatives of this direction.
