The Chrysler Crossfire is a rear-wheel drive, two-seat sports car, marketed by Chrysler and manufactured in Germany by Karmann from 2004 through the 2008 model years.

Developed during the period Chrysler and Daimler-Benz were merged, known as DaimlerChrysler, the two-seater uses the Mercedes-Benz R170 platform and shares 80% of its components with the first generation SLK.

Beginning in 2001 as a concept car styled by Eric Stoddard, the Crossfire was further refined by Andrew Dyson before production started in 2003 for the 2004 model year sales.
