For the 2005 Model Year, Chrysler released a base model available in Black only, a Roadster and the SRT-6 engine version in both Coupe and Roadster body styles.
The SRT featured an advertised 330 horsepower and 310 ft-lbs of torque from its AMG SuperCharged engine. Those performance numbers were later found to be false. It is believed that Daimler-Chrysler did not want the performance of the Crossfire to appear to be equivalent of the 2004 Mercedes SLK32 AMG, which sports the same engine, especially when the Mercedes cost several thousand dollars more. The specifications for the SRT-6 were found to match the 2004 SLK32 AMG at 349 hp and 332 ft-lbs of torque. That power was delivered by an AMG hand-tuned, supercharged version of the standard 3.2 liter V6.
The SRT-6 also featured a stiffened suspension, a fixed rear wing, and designer alloy wheels. Other small details differentiated the SRT-6 from the other trim levels, such as SRT badges and SRT logo embroidered seats.
The 2005 SRT-6's were available in Aero Blue Pearl Coat, Black, Graphite Metallic, and Sapphire Silver Blue. Machine Gray was added as a new color on 2006 Model SRTs.
There were only three options available on the SRT-6: color, tires and navigation system. A buyer could chose between high performance (summer) tires and all season radials. Also they had a choice of standard audio system, or the audio system with built-in GPS navigation.
The SRT-6 was mainly produced as a 2005 model, with 2,944 of them coming off Karmann's production line in Osnabrueck Germany. (2,016 Coupes and 928 Roadsters). A very limited number of SRT-6's were sold as 2006 models. Only twelve or thirteen 2006 SRT-6's are believed to exist in the U.S. Some of the 2006 SRT's are known to have been Chrysler company cars used for testing, promotions, reviews, and marketing purposes.
