all i have to say is WOW!!! car is gorgeous interior is beautiful (eye catching)

so I guess chrysler is planning to have another performance car like the viper

BlueEyes 01-11-2005 05:05 PM

I think this is meant to be more of a GT rather than a balls to the wall sports car, but it does look great. Reminds me of the GR-1 concept from ford.

PaulieWalnuts 01-11-2005 05:15 PM

funky but cool. looks like a Bently

rx8wannahave 01-11-2005 05:20 PM

Let me tell you, DaimlerCh. has always known how to make good looking cars. The Viper is SOOO GOOD LOOKING and it has a monster under the hood. This new one, and yeah they want it to be more of a GT but be cheaper than the current Viper, looks a little funky but sexy either way.

canaryrx8 01-11-2005 05:27 PM

wow, love the interior, gorgeous car

Dark8 01-11-2005 05:47 PM

All the chrome inside makes me want to order a hamburger! Reminds me of an old 1950's diner. (I'm not that old.)

Ike 01-11-2005 06:13 PM

When I first saw it the first thing that came to mind was the Pantera. I really like it but I do think the hood needs to be toned down a bit.

s13lover 01-11-2005 06:18 PM

Interior is a work of art. Back end (fenders and roof line) reminds me of the GR-1 concept.

BaronVonBigmeat 01-11-2005 06:45 PM

Cool. It looks like DC is taking GM's strategy (take sports car platform, adapt for luxo GT use).

Actually now that I think of it, they had this idea like 10 years ago. The concept for a viper twin with a better interior, softer suspension, and auto transmission was called "Copperhead", IIRC.

shelleys_man_06 01-11-2005 07:34 PM

The silhouette reminds me of the old S30 240Z. The front grille needs a tweak. I know it's a trademark, but it doesn't belong here. Sorry.

vectorwolf 01-11-2005 07:50 PM

That interior is art... wow.

shelleys_man_06 01-11-2005 07:54 PM

Anyone check out those bitchin' LED foglights? Sweet. I also wanted to comment on the interior, in that it's really shiny, and Art Deco-like. shelleys_man_06 likes. :)

Too bad it got 'cancelled.'

But it would appear chrysler is at it again...

bmcc49er 01-11-2005 08:11 PM

Seems like our sexy 8 is going to look old rather quickly with all these new designs coming out. I like the look of the 8 better then this one but it looks to be outdone in the looks dept. very soon with the looks of all these concepts.

khtm 01-11-2005 09:04 PM

it's a chrysler...hellloooooo

therm8 01-11-2005 09:06 PM

at first glance it reminded me of the Mercedes McClaren SLR

RX Renesis 01-11-2005 09:52 PM

no one seems to have mentioned it yet... but don't u people think it looks sooo much like an auston martin?

Yeah, it looks like an aston martin mixed with that concept car that Mercury came out with a few years ago.

How tacky. Chrysler has completely cloned a Viper.

Look familiar?

Eventhe front of their car resembles a snake

Jrook 01-11-2005 10:57 PM

If that car was on the road right now pretty sure it would be a chick magnet.

Ajax 01-11-2005 11:01 PM

Even though it does resemble the viper, I think it looks better.

The ME412 dieing really upsets me. I knew it was in for trouble as it's main backing on the board got voted out of the board in a corporate coup.. So sad..

BlueEyes 01-11-2005 11:16 PM

did the ME412 die? I saw some show the other week where some chick was getting thrashed around on an autoX course in one/

Jrook 01-11-2005 11:21 PM

yeah I saw that show also didn't the guy showing the car to the chick say its still in its development stages

Ajax 01-11-2005 11:35 PM

the article posted above said the project was killed..
