To distinguish the Starfire from its less motivated donor car, Startech added a unique front spoiler attached to the stock bumper. It not only ups appearances but adds downforce on the front axle at high speed, increasing stability.

Rear axle lift is reduced via Startech's exclusive diffuser inserts for the stock rear bumper, as well as a roof spoiler and three-piece rear spoiler, which features a center piece that extends with the Crossfire's stock spoiler. Other Starfire exclusives include a handmade silver carbon for the dash, center console, door panels, shift knob and e-brake handle, plus a unique sport steering wheel.

Yet more upgrades include brushed stainless-steel sill plates with an illuminated Startech logo plus rich velour floor mats. What's more, Startech has even gone to the extent of including a distinctive cargo cover with partition grill, plus a telephone console with integrated hands-free operation. Also, a VDO Dayton MS 4200 RS navigation system has been integrated.
Startech is planning an "exclusive small-series production run" of its Coupe V8 6.1, with no prices set as of its Los Angeles debut. While the advent of this tuned Crossfire is exciting news for performance car enthusiasts on the whole, it should be especially gratifying to Chrysler execs and faithful fans of the brand that a tuner car company has chosen one of its cars to upgrade, a prospect that might have seemed inconceivable before the funky PT Cruiser was introduced a few years ago. Now the German company tunes a version of the PT as well, plus pretty well every other Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicle available in Europe or imported specifically by Startech.
