(December 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Motor vehicle Chrysler Airflite Overview Manufacturer Chrysler Body and chassis Class Concept car Body style 4-door coupé Layout Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive Platform Chrysler's LX platform Powertrain Engine 3.5 L EGG DOHC V6 Transmission 5-speed automatic The **[Chrysler](/source/Chrysler_(division)) Airflite** was a [concept car](/source/Concept_car) created by the American car manufacturer [Chrysler](/source/Chrysler_(division)). It was first introduced at the 2003 [Geneva Auto Show](/source/Geneva_Auto_Show). The Airflite's looks were a combination of a sporty design, stylish looks, and some of the design cues from another one of Chrysler's cars, the [Crossfire](/source/Chrysler_Crossfire). ## Design The Chrysler Airflite was based on a shortened version of [Chrysler's LX platform](/source/Chrysler_LX_platform), which was used on the [Chrysler 300](/source/Chrysler_300). The Airflite was powered by a 90° V6 engine. The rest of the Airflite's engine power and torque is still unknown to the public. The major styling approach of the Airflite that typically seen on a sporty two-door [coupé](/source/Coup%C3%A9) model; however, it had the practicality and function of a four-door [sedan](/source/Sedan_(car)). The Airflite blended the design of the [Chrysler Crossfire](/source/Chrysler_Crossfire) and [Pacifica](/source/Chrysler_Pacifica) in its exterior design. Most of the looks of the Airflite (mainly the front and rear) were based on the Crossfire. The seven-spoke road wheel design was based on the Crossfire, as was the satin trimmed windshield. The interior of the Airflite was very spacious and upscale. A dominant center spine connected the interior from the dashboard all the way to the back. The floor was stepped up behind the rear seats to create a raised cargo area. Major styling cues from the Airflite eventually made it into the 2007 [Chrysler Sebring](/source/Chrysler_Sebring) sedan. ## Original Airflyte Airflite is a variation of Airflyte, which described the functional styling and [monocoque](/source/Monocoque) construction of a car made by [Nash Motors](/source/Nash_Motors) (a company that merged with [Hudson Motors](/source/Hudson_Motor_Car_Company) to form [American Motors](/source/American_Motors) (AMC), which was acquired by Chrysler in 1987). The Nash "Airflyte" was introduced in 1949, featuring a roomy interior and an advanced design. Unusual for the time, its [aerodynamic](/source/Automotive_aerodynamics) shape was developed in a [wind tunnel](/source/Wind_tunnel) to reduce the car's [drag](/source/Drag_(physics)) coefficient, which resulted in the new Nash Airflyte having a smooth, wide, and low body. ## See also - [Chrysler Crossfire](/source/Chrysler_Crossfire) - [Chrysler Pacifica](/source/Chrysler_Pacifica) ## References - [Automotive Intelligence: Chrysler Airflite](http://www.autointell.net/nao_companies/daimlerchrysler/chrysler/chrysler-airflite/chrysler-airflite-03.htm) - [Car Design News "Chrysler Airflite concept to debut at the Geneva Motor Show"](https://archive.today/20130118173340/http://archive.cardesignnews.com/autoshows/2003/geneva/preview/chrysler-airflite/index.html), Retrieved on: July 20, 2007. v t e Chrysler vehicles Current models Vans Pacifica Grand Caravan2 Discontinued (by date of introduction) 1920s Imperial Parade Phaeton Six 1930s Airflow LeBaron New Yorker Royal Saratoga Windsor 1940s Newport Town and Country (wagon) 1950s 300 (letter series) Imperial (brand) Royal/Plainsman/Wayfarer 1960s 300 (non-letter series) Turbine Car Valiant VIP 1970s 150/Alpine1 160/180/2-Litre Avenger1 Centura Chrysler by Chrysler Cordoba Drifter Horizon Hunter/Vogue1 Lancer1 Valiant/Regal Scorpion1 Sigma Sunbeam 1980s Conquest1 Dynasty2 E-Class Executive Fifth Avenue Grand Voyager Laser2 Shadow2 TC by Maserati 1990s 300M Cirrus Concorde Imperial Intrepid2 LHS Neon Sebring Spirit2 Stratus2 TEVan Town & Country (minivan) Viper GTS-R Vision1 2000s Aspen2 Crossfire Delta1 300 Pacifica Prowler PT Cruiser 2010s 200 2020s Voyager Concept 200C Airflite Airflow EV Akino Atlantic C-200 California Cruiser CCV Chronos Citadel 700C Delta1 ecoVoyager Falcon Firepower Halcyon Imperial Concept Java ME Four-Twelve Nassau Natrium Norseman Pacifica Concept Patriot Phaeton Pronto Cruizer Category Commons List Notes: * 1Rebadged models from European manufacturers * 2Originally a Dodge in the U.S., sold as "Chrysler" in other countries --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Chrysler Airflite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Airflite) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Airflite?action=history)).
