If you like your daily driver to be different yet capable, then you’re in the right place. The distinctive Crossfire is a rare sight on British roads. And then there’s this car, the SRT-6 model. A very rare version of a rare car. Just 105 RHD SRT-6s were hand built to order by Karmann in Germany for Chrysler. Karmann’s spent most of the budget raiding the Mercedes parts store, leaving this AMG-honed coupe looking almost exactly like any other Crossfire. Yet this is a Crossfire with a very secret weapon – 330bhp and 0-60 in a supercar-bating 5.4sec.
The Crossfire was born in the rush of enthusiasm that followed the merger of Mercedes Benz and Chrysler. Beneath the skin is a Mercedes SLK. The SRT-6 is essentially a SLK 32AMG, using – as a badge on the car proudly proclaims – a handcrafted version of the supercharged 3.2litre Mercedes AMG V6 engine.
This SRT-6 is a 2007 car from the final year of production and finished in attractive Aero Blue with a black Alcantara and leather interior. It is fitted with a Mercedes DSG automatic gearbox and has covered less than 50,000 miles. Distinctive, rare and with the reassurance of Mercedes oily bits, this is a car to surprise passengers and start car park conversations.

Reflects low mileage with minimal wear
The Crossfire interior is a particularly pleasant place to be, thanks in part to sharing most of its architecture with the contemporary Mercedes SLK. That means there’s a quality, upmarket feel to things. As befits its performance, the SRT-6 version dials things up inside, starting with those lovely SRT-6 badged dark grey Alcantara and leather seats. They’re heated and electrically operated too. Badges reminding you that this car was handbuilt by Karmann and features a handcrafted AMG Mercedes engine, all reinforcing the sense that this is a Crossfire, but not quite as you know it.
The low mileage of this car is reflected in the condition of the interior. The seats and door cards are unmarked, as are the handles and silver-finish centre console. Carpets in the cabin and boot are also in very good condition. Although this car has had 8 owners, the Seller tells us that several of them simply stored the car and this seems to show in how well the interior has held up over 15 years.
The Crossfire is a neat, unfussy and distinctive design that has aged well. There are some nice retro touches like those bonnet strakes and wing vents. Aero Blue is one of the most attractive Crossfire colours and, with the stylish 18inch alloys – shod with premium brand tyres - gives this car some real, understated Q-car presence.
Unlike other Crossfire coupe models, the SRT-6 has a fixed rather than retractable rear spoiler. This, along with the subtle body kit, is the only nod to the car’s performance capabilities.
Like the interior, the bodywork reflects the mileage. There are some stone chips on the vulnerable front bumper and bonnet, there appears to be a small stone chip on the driver’s door and the alloys show signs of slight kerbing. Otherwise the bodywork appears from the photographs to be unmarked and the overall impression is of a car that has been cosseted. The subtle SRT-6 badges are intact and the car even has its standard twin-pipe oblong exhaust trim finishers.
The last MOT had a couple of minor advisories on it for the windscreen wipers and headlamp beam. The Seller tells us that he has rectified the wiper issue. A good headlamp polish kit would resolve the other issue, although their condition in the photographs suggests that the lenses are in good order.
All SRT-6s were handbuilt by Karmann for Chrysler in Germany and the car is supplied with its original bill of sale and a breakdown of production numbers.
Beneath the Crossfire metalwork, this car is a Mercedes SLK 32AMG, so not surprisingly it features that firm’s supercharged 3.2litre engine, delivering 330bhp through the rear wheels with the help of a Mercedes DSG automatic gearbox. A badge inside the car indicates that this engine was ‘handcrafted’ by Mercedes AMG. The 32AMG also donated its suspension and brakes to the SRT-6. This is a serious sports car.
A comprehensive history file is available with the car (see photographs) and it has a full service history. It has only covered 1,200 miles since its last service and the MOT runs to May 2023.
Owning a sports car is all about looks and individuality and on those criteria this very rare car fully delivers. The distinctive Crossfire styling and restrained SRT-6 badging and bodykit cleverly disguise this car’s secret: it’s a 330bhp rocketship.
This example is one of the handful of RHD models sold and has clearly been cared for, the condition reflecting the low mileage and its enthusiast Seller. This is a chance to own a rare performance car that will surprise passengers and delight drivers in equal measure.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
