2007 Chrysler Debue at Detroit North America Auto Show

Chrysler Group has provided a few hints – sketches be released later – on two concept vehicles that will
make their worldwide debut in Detroit.

The Jeep Trailhawk concept, according to Chrysler, “merges the spectrum of the Jeep brand by combining
the core features of the Jeep Wrangler with the refined sophistication of the Jeep Grand Cherokee.”
Derived from the new Wrangler architecture, the Trailhawk concept features a new approach to open-
freedom. The four-door open-air experience is designed around a rigid sport-bar system that features a central spine with removable glass panels. The rear skylight and hingedbacklight are also removable.

The Trailhawk is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine and outfitted with upgraded four-wheel-drive hardware. Its name and headlamps are inspired by the bird of prey of the same name.

The Chrysler Nassau concept is a four-door, four-passenger luxury coupe powered by a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 and riding on the Chrysler SRT-8 SLA suspension. Its silhouette recalls the classic “shooting break” but with SUV-like interior volume.

The exterior design is fluid, artistic and sophisticated with an athletic stance. The interior has a flowing, seamless sculptured look of leather and fabrics derived from classic architectural interiors. The instrument panel is a showcase of new technologies in data display, personal control interface and home theatre-inspired
entertainment.
