Any MB tuner of the V6 motor in MB cars is now an American car tuner. Evosport, Brabus, Renntech, Carlsson, etc. products will work on the Crossfire.

It's the other way around, Daimler-Benz AG merged "tookover" with Chrysler, and now you have Damler-Chrysler

The Crossfire is built from the CLK320 (W208), so RENNTech's existing CLK320 mods will carry over easily.

Merc will be putting the C32 349hp supercharged motor into the Crossfire Should go well as it weighs less. Then the tuners will have fun. Will have no AMG badges anywhere though.
