A HIGH-PERFORMANCE version of the Chrysler Crossfire - the SRT-6 - will arrive in the UK in April featuring a supercharged 3.2 V6 engine. The hand-built 330 bhp (246kW) engine includes a helical supercharger and produces 310 lb ft of torque. The new SRT-6 reaches an electronically limited top speed of 155mph and 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds.

To handle the extra power, the Crossfire SRT-6 has performance-tuned ride and handling and an upgraded five-speed automatic transmission. The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) has also been tuned for more spirited driving while uprated performance brakes allow the SRT-6 to go from 60 to 0mph in just 115 feet (35 metres).

Unique, lighter 15 spoke SRT alloy wheels (18-inch front and 19-inch rear) complete the SRT package, along with race-inspired leather heated seats and SRT-6 badging. A fixed spoiler replaces the retractable spoiler found on the standard vehicle. The SRT-6 is priced from £34,335 for the Coupe and £35,335 for the Roadster.
