The Chrysler Firepower was a Dodge Viper based concept car DaimlerChrysler produced under the Chrysler brand. The Firepower's engine was a 6.1 L Hemi V8. According to Chrysler, this engine produced 425hp and could propel the vehicle to a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds.

It was once featured on the cover of Car and Driver, but on that cover its name ended with an exclamation point. This is likely because the car's official name ends with an exclamation point since Chrysler does not own the rights to the "Firepower" name. The use of the name probably is related to the old Chrysler FirePower V8 engine. That engine was Chrysler's first V8 and featured hemisperical combustion chambers.

The Firepower is featured as a download for Project Gotham Racing 3 and is also available in Test Drive Unlimited.
