it would be insane if they produced that car

Too bad they didn't set the beauty bar.

The rear of that car looks like the designer's revenge.

Chrysler always has SICK prototypes. The Copperhead, Sidewinder, All the crazy Jeep prototypes, The Phaeton(that thing had like no visible horizontal lines from the front!!) , and that other car similar to the Phaeton whos name escapes me.

 

[OceanPark]

is this intended to compete with Ford GT?

Is there really a market for another supercar? specs? But this is Daimler chrysler the creator of the SLR...so I hope they dont disapoint us.

My favorite modern day Supercar is the Saleen S7.

ME412...the taillights r kinda funky. the individual LEDs are on rods that stick out. the chief designer said that supercars have to look like they're going 100 mph standing still, so the bottom is sweeping back while the top counters that by going forward or some shiz like that. damn autoweek is good

it makes a difference if you see the car in person.

I went to naias, i thought the car was really nice
this car is a quad-turbo v12 producing like 850hp.
0-60 in less then 3 seconds

0-60: around 2.6 sec. it's AWD

EXTRA EXTRA!! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

this car would be fun to drive, don't you think.
i don't like all the lights going on on the dash though. looks too much like a video arcade or something.

''and may also set a record for lightening-quick vehicle development. Taking less than one year to complete from start to finish, the Chrysler Group partnered with some of the best in the business to assist in its development.''

Excuse me.... didn't the CLK-GTR take 128 days from drawing board to production?? Somebody correct me on this please...

The ME-4-12 is RWD and it gets to 60 in 2.9 seconds. In my opinion, this is the greatest supercar ever introduced. HAVE YOU SEEN THE INTERIOR!?!?!?!? To turn the car on, you push a red button in the car, and when its fully warmed up, the button turns green which stands for "go!"

really?? got some pics?
