Chrysler ME Four-Twelve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ME Four-Twelve was a concept car DaimlerChrysler produced under the Chrysler brand. The peculiar name is rooted in the Mid-Engine with 4 turbochargers on a 12-cylinder engine. The supercar is claimed to reach 250 mph with its V12 engine. The car also bears more than a passing resemblance to the Ford GT90 in both appearance and mechanics. While the declared top speed was faster than the McLaren F1 the car was never actually produced, probably due to tensions with Mercedes-Benz, so it couldn't receive the title of fastest production car. That title now rests with the Bugatti Veyron.

Chrysler initially stated that the ME Four-Twelve was a prototype intended to lead to production. They later put a temporary stop to the project after several protests from the SLR division of Mercedes-Benz. However, as of fall of 2005, Chrysler reportedly announced that the project was again "under active consideration" for continued development.
