Italian tuner 'FB-ONE' went all-out and decided to re-body a humble Chrysler Crossfire in carbon-fiber, give it wide gold wheels and an AMG derived 3.2-liter engine (possibly from the SLK32 AMG) tuned to 400hp. Oh, and a pair of Audi A8 headlights just for balance.
So, is the German-American-Italian lovechild a recipe for disaster? You be the judge.

Well, its ugly as sin (in my opinion) but I like the concept and I bet its fun to drive!

I'm unsure "humble" ever will really fit the Crossfire. Common, yes, perhaps - but it's not the sort of object one anthropomorphizes as having simple tastes or common sense. Perhaps a better fitting word would be "vulgar".
Which (in the sense of tasteless) it very possibly remains - given larger gold wheels, etc.

Nothing looks right on that. Nothing.

I guess so. Too bad it can only get more vulgar when a tuner lays their hands on it!

I'm holding out for the Mansory Crossfire. Sometimes bad taste is delicious.

A: YIKES.
B: Didn't Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 come with the SLK32 AMG engine under the hood as STOCK? It is basically a re-bodied Merc anyway.

Oh gawd. I'm one that actually likes the Crossfire. I love the American Art Deco versus the German Bauhaus, but this! This is emirate in all the wrong ways. Like an old Boyd Coddington car from the 1980s or 90s, if you're going that far afield from the original car, just build a whole custom body.
