I didnt know that AMG assembled chrysler crossfire engines!!!!! I don't think its a fake badge because the AMG logo is imprinted on the supercharger, as you can see in the upper left corner. This might raise their value in a few decades, and I think Its surprisingly cool!

It's the C32/M112 engine. One of the few good things to come out of Daimler-Chrysler.

Chrysler did make a Crossfire SRT-6. It's still a Crossfire.

Chrysler was owned by Daimler once upon a time. What's so outlandish about that?

The Crossfire and the SLK are the same car under the skin. So yes, a Crossfire SRT-6 is a less-expensive SLK32 AMG.

The crossfire chassis was a previous generation merc chassis, iirc.

A Crossfire was just a screwed up SLK. Mercedes did all the engineering, Chrysler just made the weird body design changes.

I know that chrysler-daimler were once together, but i didnt think that AMG engines actually found there way into chrysler's cars during the time they were together

I've always kind of likes the SRT-6. I know, it's a sickness. I'll go sit in the corner now...

Yeah the crossfire is basically a Mercedes-Benz SLK320 IIRC.

While it is kind of cool, it was also pay off what killed the Crossfire. It came out well above where it should have been for its market segment price wise, and it came with Mercedes repair bills instead of Chrysler ones, which pretty much priced it out of competition.
On top of that, no red blooded American wanted to buy it - if they wanted German, they would buy German. They wanted a Chrysler, not a Mercedes.
Chrysler needed to put their turbo four in it, instead they fucked up.

But, importantly, it was the previous-generation SLK that became the crossfire, not the new one that came out around the same time.
